Hey man. What's up? I just realized it had been ages since I'd heard from you last and wanted to drop you a line to see how it's going.

I've been great! However, I've been given a larger position in the company I work for and it's been taking up ALL of my spare time so I don't get a chance to do a lot of my own work any more. I haven't posted in AGES! I keep promising myself I'll get back on here and start posting new stuff but I just can't seem to find the time.

I'll have some more news soon though.

I need to check out your newest additions on your gallery as well. I took a brief peek and it looks awesome man!

Keep up the good work.

I'm going to upload an image of your "Dogs at War" image, but coloured in. Please if you object message me and I'll remove it.

I'll make sure I give you credit for the original image.

No problem Lewis. Thanks for linking back to my original piece.


With a mouse you didn't do a half bad job. I don't use a tablet at all in any of my work so don't feel like you HAVE to use one to do good work. If you'd like a little constructive criticism, I'd push my values farther and use more variations in value, more lights specifically. Hope it helps!

LewisMead In reply to Hobbit1978 [2009-04-02 15:16:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the criticism. But by "more variations" do you mean more colour or a bigger difference from one colour to the shading?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Hobbit1978 In reply to LewisMead [2009-04-02 19:23:18 +0000 UTC]

Maybe a little bit of both. Right now the coloring gets flat and doesn't show a lot of form or lighting. When you start to add a light source the colors will begin to change from a flat brown to many shades of brown depending on the amount of light or the angle of the lighting itself. There should at least be 3 shades of brown on the fur, a dark for the shadows, a mid-tone for where the light falls all over (you've mostly got that now), and a lighter shade for where the light hits the closest to the surface. Depending on how much you feel like modeling the colors there could be numerous other shades in-between each of those values but there should at least be 3 to start with.

Hope that helps a bit. It's a hard concept to type into words but in general the main point is, "Don't stop now! Keep pushing the values, darker darks, lighter lights!"

LewisMead In reply to Hobbit1978 [2009-04-02 19:51:54 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, I understand.
I did plan on doing this, but when I started colouring I kind of lost all concept of lighting and it mainly went to midtones.

you're welcome. you've got some neat work!

and thank you... hopefully, i can... i'm trying to start on a new piece.. unfortunate for me, the only time i can draw is towards the end of the semester and on vacations(like now.. but only a week to go before school starts again!). oh well.. the course i am taking is barely related to art and i find it hard to divide the time.

aaaanyway.. i'll also be looking forward to more of your works!
