Don't You Hate It When...

The thing that pisses me off is the fact that I have been doing some really nice work, then you sibling comes along & screws it up! It drives me NUTS!

Probably of subject, but another thing is the fact you can't erase sharpies.

*eh, a piccy I was working on awhile ago, but even a thin sharpie messes up the eyes!*

& Roseart...
Not a very good product...
at all.
Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way. ^^;

Rose Art coloring products (pencils, crayons, markers, paint) contain vary little pigment. They are either all water or all wax. And their other products stink, too. Any little toys they make are made from cheap plastic that'll break after one or two uses.

Exactly. I just saw their commercial again for the first time in forever (back to school hype), and it's the same one they've been using for the past 10 years. Cheap. <_<

[quote="Animemaster2334 (Lindsay)"] I found another thing I can't stand, Artisi block. Ugh, I get it all the time. I want to draw but I don't know what to and then when I'm really busy I get a ton of cool ideas. Grr... <_< [/quote]
I hate it because I always have the same damn problem. Also when I get an idea, I sometime don't have a pencil or paper... what doesn't happen often...

I'm totally with you ! it happens to be also. Today, I drop my picture on the floor before something scared me during I was concentrated on it... and on the picture I was doing to, I did wrong lines that made the eyes very su**. Sometimes I can correct it, but like everybody I think sometime it's permanent... lol my opinion is globally the same as you, so you know what I want to say.

I really hate it when I'm doing two people in a pic and screw up on one. Like on a recent one I did, it was supposed to be one person holding another one, and I made the person being held way too small and had to start over. I was doing the outlining in Sharpie. . . . .

I hate it when I mess up on inking. Also, I REALLY hate it when I try to draw someone like a celebrity, and I do it good but it looks NOTHING like them. Like, it's a good picture, but it doesn't look like the person i tried to draw. WTF?

I've gotten most of my prisma colors at Michael's. They have a box that's seperated into different colors, so you can buy different colors when you need them.

Unfortunately, they're around two bucks a pencil, and they don't have all the colors prisma has to offer. I got this one at a local Art supplies shop, and they had ALL the colors, of which there are quite a few.

Anyway, I hate it when you want to use foreshortning, and you can't seem to get it right! There's one picture that remains a sketch to this day: I loved everything, but when I got to this one leg, ug..... I had drawn, erased, and repeated so many times, you could see the lines!

I also dislike sharpies, and ballpoint pens of all kinds! They totally ruin your picture, because they're over loaded with ink, and will make the line much bigger than you intend. That's why I get nothing but Sakura Micron pens now.

Colors can make or break a picture. One picture I have was supposed to be sad, so I tried to put blue over it to get a depressing atmosphere. It totally ruined it. Luckily, I was able to save the picture, but it could have been worse.

Noooo.... Sharpies can be awesome. If you use them in the right instances. They fail for outlining serious pictures, but I've come up with a few nice Sharpie doodles, and they are great for drawing on unconventional surfaces (like my umbrella.... which did not survive the typhoon that we had the other day ;~; ).

I used to draw a rough draft, trace it for final lineart via a lightbox, and then color the trace. Once, to make two identical cards, I did it twice, and then colored them both by hand. It was really stupid of me - took me ages to finish. I don't know why I did it like that. No more lightboxes for me these days.

1)I hate Rose Art products and
2)when your hand slips when you are coloring (or inking) and you have a fat gouge of color across your page that won't erase.
3)Also, if you are using a pen that doesn't dry quickly, you can accidentally drag your hand across the ink and smudge it and ruin the whole pic, and
4)when you think you did a great picture and then when you are finished, you notice something horribly wrong with it or someone hates it. Sad

Well, I can't draw dragons ether, but that's what practice, refrence, and lotsa sketching is for. Smile

I agree with you, though.

I love drawing dragons - they're pretty much what I started out with. But they're cute little cartoony dragons, so maybe they don't count? o_o;

As for smudging ink before it dries... Aargh! I've screwed up so many pictures by doing that. Usually by trying to erase my pencil lines before the ink's fully dried. I'm too impatient for my own good.

I hate it when that happens!! It seems to happen to me all of the time! when I trace over the picture in ink, the eyes get screwed up or something! XD and then I end up having to throw away the picture that I spent so long on!
Like just the other day, I was drawing a picture of Vincent Valentine(from final fantasy VII) and I was all through with the pic, I had inked it and everything! and then I notice, I accidently drew his left hand on his right hand!!! and it was so weird looking! so I had to use white out! XD and now .. the picture willl never be the same.. Laughing

u don't need to throw it away, u can just scan it and fix it on the computer with photoshop or even paint ^_^
