Description I've received a couple of notes telling me my link to the Tsunade tutorial wasn't working. stupid BloggerDOTcom.

Anyhow, here it is. I'm taking it down in a couple of days so feel free to download it for your own reference, not for you to post elsewhere while it's here.

---

Let me just say this:

• This isn't a photomanipulation, even if some like to think that it is. I just started off with a picture as my guide. Eventually (after painfully painting on the lips), I deleted the picture layer to make sure it's 100% painted. So, I'd like to see it as using the picture as sort of like my line art because I didn't EDIT it, I painted over it thouroughly.

• You'll find a lot of typos but I am too lazy to edit it so don't mind them.

• I forgot to mention that I also used textured brushes from *EraserX in her eyes, lips and parts of the face to make it look less flat. I used *EraserX 's brush too for the hair.

• Note that this technique wasn't used for the Sooshee and Taho artworks. But it was used in the Lorelei artwork, which you'll see in my gallery.

A ref indeed, I remember before, that if you want to get accurate reference of a person is to look infront of a mirror or if you are having trouble drawing a hand, just look at your own hand. Nice work by the way^_^

ladyfish In reply to KimFox [2008-07-15 01:18:57 +0000 UTC]

you mean what brush? I use a hard brush that works well with pen pressure.
if you mean color, I use a yellowish tone because it looks more natural than flesh tones.

ladyfish In reply to neji-hinata [2008-07-11 10:57:02 +0000 UTC]

well no.

but she doesn't want me playing any horror stuff.

There was this one time, when we were shopping at Best Buy at Florida, I saw this Resident Evil PS2 DVD. I got it off the shelf and proceeded to check-out. Then to my absolute horror, she declairs: "Put that back! Can't you see? It says EVIL! That can't be good for you!" then I said (while the cashier people were watching us in complete astonishment while obviously trying hard not to laugh): "no, ma, they're just zombies!"

Then she says (and this time I hear the girls at the counter giggling): "Ayoko ng zombie-zombie!"

o my gawrsh I thought I was going to die of shame!!!
