Description So many of you have asked how I do my art - I usually answer that it is through brute force, ignorance, and an inability to know when I'm beaten.

This is true but I do have some basics I adhere to

I've put together this shockingly bad tutorial to try and put it into words (and a picture)

I always wondered how you do your drawings, thank you for posting it up. I might give your method a go some day (I mainly work in digital or with markers, but it's good to break from the usual )

Quite interesting! I can't draw, but it's definitely nice to see a traditional tutorial for a change. Always wondered how you people do your stuff without Layers and Undo

Nice one In the fitfth frame you've written van as opposed to can I've never used a smudger - whenever I draw in pencil I struggle to gradually shade the drawing... so maybe I should go buy a smudger

What the heck is a smudger?

Bit of paper rolled up really tight so you can sharpen it and use it to blend pencil/patil/charcole etc

They sometimes call them "stumps" or paper stumps. They're very handy!

Black-Charizard In reply to chamois-shimi [2005-09-16 09:46:26 +0000 UTC]

Do they just look like a pencil made of papery stuff? Cause I've seen something like that, just didn't realise what it was

chamois-shimi In reply to Black-Charizard [2005-09-16 20:08:13 +0000 UTC]

More or less! Shorter, and (usually?) gray, but entirely of paper, yup.

My favorite part was the name of the tutorial.

That, and the lightbulb. That lightbulb kicks ass.
