Description Nestly: ARRRUUKAPHLOOFGHFGH.

That's why I don't make tutorials. 8D

They. Take. So. Freakin'. Long.

That's because I go way overboard. Yeah I know.

Hope you enjoy nonetheless!
(And I will seriously try to get a lineart, hair, and cloud tutorial up as well some time.)

(And sorry for the spelling/grammar mistakes.)

Do a grass tutorial! DO IT DO IT DO IT.
Yaay, you feenished :3 I wondered what you were doing with this. Ugh this brings back memories of the tutorial that I did that one time D: EW.
Well at least this one is better than the eye tutorial rite? 8D Look at those favs come rolling in!
I do really like the tree though ;D Your trees kick ass, even if they are really detailed and take you forever. That's what makes them cool instead of just toothpicks with leaf balls on the end!
...Hi Deku :3

...WTF DO EPHIDELL AND MHIROU HAVE TO DO WITH DRAWING TREES. XD Happy little Nestly showing you what to do! Happy little Nestly holding a tablet pen! Happy owl! Random pissed off Mhirou chasing Ephidell!

MILES AND POPPY SITTING IN A TREE.
F-A-L-L-I-N-G.

Nestly: What tutorial did you do again? XD All I can remember is that you used Glowy.. I think.

Pffft, believe it or not, that darn eye tutorial has a crapload more favorites then this one has.

Thanks. <3 Now you need to try some sometime! 83

LOL I DUNNO. 8D But it's funny. And I felt like drawing Ephidell being stupid.

OH NOW THAT'S JUST MEAN. 8(

This is awesome! O_O Definitely gonna use it, it'll be really helpful. =3

Never thought of using multiply like that. My program doesn't let me remove or put anything below the canvas layer... I've only used it when I've accidentally put lineart or color on the bottom layer. xD;

Lolz, the way you've got Willow she looks like she's diving from a higher branch onto Deku's head. xDD *loves the look on Deku's face* 8D SOCUTE.

Nestly: Oh yeah? o.o What program do you use again Ginny? PSP? You should try SAI. ;3

She's gonna bite him. D8 I swear... sibling fights, pretty much. They're going at it right now as I speak. GUYS! D8< *marches over*

Painter 8- that's really the only annoying thing about it, otherwise it's a great program. And I tried getting Sai... I think a couple months ago but it wouldn't let me download. xD; *goes off to try again*

Aww. xD They do that often? o:

Allllll the time. xD

Aye! XD I need to practice drawing more things besides humans/anthros. O3o; And especially because trees are so important in backgrounds.

Centch: Lawl! Happy computer! 8D *commenting on all the random doodles*
Your dorky scientist quad-self makes me laugh. xD "It looks more like a cloud smiting someone with a huge lightening bolt."
Ah!... Random Miles and Poppy sitting in a tree. That's funny. Miles is going to fall off. xD
AH!... Color pallets… My worst enemy. You use a lighter color when shading? I… Never would have thought of that. I always use a darker one. >_o;
I love that sun and… What the flip!? AH! Random Ephidell and Mhirou scribble! Oh my gosh! I freakin' love Ephidell there. What a dork. xD
Wow… Now look at that tree! What a beaut! *whistles* I actually READ everything and it was very helpful! I am now more confident and making trees! Thank you! xD
And aww. Poor little Deku and butt-bid Willow. That's adorable and such a nice addition to the finished product. Yay! 8D
Now you totally have to make a hair tutorial 'cause I suck at hair! Though even though I love the way you color hair, that's NOT what I have trouble with. How do you make your hair all nice and flowy and realistic? Unlike mine where it looks as stiff as a rock and NEVER changes its position! HVJCMKXCNV! D;

Nestly In reply to Centchi [2008-04-18 20:52:42 +0000 UTC]

Nestly: It totally DOES. xD Just look at it!

