aaahhh thanks for the llama I will give one back in a min ^^

mmh.. I never used sai, I think I got it on this laptop.. or the other one... but, isnt there like a smudge tool? I think..

of course, everyone got their own style of art but sometimes, it helps to blend out the colors a bit.. erhm, like... I seen YT tutorials, on how to make this... uhh... metallic... ish... looks, same counts to clothing and fur :3 just try out I am not saying it will work, but everything is work a shot, right?

for myself, I recently started to use Photoshop... so.. mehh.. I gotta learn to use drawing program aaalll over again ._. ... but to be honest, it was (or is) at some areas, better than the old program I used (Jasc Paint Shop 'Pro 8').. ^^ but its just boring, annoying, and hard, yet a bit fun, to learn to use PS... my bf, he use PS too, I am like: show me some stuff ^^! and he said sure, he did like, these effects, and made like this.. cool looking thing I am like: !!! awesoooooomemgnjbiraengrughragr ... so jealous... XD before, I used to look at photoshop as cheat I still do... cause... mehh...

PS got like, everything better, but damn, it is good lol... but PS is just better, I have to admit it Q_Q ... well.. better than jasc XD well...

if you will excuse me... I will sit wait 3-4 hours for school... Q_Q ... I am so fked today.... so.. tired... and.. sorry for all the typing, when I got nothing better to do, I write a ton of stuff XD ... sorry ._. ..

O.o haha I dont use the smudge tool but I have a tool I can use with a similar but better affect. Idk why I havent been blending certain elements lately...I guess Im just testing out different ways to colour things >.> On Photoshop...Im certified in one of the versions >.> but I honestly prefer Sai over Photoshop I just dont have much of a liking to the program even though I know how to use it >.<

yeah same as I just bit in the sour apple yesterday, walked into a car shop, asked after the boss (and fk I Was talking to him XD)... asking if they tok in deployment pupil... .. but I was like: do you take in... oh.. God I forgot the word again.... ._. .... him: apprentice? me: no! deployment pupil! and they said that they might could do that, I am like: well, thats great and lol, the boss failed a bit when he was gonna check his phones dates, cause, something he was on wrong year XD idk I was like: X3 .. but God how scared I was... ... ._. .. brain: why am I telling you this?
yes, I will tell.. because I am a idiotic retard! DX

:3 ... pfft, you dont need that much practice, your already a great artist, but digital drawing is like 70% skills and 30% creativity (I think) cause digitally is somehow similar to real life drawing, its just its easier to fix if you did wrong, but its not help to draw digital if you don't know how to use tools, shading, cloning etc... but when drawing digitally you need more skills than fantasy, and that is sadly a fact... like.. someone can give you ideas to draw, and you can draw them if your good at drawing but you cant draw your own things if you dont have the fantasy ._. .. which sucks lol well.. mehh.. schooltime DX

haha Practice is everything! XD I need to practice until I become a pro in art and then I will practice more always improving XD haha anything you do you need to understand the tools and what you are doing to get good results. haha Idk what the percentage on skills and creativity from my view point it because I find originality so important and yet without the skills you cant show off that originality. I guess once you get to a point they help each other? idk lol...

Shylittleweirdo In reply to anime-halo [2012-08-29 06:02:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah but, if you want to create art, special digitally, its not always help to be like: oh, I will choose this one just for fun! but, mehh...

like for me, I am becoming a car mechanic, so, for me its 80% knowledge and 20% working physically.. of course, there can be more work but, its no help screwing on the car if you dont know what you are doing or going to do :3

but I know you got great potential so I have to work a bit more, but, I want to draw cars so, mehh, I need to study the fking cars I want to draw, but its not help, if I dont know how to draw cars XD so I need to work a bit more on that, I know how they look like, but its not always easy to place it on the screen :c

haha placing random percentages can be fun but Im not sure how much they hold true or accomplish lol...we could do that forever XD haha If you want to know how to draw cars then go to google images and search for images of cars and just start drawing The best way to do it is to just do it. Find a reference and start

Nice contrast with foreground and background colors! You could look more into anatomy and using different brushes to make it more dynamic

anime-halo In reply to HaakonLie [2012-08-26 21:36:42 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou! I think the coat might confuse the anatomy but Idk...what is wrong with the anatomy? I only used 2 brushes on this...do you have any suggestions for brushes in Sai?
