I love art, and I LOVE the creek- what better way to celebrate both, than by making a place where fans, like me, can post their dedication to the inspiration NC provides its fans! So, for starters, I'll post some of my stuff. Can't WAIT to see what you all have put together, cuz I know mine won't be half as good as most of yours, but sharing and viewing others' creativity is awesome!

Always Listen,

:ohere is my contribution.. its just a scribble on a piece of notebook paper. its a drawing of a picture i took at a concert. and yes, i know there are no faces. and loubou GREAT DRAWING and great thread idea!
EDIT: i draw a lot during school, and maybe i'll do another by the end of the week to put on here
EDIT EDIT: loubou, what did u use to draw that? pencils? im so interested in art.. especially pencils and watercolors and paint, even tho i used crayons for my drawing! lol
EDIT EDIT EDIT: you cant really tell in the pic cuz its' blurry, but in the actual drawing chris' hair is kinda flipped out from his face.. its not a big yellow afro

way to be modest! ;) j/t
i'd love to see some of your work... anything has to be better than mine...

mastermandolin

11-06-2003, 08:12 AM

It's not really being modest, it's getting compliments from other people that makes my artwork. I try to go for photorealistic artwork, or a close approximation to it. I'll try to bring some pieces online next week. What is the recommended image size for stuff like that on here?

obsessedwithNC

11-06-2003, 04:24 PM

WHOAA no way.. my aunts friend does photorealistic stuff and its incredible!! u MUST show it!!

11-18-2003, 05:18 PM

We are drawing/paiting portraits of people in art class, our project is to draw a portrait of anyone, I am thinking of doing Chris:D . I can't wait to do it and I am really excited, maybe I'll post it when I am done:)

banjochickie

12-16-2003, 05:46 PM

^ funny story about that one... at the end of class, the girl who was sitting behind me comes up and asks me, Hey are you drawing that guy from Nickel Creek? which made me grin :D 'cause 1, that meant my doodle was halfway decent (LOL) and 2, YAY another fan! :D *hehe*

obsessedwithNC

12-16-2003, 06:38 PM

wow! i like the This Side girl scribble best. :p .. i doodle in math class but it'd be really hard for me to scan my whole book cover LOL! and wow again.. there are people at your school that know of nickel creek?!? ur drawing is not only halfway decent, it's very good!
i put my stupid cartoony pic up here because i like people to .. ermm... comment/critique (is that the right word? or should it be criticize?) my work so that i can get better cuz i draw like a fifth grader. :rolleyes:

scarlett_fox

12-19-2003, 12:59 PM

Wow! those are pretty good for doodles! Pretty much everything in my sketchbook is a doodle, but my stuff turns out really cool when I am not thinking about drawing. By the way, I finished my painting for art class....I'll post it as soon as I get it back.

loubou2

12-19-2003, 04:06 PM

WOWIE!!

Banjochickie- super cool! I could tell the Chris one was from the album, and the other of the lil' girl is adorable and has so much likeness!!
Keep it up girlfriend!

ObsessedWithNC-
hey, I could never criticize your work- mine is so far from perfect- who am I to say what's good or bad! But a tool I ALWAYS remember when draeing: draw what you SEE not what you THINK you see. for instance: if the eyes look dark and disappear int he shadows of ythe face, make it that way! its a way to train your artistic judement to focus on what's really there and what your mind wants to create. :D sorry...all that was probably jibberish

Day-
feel free to print out any of my pics- I'm happy to share my stuff, and to spread the Creek is icing on the cake!

scarlettfox- I can't wait to see your work and hope you enjoy sharing it with us!!

I'm SOOOO pleased this thread has become such a recipe full of everyone's creative ideas and talents!

ncluver is that your signature in the bottom left of the pic? thats very cool! lol
good drawing btw, and i love that bottom one of sara!

NCLuver333

12-24-2003, 01:58 PM

Yeah...the little C*... It's C-Star cuz I love the ocean, and astonomy too! So I just incorporated the C for Christy and the star.
Thanks...the bottom one is my fav...but something about the proportion of the lips to the nose looks wrong.:rolleyes: I need a little practice.

loubou2

01-05-2004, 07:17 PM

It' s a LITTLE unrelated, but Nickel Creek inspired it. It's a paintinf I made in art class of my mando baby, mius the AWESOME Chris siggy!!

NCLuver333

01-05-2004, 09:09 PM

Wow...that is really cool. It has a sort of abstract look to it, and I like it. That's an awesome painting!:D

obsessedwithNC

01-06-2004, 09:33 AM

That's really great! I'm working on another drawing, (this time it's actually good and lifelike with faces) but it's done in pencil and it's SOoo light it doesn't show up when I scan it. :o

Here's my latest. We had to pick an artist again in my art class and I picked Picasso's Girl With a Mandolin and made it my own with Chris.

obsessedwithNC

03-02-2004, 11:10 AM

Gee whiz! That is the most coolest picture I have ever seen! I absolutely LOVE it! .. AHH! .. We're doing self-portraits in my art class now. :( I wanna draw Nickel Creek

What did you use? Pencils, watercolors? I can't tell but it looks incredible

lovedixie42

03-02-2004, 11:58 AM

Thanks! That one is the one I did in watercolors but I also did the same picture in pencil and color pencils.

loubou2

03-02-2004, 07:51 PM

wow there!!! lol....Wow again!!! hehehe. Girl, I REALLY like that. I really enjoy the cubism mixed with watercoler and the neat colors!! great job, and it's got a great vibe. keep it up- you've inspired me!

Always Listen,
Jamee

mastermandolin

03-03-2004, 08:12 AM

Wow, awesome drawing. I love the Cubism era. If you ever want to get intomore of a style like that, check out Wassily Kandisky or Paul Klee. One piece of late advice though, I would've made the mandolin more boxier lookin', you know, being an artist and all and a fan of Picasso.

lovedixie42

03-03-2004, 02:06 PM

Thanks. I did a Paul Klee one last year with NC, but it was really bad. I watercolored several areas then went over all of it with a black crayon and then scraped off the design I wanted. It was fun. I thought about making the mando boxier but since in Picasso's Girl with a Mandolin it was sorta rounded I decided to do most of Chris' mando rounded. Kandinsky sounds familier but I havn't done any of his work.

Hey asilittle, did you draw that or use a computer program? Looks neat...

mastermandolin

04-01-2004, 03:58 PM

Looks to me like beginners course in Adobe Illustrator, Freehand or Corel Draw. Which one of these am I right on?. 'Cause I know most of these programs you can do the gradient on, which you can do the whole shading effect on.

asillittle

04-01-2004, 05:38 PM

It was done in Illustrator (a beginner's course in Computer Graphics) but I don't think I used any gradient for it, we were learning about Mesh at that time.

aw all of you guys are so great! i mean it! i could NEVER do that! i really wanna be able to draw and stuff but i'm pretty bad and dont have that much patience. and, unfortunately, i suck at drawing people. i always get the face all wrong, if not something else. i'm pretty good if i'm looking directly at what i'm drawing tho....like those of you who are awesome and like homestarrunner (dont worry the rest of you are still awesome) i have this wonderful picture i drew of the cheat. its great. so you could say i have talent i guess but i cant draw stuff well from memory unless its something like a cow or something...idk.
