Description Okay this took way too long to finish... I started this sketch like last month and I have been steadily working on this here and there. Honestly I do not know what the Dutch country side looks like, so I based it off the only country side I know, which is my own. So if it looks funky oh well. Though I gotta say this is the first time I did both a detailed drawing and background...

Also Netherlands and I are no longer friends! His face gave me a nightmare worth of work.. v_v I think I need to take a break from drawing both Netherlands and Denmark because doing them back to back should be a sin...

(Danmarken= Denemarken. You are doing great~) Leuk! Ik wil heel graag naar Noorwegen. Jammer genoeg is het niet zeker want we gaan een aantal dingen op de camping doen. (Fun! I really want to go to Norway. But sad enough I probaly wont because we are working on things at the camping.)

Ik wil naar Noorwegen ook. Ik was leren Noors maar ik kan niet vinden noorse boeken. (sorry trying to say i was learning norwegian but cant find enough norwegian books..) Zo ik ben leren Zweeds. Ik wil werken in een Scandinavian land. Ik hou van Scandinavian landen! (No idea how to say Scandinavian..)

(It's: Ik wil ook naar Noorwegen. Ik wou Noors leren maar ik kon geen Noorse boeken vinden. Dus ging ik Zweeds leren. Ik wil werken in een Scandinavisch land. Ik hou van Scandinavische landen! You've got some mistakes there. But dutch is not the easiest language to learn. It's very different from English. Especially the grammar.) Cool, Ik zou zo graag in Noorwegen wonen. Maar dan moet ik het geld vinden. Plus ik ben nog niet klaar met school. Dus dat moet maar wachten. XD (Cool, I'd love to live in Norway. But then I need to get the money. Plus I'm still at school. So I need to wait. XD)

Ahhg! Ik ben jaloers! Ik heb nog niet echt een baan waar van ik denk dat het bij mij past. D: (Ahhg! I'm so jealous! I can't seem to think of a job that would fit me. D: )

You should see me, I have piles of sketches from June I apparently forgot about..........

Anyways, this is lovely! What tools did you use? I'm trying to get that soft painting like effects myself but being a CG n00b I can't seem to figure it out. XD;

Helenae-Cat In reply to middletails [2011-10-06 23:27:36 +0000 UTC]

If you are using paint tool sai I used the pen tool put the main color down and then the mass majority of the blending was with water 10 and sometimes water color. Though there are a few times I did use the airbrush tool but it was blended into with water 10. Hope that helps!

Btw water 10 takes a lot of getting used to because it does not blend smoothly thats why you see some blotch patching going on xD but I love the partial roughness it gives my pics.

I plan on tapping in on my sketch reserves while I'm in school. Hopefully I wont run out!

Thanks xD I honestly don't know what your country looks like other than what I've seen on your profile. I often really do still get Denmark and Netherlands mixed up... so sad..

oOToetjeOo In reply to Helenae-Cat [2011-10-06 21:01:50 +0000 UTC]

well that's acutally not that much of an issure ^^ geographicly the netherlands and denmark do look alike, we're both lands made out of sediment from other countries, have lots of water and not much hills or high grounds XD the only difference is the shape and the fact that denmark has more islands and we have the weddelzee (a sea that's 4 times a day not a sea but shallow water) and here are some pics of what the netherlands's country side looks like: [link]
