Photos to draw

[alias_sqbr]

I have finished my white_lotus assignment! So now I'm bored.

Since I need to practice drawing from life (or something like it) and tend to lose enthusiasm for random pictures that noone cares about(*): please link me interesting looking large-ish photos that would make for nice sketches/digital paintings. People, landscapes, adorable animals, whatever. Nothing too sexy or gross, please, and I reserve the right to get bored of this idea really quickly (though interesting photos are always nice to look at regardless ^_^)

I did some Full Metal Alchemist fanart but I'm not very happy with it (it's ok aesthetically, but the basic concept feels a bit off)

While looking up the wiki page for Roy (I love that there's wikis for everything, makes keeping canon consistent much easier) I saw that the Japanese voice actor had done a song for a spinoff album. "Really?" I thought. "He has a nice voice, but doesn't sound like he could sing." And sure enough it's just him doing a monologue over oddly boppy music.

(*) I enjoyed drawing_life for a while then ran out of steam.

Well, you're welcome to check out anything on my photostream on flickr. A lot of it is screencaps, but there are pictures I took at conventions and stuff like this picture of a friend of mine which you're totally welcome to.

On the one hand: awesome! On the other hand...too many decisions! *ponders which fishy to draw*

[alias_sqbr]

Jellyfish!

[aris_tgd]

Awesome! I love the sense of motion you've given them, like they're dancing.

Thankyou! It's a cool image.

I don't know if it's what you want to do but I've been wanting a drawn version of my Wolverina photo for ages, but wasn't sure how to explain to people that I want a picture of drawn as it being Wolverina. If that makes sense.

Otherwise feel free to have fun with any of the silly stuff I have in my flickr?

So you mean a slightly stylised picture that makes you look more like a female Wolverine? I could give that a shot.

[ex_gretel640]

Yeah. One the features from the photo I linked, that started the joke in the first place. I guess.

I am making myself sound like a more fussy person than I actually am here. It was just funny I saw your post after thinking about how I wanted that picture drawn.

I did do a sketch from the photo, but it came out terrible, so then I traced it :) Hope this is vaguely what you were after.

[ex_gretel640]

That is awesome.

It is indeed vaguely what I was after. :)
