Ah! I have tried coloring in that sort of style!! It really does interest me as well ^^ But I never know which random color to switch to or what will end up complimenting what in the overall color scheme... so it just looks like an ADD colorblind 2 year old with every crayon in the crayola box hada sugar-spree on paper >> *sighs*
And it's totally not stealing XD I bet you could do it though! You have a much better sense of color and design than I've developed ^^

Hey well I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it! 8D I think the colors depend on what character you're drawing... I'm thinking that one with the blue and blond with pink and all that is probably because the character getting chibi-ized looks that way to some degree. I was more or less referring the that "sketchy" shading style, which I'm sure you could do as well. And I totally want to try it some time ^^

lol - this year, I am going to make a VICIOUS attempt to not let my gallery become overpopulated with CHIBIS xD And instead, focus on improving my regular style. But still, I'm sure I could use the technique itself - I really need to work on my sense of color+scene... and this would be very ineresting ^^

Of course! The moment I saw your gallery, I couldn't help but think, "Where have you been all my life?" XD -dies- Your characters are amazing and the artistic ability you use to express their stories and culture is even more inspiring! ^^ One day, I hope to be able to do the same - even if it's only to a tenth degree as well well as you do lol

Best of luck and inspiration to you!

Sorry, it was the best I could think to do with what I had. XD
I didn't give up. I just got to your trade at a bad time. I got really busy with the holidays and stuff and so I didn't draw at all for about two months and then it took me a long time to learn how to draw again. So.... yeah, sorry. XD

Wow! I was wondering where you went! A couple of us were actually really worried about you :/ But I'm glad you're alright and aparently doing okay for yourself :3 And OHMYGOSH I need to seriously get back on that darn stock account *siiiiiigh* lol - I fail. xD -shot-
I'm doing alright! Busy! I had a temp job for a while working on the set of a movie as a scripting assistant (that was crazy) and right now I'm running soundboard for a christmas production in town where the director changes pretty much everything EVERY NIGHT. -dies- (What else do I have to live for? XD) But busy is good! It's better than sitting at home, unemployed, doing nothing. ^^
What on EARTH have YOU been up to??? 8D

huh (: when I read your answer at the first time I was amazed and not-understanding you and it was crazy a little bit))
Well.. I'm so happy for you! It's absolutely cool being busy! Yeah. I wonder. What film you talking about? And. What were you doing there? I mean some thing that a scripting assistant must do.
As for me, I'm busy too. But not so much. You know I'm studying yet and I'm just a high school student. And I'll have a little exam in mid-march so I have to write an abstract and it's becoming difficult... Oh... One more year and I'll finish it! Yahoooooooooo!
Also I'm going to take part in the Christmas Photoshop Contest where my mission is to make a Christmas card.. from scratch. I haven't got any digitizer! So it takes me heaps of time and efforts, I hate drawing and designing by c.mouse.

yuuup. I'm kind of an epic fail at drawing on the computer -_= For some reason my sense of proportion just goes OUT the window and nothing turns out right in the big picture it's it's just BLEH. Thus, I draw everything out on paper, scan it in and then color it on the computer. A looong and tedious and often grainy process XD -shot-

m00kabear In reply to BlackPixiDust [2011-08-24 18:38:49 +0000 UTC]

You could always draw a hand-done sketch and try going over it with the tablet? o: Or is your hand too shaky for that? xD

BlackPixiDust In reply to m00kabear [2011-08-24 20:51:29 +0000 UTC]

it's debatable. >> Sometimes I think I have arthritis... other times I'm just fine *sigh* But generally, yeah - I have shakey hands and my lines aren't naturally smooth or straight. Which is really frustrating. Whycantmylinesbebeautifulto??? XD

I've actually done that before :3 My 'Bunnified' picture was one I drew in a notebook and traced in. I figure proportions don't really matter all that much with bunny-cat things XD

How do you usually draw? :/ Sketch then go over it with a tablet? Or are you enviably gifted and can draw things straight into a computer? XP

Aww. Well I think I've told you before about the line art tool on SAI in case you want to do it. c: It's an easy way for people who are shaky with tablets (I used to be like that and only recently transfered over to direct tablet lining with the stylus pen XD) and it's easy to make the lines thicker or thinner at certain points - just like line art you do yourself.

And I do a really messy sketch on SAI's canvas and then go over it with the pen tool. xD Maybe one day I should do those step-by-step thingies just to show you guys how I make my crappy art. -dies-

I don't have that tool - I've looked for it. Feverishly XD I don't know if it's my version if SAI or what... but I don't seem to have as many brush options or tools as most people. :/ And I think that magical tool is one of the missing ones XD

Where did you download your SAI? On their official website, right? xD

If you want, I could do a few quick screenshots to show you where the tool should be/how it works? c:
