Description And the dumpage of art begins! This is mostly old stuff from the first half of the semester, but I guess more memorable/interesting because of... whatever.
After this it just turns into a lot of rough life-drawing sketches. Boop. Been practicing on my classmates, see.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuh anyway yep!
Classes (and NaNoWriMo) are finally done with--just finals and art to worry 'bout now. Hopefully I'll get more time to poke around here, too--sorry 'bout the lack of activity lately!

.../goes back to pecking at ian and cris stories;;

Hahahah, d'aaaaaw, thank you! I still don't feel like the hair I draw is very realistic--it's all very super-smooth and swishy, ahah!--b-but thank you!!

PhantomTeacup In reply to Laitma [2011-12-18 14:43:33 +0000 UTC]

just oekaki and paintchat... <_<

Sai was the first one I tried with a tablet, but I never learned how to use it properly. (well, technically I'd used photoshop once or twice before that when borrowing a friend's tablet, but I was so terrible at it... and then it ate my file :< ) But yeah, I have a lot of old Sai doodles and they're all crap. xD;; I learned everything I know about digital painting in pchat.

Wow, really? oAo That's pretty amazing, hahah! I think I need to figure out a decent painting program for myself again though, because the ability to do things like rotate my canvas and change proportions and what have you would be handy. It's just right now, I've fallen out of love with the feel of SAI's tools, augh~ >>;

yeah... I've only ever used Sai, and photoshop a couple of times, but that was so long ago I forget. I have gimp but I don't understand how it works.... I sometimes use Sai for paintovers/touchups but there's just something about oekaki tools; I can't paint well without them.

Laitma In reply to PhantomTeacup [2011-12-20 02:33:54 +0000 UTC]

Augh, yeah, I just can't get SAI to match oekaki's transparency/overlaying abilities right now, and it's driving me nuts... I'm going to try and figure it out, though! I feel bad spamming craic with comic work sometimes, and I really want some of the features of SAI sometimes, or at least, the ease of changing the canvas size and moving things around... xD

PhantomTeacup In reply to Laitma [2011-12-20 10:29:42 +0000 UTC]

I don't know if it's possible to achieve the type of painting you do, with a hard-edge pencil tool...the only way I know how to get hard pixels is Binary, but that only works for solids....

Laitma In reply to PhantomTeacup [2011-12-21 05:46:58 +0000 UTC]

Actually, my problem is with transparency--if you lower the opacity on SAI it makes the MAXIMUM that opacity, so it won't overlap and get progressively darker, which is what I really loved about the program, really.
There's some other opacity that kind of gives me what I want, but the brush looks uneven, so I get irritated, grr...

Sometimes, simplicity is best, huh? xD;;;

PhantomTeacup In reply to Laitma [2011-12-22 05:08:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, guess so!

.....huh, I didn't know that. I just know that oekaki is easier.

Laitma In reply to PhantomTeacup [2011-12-22 15:57:03 +0000 UTC]

I've been fiddling around with the settings on brushes a lot, trying to figure out how to replicate the pencil tool in SAI... but so far, no success.

You layer so much pen on those drawings. I couldn't do that. I'd be too afraid too. I'm scared enough just doing outlines in pen let alone shading!

There's something about those side profiles you've done that's very captivating. You make them look like real people and you want to know what they're thinking...or something like that. Whenever you draw profiles you always give them individuality and this air of introspection that's very interesting.

That last pic is awesome too. That's right...I'm just ignoring all your lies about this art.

SAI painter why you look so finnnne? I need to download you!!

*ehem*
Love your left hand doodles! I love doing those. But if you want a new challenge try drawing with your eyes closed... that's fun too! B)

And I can't help but fall in love with the doodles with the red geometric backgrounds/shadows. They are so awesome!
