I haven't drawn in a long, long time and today I felt motivated to start again. A few Steemians have been pushing me to start as well. :P
Hindsight I should've started out with something more simple, not that it felt all too difficult but it was a lot of work and by the end my hand was hurting and I could tell how my brain was trying to cheat and do things faster and less focused. It ended with me not finishing any shadows really and the parts that felt less important got drawn really quick as I was nearing the end of my energy and concentration. Respect to artists who do this every day for long hours, it really takes a lot of dedication that you don't expect when starting out.
Anyway, here is Diablo from the Blizzard Franchise.
Maybe next time I'll have more energy to finish the shadows and highlight things a bit more. Might even stream the drawing to keep me more motivated to do a good job at it. :D
Here is the reference I used for this drawing:
from this deviantart user
Sweeeeeet, @acidyo! I had no idea you were an artist as well! This is great. Definitely try to make more tome to draw and share it.

Same with you @acidyo, I have been long time never use pensil to draw too and then some steemians made me want to draw again. And this is my result (not bad but not so good too ;))

The drawing is going great and I had no idea that you will dedicate yourself to drawing, try to draw Andariel or The Cow King would be incredible.

I mean.... it' s ok I guess. The thing is you put in too much detail too soon without getting the basic shapes right. Now it looks a bit like jangled mess a bit. A for effort tho :D

wow Acid O_O
you are doing well! Diablo very well turned :) Interestingly, will you continue to work on this sketch? I would like to see it in color :))
Have you ever painted? cool, very interesting, I would like to see. When I first saw this picture on your blog, I could not believe my eyes. I would never have thought you were their artists' numbers! Glad to see you :)
if you have pictures that are dusting in the table, now is the time to share them with us :) Believe me, it's very interesting to see.
Yes, I agree with you, work on writing a picture takes a long time, especially if it's oil paints. Drawing a pen, working on small details is very painstaking, and takes a long time. You seem to have just started drawing like 03:00 :))))
But it's worth it!
Bravo is a friend!

This is truly awesome! I've been having 0 motivation to draw lately, but seeing drawings like this really motivates me to start again :) I like how this one turned out, do you only draw or do you sometimes paint as well?

I've noticed you haven't been posting much in the last week. Hope you aren't giving up. If you don't feel like posting about drawing or design, post some pics of Macedonia. Most people don't have a clue about anything related to Macedonia.

wow you did a fantastic job man, i really like this Diablo because you draw it with nice precision and to me that's some skill, a little bit of more finishing touches and your diablo is ready to rock.

Thanks, if you read a back-story of the drawing, you can find part where i'm said that in the beginning i give up. Determination and dedication is the key of creation of this drawing.

Wow! It's great: D and I share your opinion, particularly when I start to draw I can not stop, but if I notice that the energies reach a point where they are exhausted and that's when you have to take a break. My congratulations, I remain excellent

Impressive level of detail! Yes, it does take a lot of patience and concentration to do "intense" drawings like this... but it becomes a lot easier when you do it on a regular basis; eventually it's almost like a meditation.

This is very well done. Both the original as well as your drawing.
You really should do more of this, at least to keep your skills sharp and us entertained. Is there anything else you really would like to draw?

I'm glad you picked up the pencil again to draw!
Have not you done it for a long time? but you did not forget anything!
and good, seriously! Wow! I did not know you were so good at drawing @acidyo.
You have an artist inside!
I hope you draw again for Steemit, so the people who follow you can see what you do and see the finished drawing.
I'm sure we would all love to see more!
I also want to tell you about your experience while drawing, the pain and fatigue that comes with making a drawing, that's what many artists feel when we spent some 8 or 10 hours to make a drawing to be published here in Steemit, many pains in the hand, neck and back.

I once heard that if you feel exhausted after doing art work than it was good for gaining milage - once you feel refreshed and energetic you experienced what people call "a flow". Which is a real good feeling as you certainly know. To get milage it's a long long way. Like starting the first apartment and getting used to cooking. After years of practicing food preparation it just comes naturally.
Indeed, not a bad idea to put your drawing online to discipline yourself:)
Would you like to become more skilled in what you usually consume through gaming and be also a creator of avatars and characters? I think this is a logical step.
Your dragon looks fine so far. Have you worked on it more?

I was turning on steemit and I saw your draft and I stopped to look, it seems that is coming out well .... it is a design with lots of details really it takes a lot of concentration to do it .... with the shadows and all the finished details definitely comes a good design ... hello
