Description Practicing a new coloring technique! I like it. But it's time-consuming. T___T

Need to draw something besides 3/4 angle faces, too...

But it's nice to draw Oliver again. Especially in his letterman jacket.

Nice! My version of a thumbs up. Any tips for coloring? I'm pretty new for computer/graphic drawing.

Are you using a tablet? If you are, in this picture I colored with the brush tool, the "airbrush soft round" setting. With that setting the stylus pressure controls how dark the color is

Unfortunately, I do not have a tablet as of yet. But I'm hoping to get one for Christmas!Thanks for the tip though! And good job with Oliver, I can definitely see improvement!

Waking up to this on Sunday morning's a pretty damned good way to start your day, I must say. \

This is a pretty nice way to shade - but if it's too time consuming, you might want to save it for major pictures, or find methods of getting similar results with less effort. What did you use for this?

lilmarisa In reply to wanlingnic [2011-10-16 18:22:20 +0000 UTC]

Indeed! I woke up this morning and there he was!

it's actually not that bad, I'm just being whiny. It's similar to how I used to color and shade, anyway, just taking advantage of more tools and settings

reubelyn [2011-10-16 02:51:19 +0000 UTC]

Nice job with the shading You might want to pay a little more attention to the shirt inside
But it looks good anyways and I think you really improved from the Marty and Verne picture

I can only do full front, if I can draw anything at all.

lilmarisa In reply to Freyad-Dryden [2011-10-16 18:06:22 +0000 UTC]

That's funny, since full front sometimes gives me trouble xD I think it's the symmetry involved. I can cheat and be asymmetrical with 3/4 faces.

Freyad-Dryden In reply to lilmarisa [2011-10-16 18:33:39 +0000 UTC]

Actually, the face is slightly asymmetrical. One eye is slightly higher than the other. It improves depth perception, or something. I'd have to look it up again to be sure.

You're getting better at this! Not only on coloring, but lineart as well.

lilmarisa In reply to REV6Pilot [2011-10-16 18:05:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I think part of it is the fact that I'm not using the fill tool to color, so I could make my lines a lot looser. Gave me a lot more freedom. ^^

3/4 faces is like, all I do XD
don't feel bad

the colors are pretty, has a nice painterly-ness to it ^^

lilmarisa In reply to Anon-151 [2011-10-16 18:04:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I used the brush tool (airbrush setting) instead of the fill tool, and shaded directly onto the color layers... I like the painter effect.

I found some good websites to use if you want to get some interesting poses, though! Check it out: [link] it might help you draw something besides 3/4 faces xD I'm certainly gonna give it a try.

wha! this site is awesome thank you so much for showing me this resource!

I can never shade directly on my colors, I like to smudge it around to much ^^ but it looks good here.

not sure this'll help you as much it did me, but this is a tutorial for probably the fastest coloring and shading process I've been able to find yet:[link]
ignore the swearing of the angry angry man doing the tutorial ^^'

3/4 faces are the hard ones, though... (At least for me.) If you've got them down (and you definitely do from the looks of this picture) I don't think you need to worry about the other views. =-)

Nice coloring, too.

lilmarisa In reply to CyMoahk [2011-10-16 02:02:43 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, 3/4 is what I'm used to drawing... and a lot of the more dynamic poses have different views on faces, and those are what's most difficult to me xD

Thanks!

No idea. I want to brush up on my anatomy and figure out some new techniques before I really get going on it.

OK.

I suppose I shouldn't judge. I know I've delayed updates on my stories for weeks because I simply couldn't bother to write anything.
