Description Here we go with my first tutorial
Firs things first, it is vital to read tutorials. As the titles says, this is just about tips and tricks. You can get the technical part ( How to blurr the background and etc. ) from tutorial. Special thanks to her for lending the info
I must add some very important informations before wrapping this up: the first bokeh on the comic is made without any light right on the Cellophane. I just focused on Manaka's face. There was only two lights: the one from my room and the flash. It was more than enough for that style of Cellophane paper ( multi colored and a little transparent, other papers don't work so well. ) to produce the effect.
This is mostly about how i do my backgrounds, and etc.
And now, one very important thing on photography...
Taking photos is like cooking. You can get recipes from other cooks (photographers) and train with it, but the true flavor will come out when you put your spice on the work. So remember: take all the tips and lessons you can, train, and add your style on to it! Like cooks, who uses their own amount of salt and spices on their foods, photographers uses their own amounts of lights and their own styles of poses on their pictures. So, training is essencial. I am a crappy teacher, so i can get as far as tips and tricks, but i hope it can help you all!
Anyways... Enjoy!

Something as simple as cellophane can make the pictures so much better...?! You're a genius!!

Gyahahah, Thanks! Actually any light source far enough from the camera can
make the effect. Xmas lights can do the trick as well, however, i find using
cellophane cheaper and it can be used in multiple ways.

Ooh, cool!
I only have a fake Sakura Miku Nendoroid figma, so I can't really do a lot of good pictures, but this is a great tip anyway!!

Plus, since anime and manga isn't very big in the UK compared to the US and Japan, I can't get anything without ordering it online My dad never does that.

Nossa, nunca pensei que isso fosse papel celofane o.o

Hora de testar com minha Saber nova KKKKKKKK


Muito divertido o tutorial! Espero pelo prΓ³ximo

Martim In reply to xKiiro-me [2013-09-17 17:08:52 +0000 UTC]

Sim, mas Γ© apenas uma versao mais transparente e meio esverdeada. As de cores mais fortes nΓ£o funcionam muito bem
Alias, para um Bokeh mais forte, Γ© preferivel a embalagem de ovo de pΓ‘scoa ou papel alumΓ­nio
muito obrigado, espero que os prΓ³ximos sejam mais uteis
mal espero par aver seu trabalho com a Saber

Martim In reply to morph8 [2013-09-17 01:22:15 +0000 UTC]

Christmas lights would make too much of a mess. Cellophane and Easter eggs packages are more practical
