Kestrel Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) My Gallery Titled "What is this" because really, what is this. I sure don't know. http://larkoftheriver.deviantart.comhttp://larkoftheriver.tumblr.com Hey guys I'm LarkoftheRiver. Or Sarah. Or Lark, River, Riv, whatever nickname you have came up with. This is the place where I will update and post my artwork. Nifty, eh? Not really. I don't know. I'm 16, and have been drawing for about six years now, give or take. Some traditional artwork, but mostly digital. I have gotten more into watercolor and paint, as those are fun to play with and splatter everywhere. I'm completely self taught. My work is done in Photoshop CS5.5 for Mac, but I also use Firealpacha on occasion and animate with Flash and Premiere. Basically I'm an Adobe user. Also learning Autodesk Maya, which is for 3D. Let's see how that goes. My subjects are mostly nature and animals, but I've been working out my people for a few months now and have made huge improvement from when I first started. Basically I'm a nerd. I'm still scared of this place to an extent. Please talk to me if you want. I don't bite. This is mostly for my own organization, I guess. But feel free to look. All the art will be in spoiler tags labled with the year it was done, or at least dated as accurately as I can without looking up the file's timestamps on my computer. I will take Cosmere/other fandom related requests (no OCs however) if I am in that fandom. I also take point commissions on Deviantart, and will start real money commissions soon. They are ordered in reverse chrological order, so it is easier to update the page. Also, I love feedback! Please give me feedback. This is your invite to comment, critique, anything constructive so that I can improve. I always want to improve. If you have any questions or want a tutorial, please ask! Any art that says blood warning has blood. I do not draw much blood/gore usually, nor is it intense, but its there just in case anyone needs it. On a side note, instead of upvoting, could you please reply to the thread? It makes it easier for me to update things and give me more feedback! Thank you for viewing!

The art however, is and these cannot be used without permission from myself or the owner of the character (commissioner). Thanks.

Kaymyth Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 OK, this is one thing I cannot do: draw. Necessity has gotten me decent at sketching out costume outlines, and I can muck around in Photoshop for a bit, but not so much with the drawing/painting. You've got a knack. You should totally do that thing where you grab old landscape paintings on the cheap from garage sales and paint monsters into them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Wow your work is awesome! I'm noticing a wolf trend going on. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well, that can be expected. I mean, wolves are awesome. I love wolves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should totally do that thing where you grab old landscape paintings on the cheap from garage sales and paint monsters into them. Thanks! Practice and practice. Photoshop is hard to draw in, too, as it is more meant for photoediting. Oh, the sorrow of a Mac user. I have no idea what program to use.Never thought of doing that owo. I'm really tempted, but I don't want to ruin someone else's art! Wow your work is awesome! I'm noticing a wolf trend going on. . Thank you! My wolf trend is a disappointment. If only I had worked more on drawing humans t.t. I want to do some Cosmere animations but have no idea how to begin. My middle school self dragged me down into this hole. Well, that can be expected. I mean, wolves are awesome. I love wolves. idk they aren't very cool to me anymore. Still fun to draw but not my favorite animal anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 There's this thing I use that has this pen and a board where it attaches to the computer. I think its called wacom. I have one and it works really well for drawing on a computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrel Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I have four pen tablets around my house. All are Wacom. The one I use now is a Wacom Intus Pen and Touch. Currenly saving up for a Wacom Cintiq. But that's like $1000 so its either that or a piccolo. Choices. But "hard to draw in" I meant that Photoshop is hard to use for that stuff, pen tablet or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Oh., I see. I use photoshop and I like it. Different tastes for different folk, I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrel Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I like it, but once you go to a software that has line smoothing, stability, and more brushes that work far more functionally for art, it is kinda hard to go back. I want SAI but I have a Mac. Might get a VM for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I wish I knew something about art, so I could offer more substantial input than "Your art is good and I like it." But... I don't know anything about art. So. Your art is good and I like it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kestrel Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Thanks all! Your comments are always appreciated! And something a little different. I've finally got Maya on my computer and was able to transfer the wolf I've been working on at school so that I can mess with it over the summer holiday. Here's what I have so far on it. He needs work. Like a lot. I currently am working with one side, so the actual editing process looks more like this I just will duplicate the other side and flip it, which is how I got the above screenshots. So that part of his face is really wonky but I'll get to that later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
