This is related to the article I Can Draw!

But feel free to just comment on the question:

Do you ever just draw shit?

You captured my good side.

I used to. Being an art student and all. I wrote a webcomic for a few years. But this last year I've been dealing with shit and didn't feel like drawing.

Now I am pissed every time I try. Razz

I do it all the time. I also have a tablet, but I alternate between tablet and paper/pencil. Then again, it's what I do for work, but regardless I think I got good at drawing by just drawing whatever all the time. For somebody who's just messing around your pretty decent. If you wanted to get serious about it, I see potential,

Dude, I'm all about the drawing. I didn't have a T.V. when I was little so I just drew shit all the time. I'd like to think I'm pretty good, why don't you guys tell me?

I like to draw stupid little cartoons on occasion. I also just like to draw random stuff.

I make pencil sketches occasionally. But, I spend hours on them and never finish.

I draw alot when I have nothing to do, it can go from recognizable stuff like Shao Kahn or Stimpy to stuff I made up like my original characters.

I used to be an graphic arts major, but realized that I don't enjoy making art as much as I used to. Yes, I can draw well, I'll have to upload some of my stuff soon.

I'm a Visual Arts student. So I can draw, photographitize, sculpt, print, and paint pretty durned good!!!

I go out with my parents on occasion to this restaurant that uses these paper place mats. I always draw these silly cartoons on them that feature my parents' Bassest Hounds talking to each other while a bunch of random stuff goes on around them. Sometimes they just talk to each other, sometimes they talk to each other and other characters I put in these cartoons.

I get to stare at naked chicks, draw pictures of them, and call it an education.

Ha! your conveniently leaving out the part where you occasionally have to draw naked dudes. Though seriously, figure drawing was the single most useful class for improving structural skill.

haha goo call Burt. I've actually been very lucky, because the one male model we'd have used to bring in wicked shit like swords (which must've made him nervous), and he'd strike these wicked poses so we could focus on his muscles and shit instead of his wang.

I'm an artist as well. I have a DeviantART profile.

What do you do for work Burt?

Graphic Desginer. I do mostly flyers, brochures, books, and unfortunately forms sometimes. It's more design heavy, but I get to do a lot of original artwork too.
I occasionally do websites as well. For instance we sponsored a local haunted house deally last Halloween, and I did a lot of the artwork for it. I didn't do the layout on that one however, just the artwork.
If you want to check out some stuff i did, here's a link to my myspace stuff. (I need to update, I have a lot more work I need to put up.)

I haevn't talked to the actual guy that's designing the games, just someone my Mom works with that's friends with him. The game is an idea two years in the making, so you might see it some day, but it doesn't have a set date on it. I wouldn't get paid becuase the guy is trying to sell the books at about $5 (most RPG books go for around $30). But whatever, its not like I need money, my work would be "out there", and I could put it on a resume or something.
