I guess I am supposed to make another thread...more art.

[Avengardh]

I added to my previous post...but I doubt anyone realized that I linked some more art in there...lol.

Some are sketches:

http://www.karito.net/Art/Tree.jpg
This tree was inspired by another tree-branch I observed as I was sitting accross my College's cafeteria...

http://www.karito.net/images.htm
Yes, the first one is just a sketch while I was taking Calc II, back in the day, and yes, those are my Calc II notes


Some are drawings:

That last one isn't really visible, but it's a dragon.

http://www.karito.net/Art/Ave.jpg
I like this one the best...aside from the tree.

http://www.karito.net/Yo.htm
I drew this while I was talking to someone I once loved.

It's not a scan because I didn't have a scanner back then, so they are photos, excuse the poor quality. It's pen on orange paper.

Very beautiful. I like the Ave one the most. What does the name "Ave" mean? My first guess is Ave Maria Purisima, but it looks like a bird thingie to me. o_o

One of the things I was afraid of after first reading my MBTI/kiersey/whatever profile was INTP's not being good at art. There is the stereotype that there are intelligent scientists and there are air-headed artists. However, I later found a list of recommended careers for INTP's, and one of the careers was "fine artist." So I am happy. I recently bought "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." By any chance, are you familiar with the right-/left-brained theory on drawing? If so, do you have any observations about it?

Ave is Spanish for "bird". I think this also correlates to the Latin of it, same word I believe (Biology-peeps, am I right here?) but I recall it having to do with families (like mushrooms are from the fungi family, I think...).


I'm not really familiar with that theory because I know I heard it somewhere and I forgot it (probably from my drawing teacher, I tuned out some of the things she said sometimes...), but doesn't it have something to do with how you perceive art?

And thanks for the comments.

Yeah, yeah. Except, it is more like how you see anything. Beginning artists tend to see symbols in what they are drawing. So if they are trying to draw a face, they draw the "eye" and "nose" etc. symbols that they have in their head instead of drawing what is right in front of them. To move away from this symbolic stuff, artists do the vace/faces, upside-down, and hand wrinkle drawings.

Anyway, yeah. I don't mean to derail your thread. :D

Yup. Birds are in Class Aves.

I think I know what you're talking about. I think I ran across an article on the internet about this before with a sample drawing and I tried it out, one normally and one upside down and the way the article said to do this. I have the drawings already scanned somewhere on my computer, I'll see if I can find them.
