Description
Yeah, this is my landescape for my next picture- the final version won't be so outshined, though.
It's very different to my usual stuff, but I hope you like it nonetheless

Wow. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Actually, I was surprised myself of the outcome of this picture- it was supposed to be rather a fast scribble in the beginning and somehow I managed to draw something like that

Of course! ^^ I felt so happy to see this. I'm glad to have seen your gallery develop from the beginning. Sometimes the best pictures develop from scribbles : )

Aww, you're so nice to me, thank you so much! 
Yeah, that's probably true
Btw- I wish a happy new year!

Thank you, I wish you a happy new year too!

This is really beautiful~
I'm caught especially by the detail of the grass and the light in the water. I like your choice of colours ^_^

Thanks!
I make it almost even more colorful than it is now- I planned to draw a red sky, but it just didn't work with the rest of the picture

0_0 wow, what a magical landscape! a dream-scape if you will! I'm very impressed, and I actually like the "out shined" look, it complements with the magical atmosphere, the rays of light work well with the scene, well done indeed! can't wait to see the finished one!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much!
The end result has also this rays, but it won't be as outshined as it is here.

Your welcome!
I think it's quite beautiful, it's quite different than what you normally do, but this is a good thing, I'm seeing more of what you are good at.

Hehe, I was also a little surprised with the outcome of this landescape- I guess some luck was also with me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, indeed!
A very cool picture indeed, I love how atmospheric it is, it looks like it's from some fantasy samurai game.

Wow... This is off to a beautiful start.

