Drawing Thread

draw lines lol

 

Iceland has been an inspiration for parts of my tracks but I have yet to make anything purely Iceland based. Others are probably better fit for it but the "West Fjords" region is a gorgeous little area to base a track off of.
Maybe I'll consider trying some realism and make a track with a layout similar to what he rides through in the video.

 

Sounds good. It seems like a rather easy track to make, no trees to draw to distract you or anything. All you really need to learn is rocks and moss, and no one has really done moss so you can do anything.

 

Yeah, I'll play around with the idea! I'll post some pics to get opinions on style and whatnot sometime later.

 

Question, Does the blackhat rider creator have the same export codes as freerider does, and how can i use the blackhatrider creator, and if i need an account how can i get one :L

 

Yes, it uses the same track codes as the frhd editor, and it's mostly the same just without the curve tool. I can't say anything else than that. (Trust me you're not missing much.)

 

Thanks silverbird

 

Bhr editor is so much better tho

 

SO much better

 

F1N Backtwice I wish i could use it...

 

Honestly you arent missing out on much lol
mR..A collab starting soon and it will be sick

 

noice, excited to see it. going for a feature???

 

Eh, features are over-hyped honestly. We'll be going for something original and fun, eye pleasing and memorable. If it gets featured then thats an added bonus

 

sounds cool

 

i think you missed the point
we were supposed to go along and say it's sh*t so they don't ask for invites

 

ya

 

Ok lets steer clear of a bhr debate and instead talk detail, yeah?
Some questions Ive always wanted answered:
How did you older users find your style and then refine it?
How did you guys get better at detailing something you werent good at drawing, ie rocks, trees
How do you guys feel about collabs? Do you enjoy working with others or do you prefer working alone? Why?

 

no you must be an overlord and have divine rights passed onto you from the gods

 

How do you bark?

 

I color coded my responses:

I actually took lots of inspiration from Rhino, Nightwish, and Nas back in the day, never copying or posting tracks like it though. Studying their work, among other artists, taught me to crosshatch and define shapes better with minimal use of lines. That combined with years of drawing got me to where I'm at. I'm still improving and am utter sh*t in many realms of art, believe it or not.

Motivation and practice. Study artists you admire, don't copy. Use their techniques. Most artists only share their good work, we're not all gods. I draw horrible stuff all the time, btw.

I've grown to enjoy collabs more than I used to. It honestly depends on the partner. IRL I actually hate collaborating, because unless you really love their work you're likely to be annoyed working with them. I like working alone most of the time, but if I'm not inspired it's nice to be given a canvas that's not blank.
