My drawings

[leethal]

Here they go, my own drawings.

They may come out HUGE, though. I have no idea what size they have.

These drawings sometimes convey my feelings at the time.

This is from a time where I felt oppressed by some influence (friends and family) that I couldn't battle or escape.


This is the one I drew to simbolize my girlfriend's pain for being stuck with me ()


This one is somewhat due to sometimes the things that should be good end up biting you and the bad things help you through. I hope you understand the drawing. (hint, search for the beginning of the beams that hit the girl)


This is what some people may call a "tribal". It has no intention, though. It's just the continuous motion of the pencil and the ladder filling of the blanks.


Like Metallica once said:
"I cry to the alleyways
confess all to the rain
But i lie, lie to the mirror
The one i've broken to match my face"


This one is actually a drawing on both sides of the paper. The heart you see is on the other side of the paper. It symbolizes the enduring we go through to reach freedom, and the protection we give our ideals and principals and who we are in the core so that in the end we won't regret what we've become.


*Did i just have a precog?*


This one symbolizes the actual battle. How I face every day, and every little thing that is thrown at me... Aren't we all warriors?


This one is the weight of taking seriously everything everyone says to you. Worrying about what the people you care most will think of you. A tribute to Mr Atlas who held the sky for us to live in peace.


This one is one of my favourites. It has two meanings. Figure them out.

Colour version


This one is for when you feel the ground slipping away.. Like you're banned from the earth by nothing. Just ripped out. And trying to hold on...


--- My drawings are terribly depressing. But i don't mind. I think they're beautiful. Simply because they're me. Not that i'm beautiful or anything ---

Freedom. Of all things.


I have a series of pitcures about the end of the world. Not necessarily ours. I just like special effects. More of these will come.



Round 2


Round 3


Round 4


Round 5, that's all.


Enduring the wrath of the family who disapproves of every choice you make. Holding your ground without striking back.


The things so close... The difference between the one who wants to go to the moon , and the one that just wants to live another day.
Why can't we help each other?


The breakthrough


Ah, memories.


Physical pain/Emotional pain. That was hard, huh?


People tend to like this one.


If we were a different race. An alien race. If we had gone a different path. Here's a soldier.



Ok, Sorry for the huge stuff, but that's it. That's all!

Comment at will.

EDIT: They turned up small. If you want the full rez drawings, they're at my blog. mundoinconformado.blogspot.com/search/label/shades%20of%20gray

First to comment and wow leethal you are very good at drawing I have some skills some what I hope to improve on my skills I took up studio and arts for a class at my school^_*

These were mostly made in A5 pages.

A friend of mine has convinced me to start doing drawings in A4 paper, in order to be able to get more details in.

Do you do your drawings freehand? I'm taking some drawing classes too. But at the college level. It's fun sometimes. Just got to get the feeling to draw. I'm always so lazy ;D

[leethal]

My drawings are just pencil + rubber. And you can see the influence of dragonball in most. Though i tried to grow from the anime look. I tried to go for a more reallistic look. Didn't turn out so great.

[brandonslau]

i love them my favorite is the girl chained up the way you made her body and all the stalactites around whatever you call them.

[Kain]

You'll teach me. I Swear, You'll teach me how to draw so good.

[leethal]

There's not much to learn.

[Kain]

Too bad, I was really hoping that you will. Why does it say that you joined in April this year?

[leethal]

I joined psiworld this year. What else?

My technique goes through a lot of mirror-watching. I got lucky i had a time when I was pretty muscular and I could see the muscle forms. That helped a lot. And then i got a girlfriend and i could observe the female body. So more fun for me.

I use my fingers a lot to smudge shadows and movements. I watch a lot of cartoons (mostly anime) to get both inspiration (no copies. really, I have a notepad full of dragonball drawings. it was enough.) and techniques (lighting, efects, etc.). I use the darkest pencil all the time. So my lines are pretty deep. So I need to be sure of what I'm doing. The problem is, I don't. So some drawings get some deep dents in the paper.

Practice makes perfect. Don't despair if the drawing doesn't turn out decent. Just learn what has gone wrong, correct it (pencil is for erasing) and re-do. It's not easy to fix something broken cause sometimes it has sideeffects on the rest of the drawing (if you draw a nose too big and then correct it, the face gets too big for the nose) so it takes a lot of dedication to correct a mistake. but you start to learn what went wrong in the first place.

Wow... amazing stuff

I really like the holding onto the earth one, becuase you can really feel the person's emotions etc.

Oh and I like the way you draw feathers too. Hehehe. (grabs feather off picture)

[leethal]

I resent miss Karen for not giving me her oppinion.

[JediKaren]

lol sorry. I don't go into this board much except for my story.

Your drawings are mostly awesome. Some really outdoing mine. You have a great way of showing motion, lines, and shadowing. I'm very impressed.
