It might not be the biggest of libraries and I might not be the best with computer artwork,
but I hope you will like and enjoy the sketches I will be posting every once in a while.
So once again welcome, and feel free to look, comment and critique my work.

Requests and Commissions:
Yes, I do take requests and commissions, and if you would like one please feel free to pm me what you would like.
Each person gets 1 free sketch drawing request from me, which I'll pm you the drawing when I'm finished. And sometimes if the request is interesting enough I'll possibly send a secondary sketch. Any further requests for drawings, would be considered a commissions, which will require a payment of $25 at most to $5 the least, depending upon the amount of work required. For further details feel free to send me a message if needed.

^_^ I'll look forward to your comments.

^_^ This picture makes me smile.
It's a simple pencil drawing, I drew this as a joke to my boyfriend and made him into a furry panda bear, after watching Kung Fu Panda with him.
I showed it to him, but he isn't that interested in art as I am, plus I'm pretty sure he ain't a fur, ...though he can be really cuddly at times.
 X3 Mow! I'll post a new pic when I get the chance to scan more work, I so need to get my own scanner and computer.
Damn good machines cost so much and take too much time to set up.  x_x

 XP Hehe... yah he can be that way sometimes, tried making it as close to the real thing as I could, so he'd know it was him I was drawing. Plus he does know a bit of Martial Arts, acts like a bear, and is asian.

 :) Here are three free request sketches I just recently drew up of three members of our forum all for the fun.

Here's a concept picture I drew for Lizzy as the beautiful white rabbit from out of Wonderland. Isn't she just adorable with her pritty dress and crazy awesome hammer.  :3 Hehe....
(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee519/DragoStrega/Lizzyminipic.jpg)

And from out of the shadows I drew this concept for Chealsea Lupawn profile pic. Tried my best to make her look like a more wolfy Inque from Batman Beyond... it's not quite there yet, still need her approval before I go to crazy trying to perfect the idea.
(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee519/DragoStrega/chealsealupawnminipic.jpg)

And here is the dashing prowler Haxor, who I tried making him as cool a kitty as possible in a bored way. That's round about what he asked for...though not quite sure how well I pulled it off.

 X3 Thank you everybody, I'm glad to just see people come to see and enjoy my drawings. I've been kinda stuck in a rout for a while, but it's good to draw again and to see that I haven't lost my touch of it. I'm about to attempt to make a better picture of Chealsea more brutal, fearsom, and more epicly beautiful then the last. I really like the challenge it gives.  XP Squee... Mow.

i have a question....how do you make such nice lines?

all my pencil lines are shaky and sketchy and i smudge the paper with my hand since im left handed! ive always wondered how artists draw clean perfect lines and never smudge the paper....
Title: Re: Drago Strega's Art Library
Post by: Drago Strega on March 09, 2011, 08:08:35 PM
And here is the new picture of Chealsea I did... Had lots of fun and went a bit overboard, but it looks nice.  B)
Tried giving it a clayface, venom/carnage look, to make her fursona more brutal looking.  XD Mow!

XD I'm actually very messy too when I draw, and sometimes get pencil smudges everywhere, but I just spend a long time cleaning the lines after I actually get the lines I want down on the paper first. Plus lines are just a representation of shadows passing over a surface, so if you just expand the lines you can smudge the pencil with your fingers to make the shadows more visible, then just erase what you don't need and darken the lines you do need and presto a semi-clean drawing with shadowing and cleanish lines, cuz most of the mistakes are hidden by the shadows you made. Clever right! Hehe...Mow!

He actually put it up as his new avatar. I really have to sit down and color these drawings in though, and I'll attempt to use photoshop though that might take forever. Sadness...

I usually do first request free, and anymore after that will be priced according to the request at most $25 for a full-bodied subject with color to like $5 face shots. The first free request is basically like sample art, which is usually a pencil drawing of whatever you want. Like what I've been displaying mostly. And sometimes if I like the request and if I have the time to spare, I might throw in another drawing for free afterwards simply because I like drawing  interesting things.
