Talk:Chris and art

To do

• ED had, somewhere or sometime or somehow, copies of the drawings that Chris traced to produce the Rosechu "self-centerfolds". Please add them - good examples of exactly how he traces poses and stuff.
  • I would but I'm not saving that shit to this computer...here are the pictures anyway if there's someone less squeamish who is willing to do it. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] --James Lamp-Eye 23:28, 7 October 2009 (CEST)

Something tells me that Chris never gives a jack about using the basic shapes. Has he ever picked up a how-to-draw book in his life?

Methinks he either hasn't, or that the most advanced he ever had were along the lines of "How to Draw Sonic the Hedgehog." I've heard the style described as "colored-in outlines," common among rank amateurs. Rather than blocking out anatomy, they just draw a rough outline of what the character is shaped like, creating a gruesome mess. Ensign disposable 22:44, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

Finally, a new analysis page I can get into! I added a bit about how it appears he does no practice or sketching. I actually think that's the main reason his drawings are so terrible. He DOES show some improvement over time, which indicates the capacity for it... but he's so lazy that he won't put in the effort to make use of it. Nearly anyone Everyone who can draw worth a damn has a hundred hideous sketches for every good drawing (Trust me, as a drawfag and former psuedo-art-student, I know all too well.). As Chuck Jones said, everyone's got a hundred thousand bad drawings in 'em. Chris is just too lazy to get them out. - Needlepants 02:38, 4 October 2009 (CEST)

First Known Drawing

That picture of Sonic was from when he was FIFTEEN?! Holy shit! I thought that was EARLIER THAN THAT! That looks like an 9-10 year old drew that! Not that his artwork has improved that much, but JESUS! --Blazer 19:00, 22 September 2009 (CEST)

• I'm guessing it's a joke, but you'd be surprised... --Champthom 01:22, 8 October 2009 (CEST)

• Just thought of something - Sonic didn't come out until 1991. This means Chris must have been at least 9 when he made that. Still shitty art for a 9 year old. --Champthom 01:28, 8 October 2009 (CEST)

• Eh, if it were drawn when he was nine, it's not that bad. If it were indeed drawn when he was 15, then holy crap. - Needlepants 19:06, 25 October 2009 (CET)

I'd like to see a source on that- not that I think it's impossible, but just to be sure. He was definitely at least nine, though, since that's when Sonic first came out. Pugs Malone 19:46, 22 September 2009 (CEST)
