Yes definitly. You have got the colors down, and your shape is getting better and better. Keep it up. You are making good progress.

I want to try and draw it and not lose any of the detail.. :)

You could try drawing it at 1:1.

I do all of my drawings at 1:1 in MSPaint. If they come out too fat(Like my first ESB), I then resize the width in Photoshop, and then try to clean up anything it made look less detailed.

I used to add clouds/sun-glare in MSPaint(The last drawings I did entirely in MSPaint was The Chrysler Building and Woolworth), but it just got too time consuming...so I do that in Photoshop now.

You don't need a fancy program to make a nice drawing though. The last diagram I did completely in MSPaint was this:

Of course it's better. He's had a lot more practice than you've had.

Practice? Once I get a new telephone cord, we'll see who had more practice... :)

I have a brand new drawing of the Empire State Building but due to the telephone cord incident, I cannot show it to you until I get one. It's better than my recent one....way better. Believe me!

What does a telephone cord have to do with anything?

Buck
Sep 24, 2003, 7:51 PM
Yes, what does it? :???:

Maybe he's on the forum using a distant computer and his home computer's phone cord it messed up. There's a variety of things that could have happened. It's not that surprising, guys.

Buck

Usually phone cords aren't the problem and aren't hard to get a hold of...

We're not dumb.

I see what you're saying. I'm just saying give the guy a break. Obviously there's something wrong and he can't show us the diagram just yet.

You'll be able to see it tomorrow, I got the cord on the way now. The reason I bought the telephone cord up is because the old phone cord was 'cut'. This telephone cord goes to my computer which has MS Paint. Without the telephone cord, I cannot show you my latest drawing.

Buck

Lilton- I wasn't giving him a hard time, I was just wondering what was the matter.

Ryan- I'll look forward to seeing it. :)

This isn't in the diagram yet but this is full size:

That looks terrific, Ryan!! The base doesn't really match the rest of the building.

That is your best yet! :)

Oh yeah, oh yeah! Who's the man? Who's the man? lmao

Just kidding, thanks Buck. Was I wrong about the drawing?

LMich
Sep 25, 2003, 7:14 PM
Man, you're getting better at this very quickly. Your drawings have improved greatly! But there is still work to do. :)

RyanHayes1984
Sep 25, 2003, 7:54 PM
Like what?

LMich
Sep 25, 2003, 7:58 PM
Well, until it looks like Damiens or Cliffs, there will always be work to do. :)

Add some more detail. Work on the entrances. You know, little touch ups.

Tony
Sep 25, 2003, 8:54 PM
So that's it eh? We've declared Damien's & Cliff's as the pinnacles, the absolute summit of ESB diagramming right? :)






... I agree!
