Yay, a special edition of the "Sexy Art God" satire tutorial series!

This tutorial is about tracing, and the awesomeness of tracing.

Who knows, I might do one on paint-overs next!

I pity all poor souls who view this with dialup. Unless they're getting a snack or buying something cool while it loads. Then you get no pity from me, and possibly sentence fragments.

Anyway, enjoy!

Snowglobe boobs sold separately, and no crayons were harmed in the making of this comic-like thing.

Mhm, I wish I could trace, my sketches that is... I can't seem to make neat lineart for myself :/

Glittercandy In reply to Neechole [2012-11-15 20:11:10 +0000 UTC]

It just takes a lot of practice. Try to draw from your elbow (as in using your whole arm) instead of your wrist. It takes a bit of getting used to, but the lines will be better and more fluid.

Neechole In reply to Glittercandy [2012-11-16 12:37:19 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the tip! I'll take it into consideration when trying to draw lineart in future.
