Rayman Origins

[Slogbait]

Pretty much all of the enemies in Desert of Didgeridoos and Grumbling Grottos were references to Angry Birds.

Take a looks at this amazing art. TFDs originally found this.

[Haruka]

Britta found these one day.

[Minor-T5]

Dang it. Then sorry for bringing back this topic for nothing.

[Slogbait]

Nah, it wasn't for nothing. Even though it's old news, it's still pretty great and still enjoyable to look at. I wish I were that skilled at painting.

[Minor-T5]

I bet you're a lot better at drawing than I am. I mean, you should see my drawings. There so...horrible.

[Slogbait]

Well you've got your whole life to improve. If you like drawing, just keep at it. You'll get to where you want to be eventually as long as you don't give up.

[Minor-T5]

I've gotten that advice from tons of people, but thanks anyway.

[Slogbait]

It is very useful advice you should stick with, because it really does work. You don't even have to be super adamant about drawing, either. Sometimes people will say things like draw at least one thing a day and challenge yourself and junk or you'll never get better, but all you really have to do is be observant. If you notice you're doing something wrong when you do draw, fix it and remember not to make the same mistake next time.

[Minor-T5]

Thanks again. I don't know what to say, really.

Exactly. The two things I can say are take that advice, and practise. I've loved to draw ever since I was really young and do it frequently. As a consequence, I'm a pretty decent drawer. When I was still having trouble with hands, I started to look very carefully at how my own hand looked from different perspectives - that helped a lot.

[Haruka]

Both Slogbait and Shrooblord's advices need to be taken in consideration, Minor-T5. Its what I would also advice to you: Practice makes the master!

I spend my life drawing, so I must say this to you.

A good, and recognizable artstyle is only obtained the moment you study other people's works. As a priority, study your biggest influences and inspirations. Mine are for example Walt Disney, Joe Murray and Craig McCracken. Not only you should study the movements, study their face expressions, their anatomy, and their colour palettes. If you're looking for something photorealistic, study the colours and iluminations of photographies/pictures.

Studying human anatomy is mandatory. Even for cartoons. Why for cartoons? Because to break the rules you need to know them first. Not kidding.

Do what you like the most, and never feel forced to use certain methods to make art look "good" (me, for example, I hate oil pastels). There are plenty of ways to make art, find the one that makes you feel more comfortable and then practice. Eventually, you'll learn some different methods.

My art sucked a lot 3 years ago (an art teacher said that my art was inconsistent, and that my trace was poor and dirty), now, with a lot of practice, I'm proud to show stuff like this:



And that's just the beginning. I still have a lot to learn. Some traces in this picture still look pretty bad.

Study samples, experiment with colours, be creative and never, but never ever, give up. They day you become talented and people ask you "Where did you learn how to draw?" just respond "Nowhere, it was just me, practicing all the time". Have fun!

[Minor-T5]

Practice makes the master!

Sergio, I like your art style. Very cartoony.

my most beloved world there is well the mystic cliff place

[Minor-T5]

Mystic Cliff...? I think you mean Mystical Pique.

[darkkitty]

[Rulez]

Schmooky.luke. being stupid again, I see?

Repost from Rare Rayman Pictures:
Oh! I just remembered the Polish comedy TV series (which I honestly enjoy), "rodzinka.pl". The kids' room has a nifty Rayman Origins wallpaper of sorts.

[Haruka]

I wouldn't consider a rare picture since its an artwork that everybody knows, but its a trivia that can be added in the Raywiki article of "Rayman in popular culture".

[Rulez]

Apologies, then.