Miles is going to fall off for being too adventurous, crack his head open at the age of 12, and from then on be a wussy dork who reads all day and never attempts anything dangerous! ....lawl.

Yeah. XD I notice what you do... you basically do the same thing I do, but you use darker tones and lower the opacity. But that just makes things more complicated for me, so I just use lighter tones; then I don't have to bother with all that opacity junk.

Ephidell's a moron. -w-

Yeah. XD I'm telling you. Willow is like a big, selfish brat sister, and Deku is the poor adorable little brother who gets tormented by her and keeps getting all his toys stolen. ):

WELL IN THAT CASE I'M NOT GOING TO BECAUSE YOU ARE REALLY AWESOME AT HAIR. >8(

But I will try to do that soon. XD

Centch: I AM and it DOES! xD

What the HELL Nestly!? That's HORRIBLE. That didn't really happen did it? Sending poor little Miles into the hospital. You're EVIL. xD

Huh... I never thought of doing it that way. Wow... Though I suck at picking my own colors so I'll just stick to my method. Seems to work for me anyway.
He sure looks that way. xD

AWW! Poor Deku! ;3;

LIES! LIES! IT'S ALL LIES! ;3;

You better! >D

8D; I THINK I CAN DO THAT..
Even if I don't have SAI and HELL I DON'T EVEN HAVE A HAPPY COMPUTER.
...But I'll still do it c':

xD Anyway, thank you so much for making this Nestly! ;w; I have so much trouble drawing trees right, its not funny. 8D;;
One question though, does an Overlay layer in photoshop work the same as a Additive layer in SAI? D:



...AND WALLABIES DON'T HANG IN TREES. PFFFTT.

Nestly In reply to cidite [2008-04-18 20:45:10 +0000 UTC]

Nestly: YOU CAN DO EET! 8D

Awwww. XD You should try SAI out! Unless you have a Mac. 8(

Awwww, trees are fun once you get the hang of them! XD Seriously, you just can't go wrong with 'em.
UM. Ah jeeze, I really wouldn't know actually; that's how little I know of Photoshop. D: But just experiment and see which layer gives you a shiny effect!

THIS WALLABY DOES. *blows raspberry*

cidite In reply to Nestly [2008-04-19 02:54:23 +0000 UTC]

8D I DID IT. Huurrhurr, Overlay works, not the BEEEEST shiney I can get, but.. eh, photoshop sucks. XD;

xD Weeelll.. I guess I could ask my dad about getting SAI. :/ Shame I haven't to ask my dad for everything that goes on my compy kkdkdd.
But where can I find it? ; ; -can't find it anywhere-


......THAT WALLABY..
IS MADNESS.

Nestly: YAAAAY. 8D And yeah, Photoshop sucks for drawing.. xD But at least you figured out how to work with it.

H'awww. X3 Well it's perfectly 'safe', haha. Although the program isn't free anymore since they finished it, if your trail runs out, I can just sneak you my bought licensing codes.

PFFFT. You were reading those retarded MSN adventure things weren't you? xD

xD Well, I'm pretty impressed with myself that I've learnt how to do this many things with photoshop, it is meant for editing photos. 8D;

;m; OH GOD THANK YOU NESTLY.
Oh good gravy ;3; If my dad can't find a way to crack it, if you could do that I would be so thankful Nestly. ;__;


In Bulma's journal? 8D

Oh no problem! :3 Have you tried using it yet? If your trial cuts out and you ever need those codes just note me. ^^

HARHARHAR. Bulma's obsessed with those crazy things. xD

this is awesome! I just downloaded the SAI program but i cant read a thing..could i ask how to change the language on it?

Nestly In reply to FireKatCat [2008-04-17 07:30:14 +0000 UTC]

Nestly: Certainly. :3

[link] Here there is a language.conf file you download, extract, and put into your Sai folder, and... ta-da! English!

Otherwise, there is also an unofficial English edit here that is also not bad: [link]
