<div class="IPBDescription">Simple Doodle</div> Well, I was bored in Biology (Too bad antomy isn't open to sophmores in high school <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> ) on Thursday while we watched a video over algae, so I got out my good old .5 mm mechanical pencil and went from a single line and came up with this.

It's just a simple doodle, but, for me, i'm complusive about some things, and it seems a bit "Off" somehow, and I, myself, can't identify the problems with it, which is where you people come in.

Any things that jump out at you that seem weird?

    that ain't no doodle. Doodles don't equal as much kikass as that does.

    To recapp: doodles=no kikass, that=kikass

    Didn't notice anything weird, but as you asked, i had a hard look.
    Well, the breathing tube should be a little more flimsy if you know what i mean, like laying on top of the shoulder instead of supporting itself in mid air. Wouldn't of noticed if you hadn't of said anything though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    How did you draw that without the teacher confiscating it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Aha! I see what's wrong! His head is a nanometer too thick.

    Dang! I knew it was too thick of a head! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, I noticed the breathing tube after you mentioned it, which helps, but something still seems...awkward. Probably my simple paranoia about everything I draw, since I have a bad habit of comparing everything I do to Samwise, and we're on totally different levels of skill <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Course I haven't taken any classes on how to draw yet...hmmmm *rubs chin*

    As for not getting it confinscated... I'm just that crafty <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> No, actually, all my teachers know I have the capability to do about 7 things at once if need be, so I can be sitting there with headphones on, reading a book, have the TV on, and listening to someone on the phone, and still pick up whats going on with all of them <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, if anyone pics anything else up, tell me, because I dislike being paranoid <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Compliments are also well accepted by myself <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Too many smilies in this post, i feel dirty...

    hmm, it is absolutly stunning

    however I think I might have hit on one thing

    Its head, it seems just slightly not curved (feels flat)

    I THINK the reason for this is simply the lines on the paper (when ever I knowtice them they keep catching my eye and throwing it off)

    I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, however, yes your drawing skills are great (give us more, ;D)

    For a 'doodle' thats.... damn impressive <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Better than anything i could do <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think, imo, that the thing that seems off-putting is the pocket. Im not sure what it is, its either too small, at an akward angle.. or just something... ? Perhaps its the way it bends, the (his) right side of the pocket seems bigger than the left... Dunno, but thats the only thing that looks wrong <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Also, imo the tube seems right, if i needed that I wouldn't want it flimsy, if you know what I mean.. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Bloody good doodle! After staring at it for a while, I guess my only "problem" is that it's neck seems afully short, but that took a lot of looking to notice...

    thats some awsome skill you got there.
  • MedHeadMedHead Join Date: 2002-12-19 Member: 11115Members, Constellation
    What I notice is that he has a very small neck (his head is too close to his shoulders) and his pocket is too small, and too high.

    Thanks for the input, folks.

    well, i've got some more things people might have not have picked up on....

    the pocket stiked me as odd, assuming he's got gloves on, how's the gunna undo that button?

    again with the pocket, with a pocket that small...what's he gunna put in there? reminds me of the skin-tight pants these college girls are wearing, makes their @$$ look good, but the pockets are useless....and in a chemical-looking-suit, the useless pockets do even LESS (no nice @$$ under it)

    one word.... shoulders? (the kinda seem like they aren't there)



    but other than that, it's sweet, it's awsome, can i have your hands? (i can't draw!)
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    my points
    poket? ID holder (I Say)

    shoulders, he DOES have em, they are just off scrn and the way the pic is made it ends up looking sorta screwy

    I wish I could at least draw as good as that. The best I could draw is a very odd stick figure. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    hmm i don't know but... the gas mask looks a bit off.. it's a tiny bit too close to the left eye (his rgiht eye) or is a bit too forward/up

    I don't know I'm just saying that because you wanted me to find something and that's the first thing I noticed. And the fact that his coat has whatyacallem buttons.

    I think we are getting to it here. The pocket is drawn as if you were looking at him from above. Just try to cover the bottom half up to the top button with your hand and you'll see it will get better.

    I also see something else here that is very disturbing to the eye, the left shoulder (from out perspective) it slightly higher than the right shoulder. And the heads position makes it hard to picture the image to be "sidways". If you get my drift. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> I think that (combined with the pocket) is your main problem.

    Great work. Drawings like that just makes you feel good (this one a little dizzy <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->).
