At last we have a new scanner with an upgraded computer at home! woohoo

woohoo

It's a long time since I wished to make an attempt in drawing pictures regarding Gatchaman and I wish to thank all those who encouraged and inspired me to do so through their wonderful, creative work. The following pic that I'm attaching is an amateur freehand, pencil drawing - my first pic regarding Gatchaman! You may instantly guess which character is the protagonist of my first drawing! Wonder who?! (I hope that my favorite character won't be offended by my drawing which should resemble him!) drumming

That's a very good drawing , Gatchmarie! The shadowing is great, and the eagle in the background gives the look of a proffesional sketch!

Sincere thanks for all your complements! I extremely appreciate them! Telling the truth, I was a bit worried about the shading and Ken's face. Looking at the pencil strokes I definitely think that I need to neaten my shading a bit and I think I have omitted some here and there! Regarding Ken's face, I had to look at another pic of his while drawing! The features tend to be a bit tricky! As for the eagle, I always thought it as a wonderful, complex bird which is also intriguing to draw. It became more interesting when featured as Ken's title! I will try to do some other drawings in the future, time permitting.

lborgia88 Gatchamaniac posted 16 Aug 2009 09:18

Wow! That is beautiful, Gatchamarie, and such skillful shading! I really hope you keep drawing more Gatch pictures.

It's a rare thing for me to have almost a whole day at leisure with just my kids romping around while doing some small household jobs and waiting for my DH to return back home from work to go to the beach later on during the day! Having had an hour to spare I immediately took the opportunity to draw another pic with my two kids on each side trying to copy me! It's a drawing of Joe in his thinking mood (a facial expression I like a lot of him!). I found the facial features more tricky this time and had to look continuously at another pic again almost copying it bit by bit freehand but hope I got near his resemblance! I also had to hurry up as my kids then got bored and wanted attention (same old story!)!

Springie Her Royal Fluffiness...Swan of Swans... posted 18 Aug 2009 04:31

Lovely!! Joe is very hard to draw for some reason...his face is so detailed and he has such angular features! You did a great job on him! I know exactly what you mean about the kids...mine do the same thing!! And I've been keeping my nephew for about a month this summer...so I had three with me! Keep up the terrific work!!

gatchamarie Gatchamaniac posted 18 Aug 2009 04:36

Thanks Springie! And yes, Joe is hard to draw! I learnt it today! You must have had a tough month looking after three kids! I love kids but sometimes they are tiring! Nevertheless, I'm nothing without them!

amyltrer Gatchamaniac posted 18 Aug 2009 07:57

The chin is quite tricky to draw. And his chhekbones too! But you did it great! Wonderful Condor, Gatchmarie!

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 18 Aug 2009 13:32

You did a great job on both pics gatchamarie! You did a great job with both pictures using limited lines and great shading. I especially love the Eagle with the eagle! But maybe that is because I am biased towards him. Although I do love the grace, power and strength of the eagle as well so I think that is what made the picture so majestic for me. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with. Maybe I can convince you to draw a picture of the Owl for me as well. Animetongue

I cannot tell you how many times I redid his cheekbone Amy! Thanks again! CD, thanks to you also and promise that I'll try to draw one of the Owl for you! Hope that I won't disappoint you as I have a long way to go, my drawing being rusted by the past years! (saw other artists' drawings on other websites, including the ones we see here, lately and was stricken with awe!) This is somehow becoming one of my favorite hobbies lately when time permits!

I'm sure that if you're not so good in drawing you excel in other things where others don't (e.g. writing, etc) as every person is special in his/her own way! Creativity does not come out only by drawing! Huggles

Yes, there are many forms of creativity, from story writing, drawing, song filking and IF writing to needle work, doll making and costume designing/making. All of which people on this board are active in and have been encouraged to work in, while (or since) joining this forum. You are correct we all have our creative talents somewhere - I think it is all part of that creative mind required to enjoy Gatch and bring the characters to life.

That is great Gatchamarie! You are correct I do enjoy this picture. I love that he is winking at me and is that a pillow he is carrying? Perhaps so that we can lie on the beach in the sand and not get sand in our hair. Actually I am surprised I managed to "encourage" you so quickly. I usually think I do not have the ability to use the pokey stick or whip to get people to do things. Or if I try it requires a few more people to help me in the persuading .... perhaps I am getting better at this. Although I think TJ is the master. Smile

Thanks to all of you! CD, I'm happy you liked it! The fact is that, during these days in which I'm a bit free from work, I'm feeling like a child who has just discovered her love for drawing again and I'm taking every opportunity to do so especially when I also rediscovered my love for Gatchaman as a fan! I also don't like to let down a friend by nature! If I didn't have time to do so you might have waited for a bit longer but I always try to keep a promise! As for the pillow, you can take it wherever you want with you ... it is always handy! Wink

