The Energon Pub

took me about an hour and a half, but here it is. The first Transformer I have ever drawn.


All feedback is welcome.

not to bad the sections seem off in areas but the detail work is good

I just noticed I left some of the detail off the left arm which should make it look more proportionate. The left hand is a bit smaller than the right also.

try a pose Which you can really play with thats what i always do then you get used to the Sections and Sizes better

ditto. plus don't be too tight with your drawing. Keep construction lines etc as it adds a relly nice effect to the drawing

long time no see Divebomb

Why yes young evillratbat, long time indeed!

I've spent the last year becoming a teacher, now with a holiday like easter I get a chance to catch up on things!

I wanna be a teacher hopefully when i move may train if not will just work more in shipping in general. as long as it plays well and helps my hobby

What do you mean by construction lines etc?

I'm guessing like the base of the drawing. Like stickmen but then you add details to it, like making the eyes at half the level of the face line.

That's part of it. Construction lines are basically all the initial lines you'd use to establish proportions, perspective and such.

That's what it is. I have problems explaining things to people in words . I have to show them and stuff

I've never tried it that way before. I've been drawing things since I was like 6 and all I ever do is start at one side of the object and draw until I have half comeplete, usually the left. Then I look off of the left side and draw the right. I will definetely try your way. Thanks

rodimus i did a quick sketch i say quick i had 5 minutes will post later just to give an Idea of What you could do with the Drawing to add Something

Did you post the sketch? I couldn't find one.

sorry man was mailes away sorting out otherthings i forgot to post the pic will scan it in a bit For you its just a round in what could be done



as i said its just rough generally as a idea on a pose that may work for him

Dude that's nice! I feel like a proud papa. I know you only spent 5 minutes on it, but it's the first time anyone has even stopped long enough to draw one of my characters. Thanks and I see what you mean. My problem is the free time. I have about 1 hour of free time every other day and I type slow so that leaves about 5 minutes a day for kitbashing and art. My bashing is killing my brain. Alt Gestalt Defensor is harder than I originally thought, a Rodimus I'm doing is taking to long, Lord Saber is waiting for paint, I melted Arcee's head, boxes for my favs are in the works, blah blah etc etc etc. Maybe after my second kid is born in Sept, or maybe after I finish learning to play the Guitar I bought 3 years ago, or complete the bathroom remodel I started 4 years ago, and turn the Transformer Den into a little girls room, or fix the leaky roof, or ........

lol! i know how you feel i am working 9-5:30 pm monday to fridaye got 3 kids uner my wings learnt guitar ages ago and drums.

My fav guitar so far is my Les paul 2: my V and third my crafter its like a weird Mockingbird

i just just aside what ever time i Get at the moment

Mine's the Bronze Mockingbird. It's sweet. IMO
