Description An Oekaki picture of Ty Lee from Nickolodeon's Avatar series.

She came out looking much younger than I wanted, so I'll have to try again later.

Awesome dev! Ty Lee looks so deviously cute. She's like: "I'm gonna getcha!"

Wow, I just love how you highlight hair! How do you now which colors to choose to highlight and shade? (obviously something lighter and darker , but still, how do you choose them?)

Thanks!

About drawing the hair: I drew the base shade (the darkest color), using the hard edged pencil tool. Then I added a new layer and drew a Z pattern in the hair following the line of the hair, in a lighter shade of the base shade (the medium color), again with the pencil tool. Add a third layer, and using a fuzzy brush tool draw a line across the Z, in an almost white shade. The next part requires patience. Using a hard edged eraser tool erase the color on the third layer that lies over the darkest color. I hope that this makes sense.

Wow, that sounds really complicated. I sort of understand (though I'm not really familiar with the tools (or maybe I know what they are, I just never caught the name for them )). I'm sure lots of layers is what makes you tick! And that's just the hair! You have some real passion and talent to produce those images! Go you! I'd probably stop at the hair and just have some random hair floating around... And that might scare small children.

Thanks! Come over and see me sometime, and I'll show you what I did. (hint: it involves having patience, and using the erase function a lot)

You assume the eraser functions work for me again. Not that I'm bitter about my last experience. Oh, no, not me. Grrr...

I was really, really hoping that the eraser was working for you again!

I actually haven't had a chance to go try again. I'm just still whining about it.

Give me a D! Give me a R! Give me a A! Give me a W! That spells DRAW! You can do it, yes you can! As Obi Wan would say, "believe in the Force - the eraser will work!"

I think it is cute that she looks younger. Go Ty Lee! I absolutely love the highlights in her hair too. Those are amazing. Great work!

Thanks! I like the way the picture looks. I just wish that I had planned on her looking that young. Oh well...it must be one of those "happy accidents". I'm glad that you like it!
