Np man, what program are you using for the ragna thing you did? Please dear god, don't say photoshop. xD

Behaxel In reply to FireOfBlades [2011-07-25 14:03:48 +0000 UTC]

The initial drawing and colouring was done in sai.

everything else, the background, textures, glow effects and the emblem were all done in photoshop XD

FireOfBlades In reply to Behaxel [2011-07-25 18:44:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh. Thank goodness. xD Did it take a while for the picture? And how are your lines so...CLEAN? When I draw, I can't seem to get the lines clean, because I don't have a steady hand, so I hafta use small strokes instead of just going along. Plus, erasing only makes it worse. xD

Behaxel In reply to FireOfBlades [2011-07-25 19:39:50 +0000 UTC]

lol thanks but I don't think my lines are very clean. Maybe they only appear so on that picture because I was going for think jagged lines.

I don't have a very steady hand either and do things in short strokes as well. I get around it though by doing different layers for the drawing, like the initial idea sketch then the full sketch and then I refine the line more and use a small brush per layer.

It takes usually about 5 layers lately to get a nice line for me.

as for how long it took me it was one of the quests things I ever did about a week total I think if not just over.

FireOfBlades In reply to Behaxel [2011-07-25 19:49:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh, well jagged seemed to fit the style.

Ohh. Same, but mine never turn out too well. xD i get lazy with coloring too, so my coloring normally sucks. But I do almost the same thing. I'm always editing. Sometimes i'll use the curve tool to help just a bit. To get clean lines, I hafta zoom in closely, then I can do small strokes that are clean.

It takes 5 layers for me to get a FACE. xD

Oh. Jeez. That's some dedication. I only spend at max, 2 hours on drawings because I have low patience. You should do a Jin one though. : D

Behaxel In reply to FireOfBlades [2011-07-25 22:06:00 +0000 UTC]

I can usually only spend 2-3 hours on a drawing in one day sometimes a lot longer.

But I'm a lazy and largely unmotivated person so things usually take me weeks or months to finish.

Days is an achievement.

FireOfBlades In reply to Behaxel [2011-07-25 23:21:32 +0000 UTC]

Same. I just finished one. P:
I need to find someone to color it to my preference.

Ugh, tell me about it. If I see my drawing is bad or not what I'd wanted it to be, I completely ditch it or get pissed cause I can't get it right. xD

I hate it XD

FireOfBlades In reply to Behaxel [2011-07-26 06:46:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I just can't seem to help myself. ._. At first when I'm zoomed in, I'm all "Oh, yeah, this is nice :3 " then I zoom out to take a look and I'm all "..... -__- /default reaction: ERASE "
I like your colors though Maybe I should go for jagged lines next time, it'll probably make my art look a bit better. But your coloring is good, man. xD

I had a lot of help and advice from a friend which really helped me to improve my colouring technique.

Oh? Was it in real life or? If so, I'd like to get some help from that person too. xD I suck at coloring. Terribly. ._.

Mostly you just gotta stick with it though = )

Ohh. That comes in handy when you can be SHOWN and see how it works with your eyes.

Yeahh, I've been doing that. I'm in athletics though, so during the school year, I wouldn't really draw, which kinda threw me off. D:

Ohh. Could you spare a few tips, if possible?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Behaxel In reply to FireOfBlades [2011-07-27 05:47:17 +0000 UTC]

hmm well I do all my flats on separate layers first and then when I'm happy with that I merge it all together.

Then I put in a new layer above that and group it to the colour layer (I think it's clipping on sai) pick a colour you think will work as a good shadow and turn the layer to multiply and then mess around with the occupancy till you got the kind of shadow you want. If the colour you chose isn't working with you mess around with the hue and saturation till your happy.

thats pretty much what I do ^ ^
