Description Now that I can draw people better and found out how to make my own grids in photoshop, I've been drawing them a lot more. Still avoiding hands, though. Shame on me.

Inspiration:
Kristina Collantes (her work is amazing. The Island is a special influence here.)
Zelda from Legend of Zelda

Tools of the trade:
Photshop CS2
Mouse

The simple style you used in this piece is really pretty and Zelda's hair looks so floofy and princess-y.

Thank you I wanted to give her soft, bouncy hair that was, as you put it, princess-y.

Thank you darling! I'm ashamed now of some of the art I did three years ago. Which is good. That means I'm becoming more awesome!

And yes. Hands are. I hate them.

It's certainly a good sign, your old artworks are still super awesome but it's fun to see proof of ones improvement (it would be horrible if it went backwards) ^^

Ah! I love this!
I really love the lack of contour lines. That you're only using color to separate areas of the image. Very well done Laurasauce. :3

You should practice and only do a piece with hands

I can draw hands alright with a pencil but not so much with a mouse, so I really do need to practice more.

What do you mean by "making your own grids"? How does that help, and what does it do?

pronouncedyou In reply to maytel [2011-06-06 16:36:59 +0000 UTC]

Have you ever used a grid in school to draw? I used one to help me with proportions so that mapping her out was 10x easier.

And thanks!

maytel In reply to pronouncedyou [2011-06-06 16:45:03 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I think so... but I'm not much of a drawer so never really used it to it's full potential.