Thank you!
Oh my.. I never thought someone would say that to me someday- normally I usually say this all the time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I guess there's a first time for everything. I'm sure it won't be the last time anyone tells you that!
Yes, practicing makes such a difference... I'm bad at taking the time to practice though. XD I won't be able to do anything like this for a very very very (very) long time...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's probably true
Hehe, some improvments come rather fast sometimes- I startedd with digital art only two years ago
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, then you've come a very long way in two months. O.O How often do you draw? Even if you don't know how many hours you've drawn for. XD
Oh, and do you happen to have an instant messenger program? MSN or ICQ or something like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Years- not months.. two months are far too short for learning much about digital art 
Err. that's very difficult to say- there are times where I seem to draw every free second and there are times when I do more other things (like gaming for example).. but I draw at least once every week
Yeah, I have MSN and ICQ!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Er, right, I was thinking years but my hands typed months. *glares at them*
I wish I was the kind of person who could draw all the time. XD But it's so easy to do other stuff instead! Right now, though, I have a goal to draw one drawing (traditional) every day... been doing it for about a week. I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up, but hopefully for a long time! XD
I have both too (er, obviously... XD) though I prefer to use MSN. Mine is Zeimyth@hotmail.com.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, I wasn't like that all the time! I always liked to draw details and stuff, but I never draw more than a few hours on one picture.. Now I can sometimes even spent around 50
One drawing for one week sounds good- Hehe, I tried to do that too, but I just didn't manage it anymore, because I need now longer for one picture
Hehe, I kinda use both at the same time, so it doesn't really matter for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, usually when you mix up words like that, it's easy to tell what was meant. Luckily.
If I'm really working on a drawing, I put a loooot of time into it. >.< I have one I'm working on now that might have 80 or more hours, and it's still not done. Part of why I want to draw a new drawing every day is to help me get faster. I'm so slow at drawing right now.
Well, I added you on MSN. I could add you on ICQ if you wanted too. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah
Well, there is nothing bad with a slow drawing- but I know how it feels.. You spent so much time on one piece and it just don't look like you have done so.. that's frustrating
Uh no... that would confuse me if you also add me in ICQ
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it's very frustrating. >.< And then I see other people who do better than me and draw so much faster than me.
I have a bad habit of comparing my art to others'. >_>
Hehe, then just MSN, I guess! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I have that problem too.. There are artists around who draw something in one hour and it looks much better than my 25 hours work >.< But compared to my drawing speed a few years ago, I have become much faster.. Most of my recent pictures would have take my a-g-e-s one or two years ago
I have also that bad habit- but hey, it also has it's good side: Better artists show me that I still have much to learn and still need to improve much.. It's motivating on it's own way.
Yeah..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That gives me hope, then. It's good to know that it is possible to become faster. XD
Yes, that kind of thing does have a good side... But sometimes I do it way too much. It's just so hard to not look at art and wish that you were as good as that artist. XD But I hate feeling that way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, yeah... btw.. Do you use a tablet when drawing something digitally?
I know- I sometimes feel like that too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope! I don't have a tablet, but I really want one... XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I really, really highly recommend you to buy a tablet- you will need some time to get used to it, but after that, your speed in drawing will increase! It doesn't have to be a really expensive one for the beginning- just make sure that it has a pressure sensor.. I started with a Volito2 from Wacom, now I have a Bamboo Fun, both are good for drawing (well, volito2 not really, because it was made originally for writing stuff, but it wasn't that bad for beginning
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I really don't like drawing with a mouse... I kind of cheat by drawing it by hand first and then scanning the picture and making it digital from there. I have never created a picture without using pencil first. XD
Believe me, I want a tablet! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's surely not cheating- I drawing some things still by hand and scan it- because it's sometimes easier. I do know more sketches directly on the computer, but it took me a long time to do some acceptables sketches digitally
But still.. my outlines kinda looked horrible when I did the coloring digitally, I'm really amazed by your smooth and clear outlines!
Hey, I still have a Bamboo Fun- it's a really awesome tablet!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess drawing by hand will always be a little easier, because you just have that slight bit of control that a computer will never have.
I've never colored traditionally, so I can't compare it to coloring digitally. Heh, for that matter, I don't think that what I do counts as coloring digitally either. I really have to fake my way through the whole process.
My lines are only smooth and clear because of the pen tool (in GIMP... I don't know what it's called in photoshop). It's the only reason I haven't given up on drawing with the mouse altogether. >.< But it does have some nice results, I guess...
My cousin has an Intuous 3, and I've gotten to try it a few times. I've never used any others though, so I can't compare. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's true
That's strange- why didn't you try to color traditionally something? That would be a great training too! Hmm, well, I don't know how you color your pictures, but I can't think of any 'cheat' to get your pictures colored
Hehe, I never had the chance to try out something more expensive than a Bamboo Fun, so I can't compare them either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, I don't know. I guess I've never had the means to. The only traditional coloring tools I've ever had were cheap crayola markers or colored pencils... I'd want to have higher-quality tools than that, I guess. Plus, there's the little matter of being able to erase a normal pencil but not a colored pencil... >_> So I've just never gotten around to trying it.
Well, I consider my way to be cheating, at least... XD
I'm sure the difference isn't huge, but there is a difference... Supposedly. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww.. I tried to reach realism with colored pencils (when I didn't even know that there is something like digital art 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would like to be able to draw traditionally... But it's a lot harder, in my opinion, to get it to look good. But there's some artist out there who do a fantastic job at traditional art. It just costs too much money, though, I think... XD Cause you have to pay for the supplies, and they don't last forever.
Of course, digital art costs money too if you buy a tablet and the programs, but in my mind that's a better investment. And digital art is more flexible...
I guess I just don't know where to start to do traditional coloring. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe- I guess it's 'just' training, like the coloring in digital art too. If you just use colored pencils, it isn't even very expensive- and you actually can reach realism with colored pencils!
Hehe, I just love digital art by now- I never really liked traditional art that much.. But I wouldn't say digital art is easier! It's just ..different.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The one advantage of traditional art over digital is that you don't need a computer in order to draw. XD But how often does that happen?
You definitely can do some very realistic art with colored pencils. I just... don't know how. XD Hmm, this is really making me want to try some traditional coloring.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, there are other advantages too- like you have more control over what you actually draw (better feeling), you don't have to zoom in and out the whole time, drawing some things might be easier (like hair for example
No, I can't (my pictures were always far too bright and mostover had no or just a bad background)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... I guess it really is just a matter of preference, huh? There's plenty of advantages to both...
I wish I could do both. XD But right now I kind of feel like I can't do either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it is
Well, I focus myself on digital art- I guess I getting better in traditional art too at the same time (in some things), but I will be always better in digital art probably
Aww, I wouldn't say that! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hee, and that certainly works well for you, because your digital art looks wonderful.
Unfortunately, at this point, I'm not likely to get a tablet for a long time. XD I'm kind of stuck until I do, because I really can't do much with digital art with just my mouse, and I haven't made the investment to get myself good traditional supplies... XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, thanks!
You could try to find a used tablet for you- artists mostly sell them at a low prize, if they bought a new one for themselves- you won't have the best tablet this way, but it's better than mouse anyway- any tablet is better than a mouse! I would say the prize for a used tablet can be even under 30$ sometimes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... Yes, I suppose so. Never thought about doing that. 30$ seems rather cheap for a tablet, though. Even a used one. XD I guess I'll have to think about it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, you have to be lucky to find a cheap tablet that is still in good condition- but I just wanted to say: Not every tablet has to cost many hundreds dollars! My Volito2 was also rather a cheap one- and still it was good enough for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that's true... Just because the nicest ones do doesn't mean they all do. XD I guess I just feel like I want to get a nicer tablet if I'm going to get one at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I guess that your decision at last- but I would recommend you to buy a cheaper one for the beginning (so can start earlier with one)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, and that's a good point... I might, I guess. XD Right now I can't even get a cheap tablet, it doesn't really matter just now. XD
