[question...] what picture should i use??

sora2522 · #1 14th January 2007, 04:27 AM

my art teacher is thinking of having a contest. i can use any medium (acrylic, oil, colr pencil), any picture (obviously no 'bad' ones). the only thing is i can't get help from her...(which sucks XP)

anyways, which ayu picture should i use? i was thinking of using ayu's endless sorrow cover, but i may (not) use it cuz of the buildings in the background (i may cut that out, though XD;;; )

other ideas for drawing pictures:
dearest single cover
for my dear single cover
whatever single unreleased cover
RAINBOW album cover

any other ayu pictures are ok, i guess...(unless they're explicit)

any suggestions?

EDIT: when i mean explicit, i mean no LOVEppears/appears cover, or duty (which would be ok, but it looks weird). Also, no A BALLADS. we gotta consider the fact that there are gonna be little kids at this small contest thing

and since i am still a novice at drawing (w/o anyone helping me of course. i'm better when someone tells me to fix this or that, etc.), i would like something sorta simple and easy, such as the mentioned covers above

ALSO: i need a suggestion by tuesday/wednesday, cuz i'll hafta give the entry in two saturdays from this post

"Explicit" Ayu pictures. That's cute. Like she has any... well, like she has any that we'd ever see.

Maybe the cover for fairyland, or No way to say? & could be cool too, although possibly very hard.

The cover for RAINBOW has potential coolness too, or maybe do SEASONS or something...

hmm...never thought RAINBOW as a potential picture...i'll think about that...

btw, when i mean explicit, i mean no LOVEppears album cover or appears single cover, etc.

How are those things explicit? I mean, if your art teacher is gonna get offended at those pictures, I'd point them in the direction of Lady Godiva and stuff like that.

it's not my art teacher, it's like, there are other kids that are gonna be entering the contest, and they're like...around the 6-10-ish age...and i dun think my teacher'll get a good rep from the 'explicity'...i mean, she sorta had a sorta bad rep from all the times my sister kept crying when she got frustrated (thank god my sister recovered from that, and i think everything's going well now)

haha BLUE BIRD cover.. u will need lots of colours..

Olw---A · #11 14th January 2007, 08:57 AM

B&W => HEAVEN : just simple
colors => BLUE BIRD or Carols (backgrownd) !
dirty => Because Of You CM !
science fiction => Startin' CM

but i think that you can do a very good thing with the Secret covers : using the tatoo and the spark effect

sora2522 · #12 14th January 2007, 05:20 PM

alternarist: me + blue bird = dead XD; yes, it's that hard...
Olw--A: HEAVEN isn't as simple as it looks...
blue bird and carols have too many colors @.@ my hand would tire out...
if you're referring to because of you CM (as in the panasonic lumix cm), then that's not dirty o.o;
startin' is science fiction? and since when did it have a cm?? O.o;;

I'd pick a closer-up pic of her face that shows details on her eyes, lips, nose, etc... her features are big, and not only nice-looking but pretty easy to draw (especially if you use a grid to transfer the image over). The Secret CD+DVD cover wouldn't be difficult, and it would look beautiful. I'd do it mostly black and white but with a few colored pencil accents (like just some flesh-color on the shadowed areas like her neck & around her nose & eyes... brown on her eyes, some gold in her hair, that kind of thing). If you use colored pencil, use Prismacolors (the colorless blender pencil is your friend!!).

Great point

Im bad with colouring, but for drawing use those pencils with soft tips, it will be easier to rub away.

If I'm probably drawing a picture of Ayu, I would chose a picture that was a closeup of her face. In my opinion, I would chose either the Memorial Address, ASFXX, or one of the A Best covers.
