Very cute! Nice job! ^.^ How are you able to draw only in colored pencil without messing up??

Ricku In reply to Fantasy-Fashionista [2014-01-14 06:27:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I first sketch the picture with a normal pencil and then I replace the lines with coloured pencils, erasing the pencil lines. Coloured pencils are a lot easier to control for me than ink or pens, as my hand gets shaky with them and you can't erase the mistakes (unless it's white ink.) Coloured pencil lines can be erased to some extend, so it makes it easier as well. :3

Fantasy-Fashionista In reply to Ricku [2014-01-14 06:36:52 +0000 UTC]

I see. But when you erase the pencil lines, some of the colored pencil lines gets erased somewhat too. So I'm guessing you'd have to go over it again carefully with the colored pencil, right?

And you're welcome.

Ricku In reply to Fantasy-Fashionista [2014-01-14 07:22:45 +0000 UTC]

Well, you see, I do the coloured lines as I erase pencil lines. So it pretty much goes like this: sketch by pencil -> erase -> coloured pencil lines. The sketching is to help me get a better view on what I'm doing and once I've done that, I erase it little by little as I replace it with colours. :3 It do a lot of switching between drawing and erasing at that point.

Alrighty, thanks! And yeah, it's just most of my ideas are more fit for digital work. (And look better digitallly) but I'll try to come up with stuff for traditional. xD

Thanks, I began doing digital work more, so I guess I'm just more comfortable with it. But I still have a TON to improve with digital though!

Ricku In reply to Fantasy-Fashionista [2014-01-15 20:23:38 +0000 UTC]

I agree. XD It could cause people to appreciate art even less than now, so that would be a big downfall... :'D Still, it would be nice to stress less over art.

Fantasy-Fashionista In reply to Ricku [2014-01-15 22:18:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's true. >.< But for me, I just wish hands were easier. They're always my least favorite part to draw. :-\ They anger me like crazy when I can't get 'em just right. DX And I've looked at tons of hand tutorials.

Ricku In reply to Fantasy-Fashionista [2014-01-16 06:22:23 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, I know exactly what you mean... Interesting thing is, I think most artists struggle with hands the most. I don't think even toes are as hard to draw. :'D Even though hands are what you probably see most during the day, they're still so impossible! That's probably one reason why beginner artists (also when I was among them) draw hands behind the back or make up any reason to hide them. I don't blame anyone for doing so. :'D

Fantasy-Fashionista In reply to Ricku [2014-01-16 06:24:30 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! I really hate them DX I'm very tempted to do that a lot, but I HAVE to practice, I NEED to get good at them DX It's insane how more skillful artists make them look so dang easy to draw >:C

Ricku In reply to Fantasy-Fashionista [2014-01-16 07:04:15 +0000 UTC]

I feel ya there. :'D I'm trying to practice a lot with them, too. Been taking me years to get where I am now... XD It's kind of sad. But yeah, it's annoying sometimes to read comics when the artist draws the hands so well in each panel. Good for them, of course, but damnit!

Fantasy-Fashionista In reply to Ricku [2014-01-16 12:38:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, there was a time I stopped drawing, and then when I decided to get back into it, my skills were really rusty, so I pretty much had to start from zero all over again, it's taken me years too. >.<

And yeah, I get so envious when their hands are better than mine!! DX Wonder how many more years it'll take me to finally get good at hands...SIGH!!! -.-

Aww, man, that certainly sucks. :C Drawing is something you have to keep doing so you keep your skills intact. Even when you don't feel like doing it, but I can understand how it is. I've stopped drawing for longer periods of time, too, but they were only half a year at best. Sometimes you just don't feel like it!


Exactly my thoughts, dear... =/
