Description Look closely - no lines!

Or more appropriately, no outlines. I'm trying to do that thing again like I did with Astelier - you know, where the picture is defined primarily by colors? This time I tried using the Pen tool in Flash; it's probably my first deviation here where I've used that thing. It's not quite as difficult to handle as I remember, actually. But still! It takes much too much time; I'll stick with my fat paint brush, thank you. At least now I know I can do this.

Anyhow, this is Setako - mixed from the Japanese word for sweater (se-ta-) and octopus (tako). At this point I should point out that her bandana and skirt are both sweaters for a total of three sweaters and eight "limbs" (if you include her legs). I don't recommend you try dressing like this - it's probably very hot and very stupid-looking.

Man, this looks like an ad for a clothing brand or something.

Made in Flash


EDIT: For those of you who wonder what it looked like with lines, here's an alternative version.

Wow, what a neat style! The sweaters could be...well, sweaty....who knows, that may be the new look...sweatiness.

Anyways, I do like this "coloured shape" style, though I agree it'd be hard to do.

I think that she's very shiny somehow...she still looks really neat. You have a talent with folds in clothing, you do.

I'd wear that. With or without the flowy-ness making it look all cool!

I've tried wearing sweaters as skirts, but never tried wearing them as hats too! That's so creative!

I think I actually prefer the one with the lines--they're thin, and match to the color of whatever they're outlining, so they don't stand out like sore thumbs but they do add definition and detailing.

But that's just me. I like how you drew without lines as well. It's good practice and a great skill to have.

It's a hooded sweater.

With lines; it looks more defined but I like the one without lines a lot better! It looks really cool!!!!! It would probably take me a million years just to figure out how to use the pen tool in photoshop and colour with no lines

Hmmm....well, it wont be THAT hot if it's worn in a cold weather, heh.
