SF&F Picture 55 out of 59 by Tom 'Beldarr' Bell.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: SAMPLE

This shows how my process goes with these pencil peices. I draw on Mylar(because I get it for free:), which enables me to do many overlays, changing it many times until I get just the right feel to the drawing. I don't really know when that will be, it just kind of evolves as I go, until at some point I'm rendering. This one here is still in that process (for over six years now). This may not be the best way to draw, and it's very time consuming. But it's not necessarily the finish product I'm looking for, It's the journey the character and I take, on the way to a finished product. I hope this sheds a little more light on any questions you had.

20 Sep 1999	Beldarr (looking guilty)	Loading... This process actually came from tring to draw both fantasy and Arbor drugs on the same board...sooner or later ones gonna show through the other...he he
20 Sep 1999	Aram R. Mayor	Loading... Oh wowie - gonna have to try this. Being an architect I still have access to that kind of paper. Silly me; never thought of this.... Looking forward to seeing the finished piece!!! ...and you got a comment from my goddess here: Pui-Mun Law!! ;o)
22 Dec 1999	Jennie Seay	Loading... Whoa! Mylar! Had I not visited your gallery, I never would have thought of using it! And here I have been using paper and a light table! Mylar! Woo hoo!
8 Mar 2000	Murray W. Cholowsky	Loading... Well...way to go Tom!! You let the secret out and now everyone is going to turn out awesome art works like yours grin Nothing like a little friendly competition among artists...hah..just kidding..thanks for the tip.
6 May 2000	ITs Anneth!! (From cellblock 355 >^=^<)	Loading... busted..finger...ack..cant type...but must.. See the pain you talented ppl put me thru? Ack. hee I just had to comment on this one. I love the twist in thie pose, and her form is really solid--supple and voluptuous, while expressing feminity at the same time, even for a quick rendering. 2 yrs? Wow. And your paper didnt go yellow?? hee Just kidding. Interesting composition and costuming--cant wait for the finished product!
16 Aug 2000	Joe Bornhard	Loading... difficult pose to work with and there's something about this piece that makes it one of my favorites of yours! I haven't seen it and maybe I'm blind, but do you plan on taking this sketch to a final painting? If so I want to hang it on my wall . . . if you don't paint it though I will paint it (maybe in 6 or mor months ! Well I need to get busy . . . good job!
4 Nov 2000	David S. Auer	Loading... Surprisingly enough, this is exactly how I pictured one of Beldarr's works in progress. My questions remain legion, though my confidence is boosted.
14 Apr 2001	Ryan Sanura Reynolds Stickney	Loading... Being the young and inexperienced newbie I am, I have to ask: what is Mylar?
1 Jan 2002	Stan	Loading... Very good start, her thighs are too thin, thing on her hair is not realistic, pose too complicated, consider adding much more detail to the shoes, and the length of the feet, left shoulder does not match the right, the mussels in the right hand not realistic as well as on the right leg, also consider placing on of the feet on the dragon
21 Jul 2002	Jerome Foster	Loading... Also ebig oung and inexperienced...what IS mylar and WHERE can I get this magic potion?!?!
