Description hey! it's a tutorial! really, when I thought of making a tutorial I thought of making one for how I color since a lot of people have asked me how I do that, but then I thought maybe I should start at the beginning of my method. So here's PART ONE of my tutorial, how I make digital sketches and ink in openCanvas 1.1. soon as I finish inking this sucker I'll get started on PART TWO, my coloring one, which is bound to be longer and crazier and it'll take me a few days. >_o

err, I hope this actually helps somebody. ; ^ ;

thanks to *zambi and ~MysticFaerie , who were the ones to teach me that brush. ; O;

EDIT: the color version is complete. see it HERE . and the actual picture is done, too, and can be found HERE .

very belatedly, I hope it does! I find that of drawing programs, openCanvas's drawing curve isn't as nasty as some programs'. good luck~

I had given up on OC a looong time ago because I could never figure out most of the settings, or how to do this or that, but seeing this tutorial makes me want to give it another shot. Your art is also so soft looking, line wise, and makes me tear out my hair trying to figure out how it is done. NOW I KNOW! Danke. Maybe I will actually -finish- a digitial picture for the first time in a googleplex.

good grief, it took me forever to get back to this comment. X_X (I'm sifting through devmessages right now.) anyway, I'm reallyreally happy this inspired you to give it another try, and I hope in ALL THIS TIME since you commented (T__T) you actually did! oC is such a lovely lovely program once you learn it real good. ;D

and thanks for ing my tutorials, too. ;3;

bawhaw, I hope this came in handy for you then. XD I use oC out of necessity since I don't have photoshop. I bet if I tried to use PS I'd be in the same impatience boat, even seeing what lovely things come out of it. :T

YES! I hate linearting digitally. But you do the detailled lines pretty much how I do them in PaintBBS.

A thing about shoes; when there's a heel, the toes start bending up. Yours lack a little bit of bend here, I think.

horribletak In reply to tigr3ss [2005-12-28 03:02:57 +0000 UTC]

yeah, this is basically how I do lines in PaintBBS too. XD I just can't get used to doing them any other way.

per the boot, it's a rough sketch. I didn't put much detail or work in when I got below the hips.

MysticFaerie [2005-12-27 18:49:17 +0000 UTC]

yay for tutorials! jeez your inking is so precise...I could never stand to use that tiny brush, I just use the funky one all the time (which I discovered quite by accident ) I can't wait to see the coloring one...you have so much patience! @_@

horribletak In reply to MysticFaerie [2005-12-27 19:15:39 +0000 UTC]

it is very possible I am too patient for my own good.. >_>

anyway, thanks for stumbling onto that brush, 'cause I use it CONSTANTLY now and it's the biggest life saver ever. XD my lines have gotten so much better! color tutorial is on the way, but it may take, like .. a week or something.. >_o crazy holiday season.
