ashkfahkfdk your LIIIINES. I will never ever be able to draw as freely as that with a tablet in a million years.

still gotta test how much pencil shows up on photocopiers, I was stupid and forgot to try at uni library today orz

Hetalia fandom is starting to disillusion me a little;; though I still love the charas and series as if I just got into it yesterday.

THAT'S ME TO YOU IN TRADITIONAL

have you tried SAI? it's so good for lines. you'll srsly feel like you're sketching on paper.

k you know what didn't occur to me? we could scan the pics and darken them then print them out and then photocopy LOL though i'm wondering about the loss of quality. it's kinda interesting though...

oh this fandom fails so hard. like when they had that formspring break out. and I can't believe there are still new episodes of ASK ENGLAND. Heaven help these children.

I'm on a mac =3= FFF MACS
I do have parallel desktops so I can technically access Windows. For some reason (probably because of it being parallels) pen pressure doesn't work in SAI though so everything I do comes out in unintended claire ligne OTL||

A lot still depends on the quality of the photocopier I think, if we want the "sketchy" look definitely needs to be a higher-end Xerox. The ones in my library are Canons, they're so-so, I keep forgetting to try them but I will next time I'm in --;;

this style is what I came up with after 3 hours of /wristing and re-inking, I'm thinking of trying chiaroscuro type extreme b&w next which I think would not cause any issues with photocopiers however crap they are :d what brush settings do you use btw?

lawl I don't even know what ASK ENGLAND is though I've seen my flatmate on one of those formspring Q&A before >_>

ohhh right macs.

my friend told me about the windows platform being slow and fail for SAI on macs :/ in that case I suppose... I don't know, your flatmates should have a PC at least? perhaps you can *cough* persuade them to let you try -w-

I thought of trying high contrast... it ended up so unnatural looking, but i should try again. I mean I'm already picking up ink pens that's like landing on the moon for me. (LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME)

I'm assuming you are talking about brush settings on SAI ??
For my lines I use the second tool (Airbrush) and set it at
Size 4.0~7.0
Min Size 0~20%
Density 65~85%
I think the advance settings are default, if not close to it.
I sketch at 50% on a Letter size canvas at 300dpi.
Here's an 100% view of my bad friends trio pic.

oh gosh. "Ask England" is this cosplayer who takes questions from people and makes vids of it and posts them on youtube. They're on season two! there's 19 eps since I saw her update... what. Now there's even ASK CHIBIRISU. I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF IT. /sarcasmfest ( ... )
