Kintall-inspired artwork by Abemore
« on: June 01, 2004, 09:56:07 pm »
I am not an artist. I\'ve never drawn anything, but after Kintall\'s amazing art thread I found myself wishing I was.  So, I did a search on drawing tutorials, invested many many hours, and now for the first time ever, here is my art...



...many many hours later, I was finally able to color this scetch...



...and now, my next task (of many many hours) is to shade and highlight.  I\'ll post again when it\'s done. ;)
I\'m actually very proud of myself at this point.

Feedback from the community, especially Kintall, would be great ;)

I see you just coloured the sketch... well thats one way to do it, but not the perfect one ;)
I guess you use photoshop, use the pen-tool, I know its hard to learn, but it will pay off :) That way you will get much better lines.

I like the pict, though there are some odd things in it, like not symmetric, I got the dame problem, it wil get less if you practice more :D And tuts on the net are usually good, you learn alot from them.

I dont want to make a negative post, just some comments, keep up the practice :D I know I will, just ordered me a Wacom Tablet :D:D

Quwaar:
Are you suggesting that I trace all the lines using the mouse and pen-tool?  
I\'m actually using paint shop pro because I\'m too lazy to install that other program.
Thanks for the criticism Quwaar. :)

Quie good for someone who\'s barely ever drawn before. :tup:

*pokes* Time for the ever-present nag: Did you use shapes, lines, etc.. for this sketch?  



Funny though, fanart of fanart, does that make it official art?  :P

woah, woah, what tutorial was that?! :D

J/K Actually I think its quite good. See, if I could draw like that...oh man, I wish. I got Photoshop down, I probably could make some pretty cool stuff, if only I could draw with paper and pencil...

Yeah, I did use a lot of circles.  It was part of the tut.  The first step made her look like a crash test dummy.  I think the circles are the reason it looks as good as it does... I may waste another few hours and trace all the lines as you suggest Quwaar. Thanks.

i think kintall would rather have her w/ more clothes on... :D if you look towards the beggining of his thread in the series of art he did entitled \"because\" then i think you will find some evidence of this :]

right... as soon as I get photoshop back... I kinda deleted it :S... Ill post my first Pen-tool drawing, it was made over the sketch. So you can see how much it sucks in the beginning ;) Not to disencourauge you, but to show you really need to work on it :D
Later on you will surely get better at it, and it really pays of. Just look at euhm... http://www.applegeeks.com (it this an add...sorry admin) everything done with a pen-tool, it so totally rocks :D

okay, killed another 4 hours and did some shading and highlights... the website I was following with the tutorial went down so I had to use Kintall\'s tutorial and guess at what I was supposed to do.



[Edit]finally figured out the line tool... will probably post another version with clean lines.

use the soften brush to sort out the jaggedness in your lines
