I'm starting to love my pencils

Aug 05, 2010 19:43

Been on a real traditional art kick, lately.

Finished an art trade piece of Typhlosion and a picture of Dakarai (Both of which I need to scan and upload) and I have two more traditional pieces to go! :D

Here's a couple of ACEOs I did in the past couple of days:

OMG LINELESS? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? My version of lineless is *CLICK* YAY NO LINES 8D

Ohhhh! Omg I never thought to use that brush! That's so SNEAKY. You clever thing you!

Nope! What I did for that, or am doing anyway *hasn't finished lol*, is you flats and shade and stuff first.... maybe hilight too. But it's all rough. THEN on top you color over the entire thing with whatever color you'll want to be the darkest, so like I used that really dark blue, and set the layer to Multiply. Then you ERASE. YEAH. So uhhh I did a softer variation of the hard brush at like 20% opacity and did big fluffs at like 40px, smudgied them, did it again at I think 10px, smudgied them, then bopped the opacity up to something higher... like 70% iirc and went in with a 3px brush and made TINY FUR. I think then after I might manually add in some super small, like, yellow or whatever furs just for some color variation and highlights. It's not perfect, but I like it so far! But YEAH. HAVE A SMALL NOVEL. LOLOL.

I dunno! It's done it to me before! *shakes fist at LJ* I hate it though

LOL WELL I'm assuming it would be more difficult with a light coloured character. I sketchydoodled it all and then just abused my dark colours, which hid the sketch. 8D;

Haha! Obviously you want it at a small size, but I used the default 14 because it worked SO well for thick fur. XD; I think I need to add some more highlights, though. New layer tiemz! 8D;

OH that is SO COOL. And all this time I've been making new layers to add shading on top, lawl. 8D Fjakdj do you mind if I try that technique out? o: Although, I doubt I'll make it look as awesome as you do. XD;

It's all paragraph'd now, yay! 8D No idea what happened there, LOL.

TRICKY. You tricky thing you! <3333 I've got a Thunderflight trade coming up too mayhaps I'll try that.

YESS I bet! You started big and dark and went smaller and brighter? With a higher opacity?

NO definitely give it a shot! that's how Shin and Sky and all those people do their shading, and while I prefer colorsmudge shading, I really like using it for fur! I'd LOVE to see what you could do with it!

YES I think it's my shifty-eyes face. It mucks with the HTML coding for some reason lolololol <3333

Oooh DO IT. <333 Is it an ACEO trade? o:

Yup! Although the layer at the bottom is like...well I did the flats and slapped on some rough shading to act as a 'guide'; all with a big round brush. XD That's the only layer I didn't use that brush for. *nodnod* (And also, my SUPER BRIGHT highlights are on 100% Opacity and a separate layer. c: )

Ohohoh! I never knew that! o: Hmmhmm I'll try it out tomorrow, methinks! Haha, I'm just like you; I prefer different shading techniques for different textures. XD

...lawl, it detects that you're being shifty and it disapproves? :B