Pleased

gatchamarie Gatchamaniac posted 22 Aug 2009 11:04

CD, you've surely came out with a good solution! You've got all planned out there! Hino, to be honest, my part-time work, being that of creating and designing novelty cakes from scratch, enables me to practice with my drawing as I have to make a sketch of what I want to be the final product every time I have to make one that I have never done before. Not using any specifically shaped bakeware but cutting the cake's shape from a rectangular or squared cake according to the character or theme in question, I only make a rough sketch of them, most importantly the outline, and then create my work on top with sugar paste. I only get into detail when there are certain features involved such as the character's eyes, hair or clothing, etc. Sometimes, I also find it more feasible to trace out certain details which I have to cut out from sugar paste as accurate as possible! This notwithstanding, it is true that it was a long time since I sat down and drawn a picture completely from the beginning to the end, with shading and definition and I am quite enjoying it when I can, especially when it's Gatchaman that I'm drawing!

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 22 Aug 2009 14:16

Ooooo, I now know several people who do cake decorating. One of the ladies (girls) in the course I took this summer decorated cakes as well. She was doing some very fancy stuff. In fact one weekend she made a cake in the shape of a ladies purse and then a second weekend she was making one in the shape of a fire truck - with details and all of course. I loved the little dalmation dog running along beside the truck.

Ooh! I felt like was listening/watching one of the cake eps on Food Network Challenge when you were describing your work, Gatchamarie! (not sure if you have ever seen or heard of the show. If not, click here Food Network Challenge I'm always so taken by the thought, talent, and detail that go into custom novelty cakes. Another talent I only wish I possessed!!! Would you be willing to share pics of some of your work?

gatchamarie Gatchamaniac posted 23 Aug 2009 23:35

Firebird, sadly, I've never had the opportunity to make a Gatch cake! The thing is that no one has ever ordered me one as most of the cakes I do are mainly children related and the younger generation do not know well or have never heard of Gatchaman unfortunately! The trend today is Disney or character heroes like Batman, Spiderman, Superman, etc. As I'm the only one in my family (and I think on this island as I never met someone who either remembers or talks about Gatchaman, believe it or not!) that is a fan of Gatchaman (am I a weirdo?!) I find it hard to make one for myself only, owing to the work involved and usually doing this work for others to enjoy! But I'll surely be delighted if I had the chance to do a Gatch one! Perhaps, after the movie, they'll become more popular, cross fingers! Hino, thanks a lot for the link! I'll take my time to browse in it as I'm always open to new ideas! To be sincere, I tried to attach some of my pictures but the files are all greater than 500KB and they couldn't be sent. I'll Poke

But we're so far away! We just have to dream! CD, why not put the three of them in the tub altogether?! I don't think you would object! If we continue like this, we'll have a fight over who will be fortunate enough to join them! I'm afraid that there isn't enough space for all of us! The tub must be a lot bigger!

TJ and I had this discussion last year when we were sitting alone in the pool hot tub waiting for Comic Con to begin. I think we decided we should have brought Springies pictures of the boys in the hot tub and taped them beside us. Have you seen those pictures Gatchamarie? I am sure they are around here some where.

Thanks to you all guys! It was fun trying to draw it though it took me long to finish! Springie, I agree that the arm should have been a little longer and I think even the palm of her hand! In fact, I did notice it while I was drawing the pic but I was too lazy to adjust it! It is tricky to draw with MS Paint, especially using the Mouse but my secret in drawing small items and areas that need precision is to enlarge the view by zooming and almost draw them pixel by pixel. Gatchgirl, hope you're feeling better now! Amy, I also thought of Ken being the one who gave her the flowers! At least, if he gave woman-eating Jigokillers to his girl, he would have given her a burnt bunch just to be ironic!

lborgia88 Gatchamaniac posted 27 Aug 2009 14:04

I love your MS Paint drawing of Jun, Gatchamarie! Her face is especially lovely, as are the flowers. Something I really appreciate about doing drawings electronically is the "undo" command -no matter what I screw up, or if I decide I want something to be a different colour instead, it can all be changed easily! If I were using real paint, on a canvas, I think I would quickly get very frustrated! Your cakes are gorgeous too, and truly works of art. I'm getting a hankering for sweets, just looking at them.

Thanks again, Hino! It would surely be great to do a Gatch cake as part of a challenge! I have taken part in competitions in the past (I also have won one!) but they were only for amateurs! You cannot imagine what professionals are able to do with some sugarpaste and icing at hand! Some creations are incredible and I do not even know from where to begin to compete at their level! Regarding the hot tub one ... who will volunteer to cut it?!
