Description Previous one was moved to scraps.

It's true- my teeth aren't very white. They're not particularly yellow (O__O what am I talking about?) either. They're not gross. The point is, I'm trying to put as much of my traits in this picture as possible, because (even though this is my avatar) it does not look like me at all.

I'm getting very proud of this one. I really like the hair color. : 3
I have to find a way to keep the coloring of the clothes interesting- when I color clothes they usually look bland and pillow-shaded. I'm going to try to put some texture into this one. Maybe crosshatching near the arms?

I'm still not sure what to do for the background. I was thinking dark red, but the jacket is dark read and the other items are brownish. It would be too monochromatic.

I love the line variation How d'ya do it? It looks really smooth and cool.

I think this one would look good with a mixture of cell and soft shading...like, smoothen out some of the shading where it wouldn;t be as solid. It would look really cool :3 Ansd cross hatching sounds fab

I'm not good with backgrounds, so I can't really help there But I find that sometimes just drawing a solid circle somewhere behind the pic and colouring that in looks cool...like, a medium-sized circle somewhere behing the character....but that's the lazt way out ;3

You have a moustache? 0.o

Thanks. : D
The line variation is from a tutorial that I linked to in that Fargo picture- let me get it: [link]
It really helps.

Alright, I'll do that! Sounds like a really cool idea.

Hey, I am lazy. ;D
I'll see how it looks. Any ideas for color?

Well... I'm questing for one on Gaia. >__>
So my avatar will have one... Eventually.

I think blue would make the red stand out A dark blue. And you could do random stas in it *has just been watching her brother play Lego StarWars on the XBox*

That tutorial is awesome, I'm gonna try it on PSP

I don't know how PSP works... But can't you just stroke the pen tool like normal, and then taper the ends with the eraser?
