Painted on Nintendo DSPolar bear with cub

Polar bear with cub by otavio

Artist: otavio on 2008-02-09 09:18:45

Polar bears are the coolest animals. I wanted to do a few things with this picture. I wanted to draw something photorealistic since I had never done that. I figured I'd try drawing fur since I had never done that. And I wanted to keep it all inside the replay limit as a fun challenge. Inspired by the polar bear that "Doggy" drew.

TraumaHound on 2008-03-28 15:38:27

I think you went beyond photo-realistic, even watching the playback I just don't know how you did it. Amazing!

This picture is what inspired me to use Colors. I love this picture, it's absolutely amazing. Wow, just wow.

Oliver K. on 2008-11-09 13:39:53

Very very NICE! Very talented!! :D

Ale13 on 2008-11-09 15:57:38

...WOW.. really.. i have no others word to describe it !

Kuschel-Drow on 2008-11-12 08:59:03

Thi is simply perfect. i wish that I was able to draw like this on my DS. Although I'm quite goo at photorealistic stuff using a sheet of paper and a small DS screen is still a fully different thing. ^^" You did a damn great job here! That picture truly deserves the 1st place.

otavio on 2008-11-12 21:25:50

Personally, I think drawing on the DS or in photoshop is way easier than on paper. Paper just seems like a historical technique to me. Too hard to recover when you mess up. But most of my drawing experience is on this DS, so I never even really gave paper a chance. Thanks for the comments everybody. :)

psykojello on 2008-11-24 06:53:14

If I even got to 5 seconds into the video, I'd stop and submit it!! Wow, its beautiful!

Hilary on 2008-12-05 03:37:02

Whoa.......That picture looks so realistic, I can hardly think of it as a painting in the NDS.

Chintoi on 2008-12-12 20:49:17

so much wooooork. limitless stars just because i would never done something like that

Sir on 2008-12-19 06:11:30

I'm calling shenanigans on this painting. It's overly epic.

claire on 2008-12-26 00:42:11

omgosh! Amazing!

frecel on 2008-12-29 07:32:59

Wow, it looks great. But did you notice that the small bear has an evil look? :D

devlpr on 2008-12-29 21:03:55

Nicely done...

mkjtl16 on 2008-12-31 11:01:00

reagan804 on 2009-02-01 19:07:43

How did you do that??

jetboy on 2009-02-01 19:59:24

@reagan804: Do you know you can watch playbacks of most of the paintings posted in the gallery?

reagan804 on 2009-02-01 20:23:17

Jetboy: I know, I meant how did they draw it so good. :)

otavio on 2009-02-02 20:45:55

The hard part was getting those polar bears to hold still while I painted. I almost ran out of tranquilizer darts before I was done.

reagan804 on 2009-02-02 20:56:53

You were looking at real polar bears?

otavio on 2009-02-03 01:53:20

Sorry, I was just kidding about that. I did it while looking at a photo I had found with a google search. I made the reference photo really small, like the size of a stamp and then drew the large scale features, then I made the reference photo bigger so I could refine the details. I tried to get enough detail that there were no obvious brush strokes in the end so it would look like a photo. It took a long time and was even a bit tedious, but I wanted to prove to myself that I could draw something photo-realistic.

reagan804 on 2009-02-03 21:01:02

Cool!

Hoshi101 on 2009-02-08 18:56:26

WOW!!!

Only one word: Perfect!!!

Christia on 2009-04-18 20:13:46

I have looked at your painting like five times and never voted for it because i thought you cheated some how and put an actual photograph in...then it dawned on me...how could you do that...then I thght...why havent i clicked on the playback...you are truly gifted...an amazing artist! I am blown away!

Alucard on 2009-04-20 15:24:35

AMASING, PERFECT, WAVESOME!!! Great job!^^v

deityofanime on 2009-04-24 01:18:52

That's it, I'm quiting art college and joining McDonalds (srsly, I thought I was gifted by I guess on a world wide scale I'm nothing special. You, sir, are a god).

Unbelievable

Eilyn on 2009-06-07 19:41:22

i love it! :) it's so inspiring =)

alan pina on 2009-06-14 16:20:21

And now... the real challenge will be doing another drawing, better than this one!!! dont you agree???

otavio on 2009-06-16 08:55:36

@alan - I don't know if I agree. Although I see why this is the highest rated picture, I don't think it's the best. I did it using a photo as reference, which means there was really no creativity involved. I think the real challenge is to make something creative, efficiently. Copying photos is a good exercise, but I think originality is more interesting.

alan pina on 2009-06-17 20:11:03

Mmm... taking a photo as reference and making it as the real thing is a talent... when i vote in the gallery, I dont care if it was made from imagination or taking a photo as reference... i care if it is god or not... so... thats why i said you have a challenge...making a new one better than the bear, doesnt matter if is copied from a photo or from your imagination... ... I loooove your polar bear, is well done, thats why i voted for it !!!

ColorFanClub1 on 2009-07-13 17:02:09

OMG This is so amaziiiiing!! Perfect Work!

roroboyeitor on 2009-07-23 04:46:05

hey gays, how could i draw or make files with ".drw" extention??

jetboy on 2009-07-23 08:56:53

@roroboyeitor: If you want to draw them you need to use Colors! application which is available for homebrew enabled Nintendo DS or iPhone/iPod Touch. All the info is on this site - try FAQ section.

alicekelly on 2009-07-29 13:04:56

good but give us a clue how you did it.

kasiopeyer on 2009-08-14 15:01:54

Incredible!! And you draw that on a DS?????

Angie.K on 2009-09-03 05:41:44

It's impossible!!! You are the 1

abeshaallan on 2009-09-05 01:49:37
