Drippy's Drippings

[on:]

What started as an attempt to cover the cheap wood of Addie's tacky computer desk grew into more of a hobby:  Drawing Futurama characters on computer paper.

These are two drawings I did today.  Keep in mind I don't claim to be an artist, and the only art class I've ever taken was in 8th grade.  And it was required.   

Leela Monochrome

What I used for this was basically a crayon, but the lead is skinnier and is in the form of something like a mechanical pencil.

Leela Messtecce

I've officially named this brand of my drawings as "Messtecce", being a slurred combination of "messy" and "sticky".  What I used was a sketching pencil and then oil pastels, which are very messy.  I used my fingers to smudge the oil around to get a messy effect.  It gives it a sloppy quality that I like.  I drew the monochrome first but decided I wanted one with color so I traced a few base lines from the monochrome onto another piece of paper.

I've made 3 other drawings so far, including a 5ftx5ft oil pastel version of Fry and Leela's kiss at the end of the series finale, that was very messy and I had to use the pool table downstairs for a drawing board.  Took about 5 hours to do.  I'll have pictures of that and the other two up soon and along with whatever else I draw.

Hmm, that's a lot of bla-bla-bla for 2 drawings... oh well.  Hope you enjoy

Hyperbole makes things sound a billion times worse than they actually are!

Great pics Travis

Thank you sir, that's exactly what I was going for.

Thank you too, Marge'n'Fred.

Awesome pics, Travis. Just remember, though, your thread title leaves yourself open for lots of "these drippings look like shit" comments.

I like Me-sticky.  May you make Me-sticky forever!

[Reply #7 on:]

That's pretty darn excellent, drips. Great pictures.

Though it looks like Leela has a moustache in the monochrome one.

I especially like the second one, good work!

From this day forth I shall do so whenever possible.

Haha yeah I know, when I was drawing it I couldn't help but think I had made her look a little too man-ish.

The thread title sounds appetizing...

[Reply #11 on:]

They're nice, Drippy. I sometimes draw in that fashion, what it's called I dunno. Looking forward to more.

[Reply #12 on:]

I was thinking they were called "Staccato" or is it "Stacatto" strokes, after the type of music beat that is short and sharp.  Of course I think a lot of things...

[Reply #13 on:]

Well,DT.  I didn't know you had it in you.  A rather unique concept.  Good work.  Do the drippings come with serviettes?
