Description My first drawing of Monkey D. Luffy! Well I haven't drawn One Piece in a while. I'm not really happy with it, and I hate the shading/:
I wasn't gonna finish it but my friend says he wants it soI guess I gotta finish it Dx

What do you guys think? I need to get better at shading, I'm not good enough yet! Dx

Very awesome! I know I may have asked this before... but how did you shade his hair?

Uhmm.. I'm not sure if you have asked before O.o I get asked a lot though so it's no biggie xD 
I just keep layering it and then use the blending stump after every layer. It helps not leave an pencil marks for me cause if you just go straight in with a dark black even after you use a blending stump you can still see the pencil lines. That's how it is for me anyway  
Oh and thanks xD

Well, you can either try to layer it a lot or you could use a blending stump. If I use a blending stump I'll still layer it though If you don't have a blending stump you could always use your finger. Haha I hate lines in my shading, really hate it Dx

If you want my advise on the shading I'd just make the darks darker. Put a little more contrast in the piece. The placing and general look of it is pretty awesomely well done. You are amazing as an artist, have a little more confidence in your work. :3

Conzibar In reply to Kaotic-Cass [2013-11-12 08:08:02 +0000 UTC]

Well I did think any that myself however with his clothes only being red I don't want to make it to dark Dx

I'll probably finish it and go back and darken it a little more just to see what it looks like first(: 

Awh thanks xD I try but it's just hard >.<

Kaotic-Cass In reply to Conzibar [2013-11-12 08:38:04 +0000 UTC]

I see what you're saying about not wanting to go too dark. I think if you just make the medium shades on his skin a tad bit darker it'll help some. ^^ And I think the finishing it out first will help you get a better perspective on it, sometimes you can't tell how something will turn out until it's done. And there's no need to thank me. You are quite the talented artist.


I can totally feel your pain with how difficult things can be. :0 I scrap a lot of my work because some things are just so hard. I admire your determination to keep working through what is difficult though. I wish you the best of luck.  :3

Conzibar In reply to Kaotic-Cass [2013-11-13 20:50:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, I'm almost done with it now but imma have to see if I can get a good picture without darkening anything too much more than I already have done! I don't particularly want to but it is what it is haha

I haven't darkened the skin yet, I don't really want to Dx I guess I'll see what happens when it's finally finished though xD 

Awh thanks:3 I don't really think of myself as talented xD 
If I didn't carry on working through difficult times I'd probably just flat out stop xD I love drawing though and I can't seem to stop and I don't think I'd be able to even if I wanted to haha xD Thank  you very much, you also ^-^
