Aw, thanks so much! Though I just realized, you should probably ask *Autumn-Sacura too, considering that she drew the lines.

Aw, thank you so much! Yeah, FFIV needs more fanart in general. I love the older FFs, but they get so little attention these days.

Perfect colors for Rosa! You managed to give it a soft feel while still keeping it detailed. Nice effects like the soft fades and white shine.

Well, this is =Autumn-Sacura 's lineart that I colored with permission, so I can't really take credit for a lot of that... I just added the color.

I think the colors are great. To me the coloring is beautiful. I wish I could give you more tips to the tablet other than just play with it...but I just got mine.

Good luck.

uhhhh, this is your first time with a tablet?

You shoulda saw my first time...



Only thing i don't like is how theres no real defenition of color as far as solidity in the foreground, but that may be intentional.

squidlarkin In reply to The-Paradox-Box [2009-07-03 07:47:55 +0000 UTC]

I will admit, I've watched and practically memorized a lot of photoshop tutorials over the years, and was frustrated because none of their methods worked for me. I now realize it's because those methods are meant for using a tablet.

It was kinda intentional, but I probably should have used more solid colors...

But thank you~!

Rushifa [2009-07-01 01:33:18 +0000 UTC]

I think the coloring looks really good so far! It has that kind of washed out look that reminds me kinda of Loddoss Wars or something.

With the tablet, I agree with the idea of doing a sketch my hand, scanning it in, and then "inking" it with the tablet. It'll give you something to go off of, and will help you get used to forming coherent lines and stuff. Basically, practice, practice, practice!

BatwingDarling [2009-06-30 23:42:06 +0000 UTC]

Looking fantastic so far! I can't believe this is only your first time coloring with a tablet! Even if you don't feel used to it yet, I think you're going to get the hang of it in no time.

As far as tablet tips go, personally, the way I got used to drawing with my tablet at first was by taking line art I had already drawn in pencil, then scanning it onto the computer and tracing over it with the tablet in photoshop. That way I could get used to drawing the same way with the tablet as I would with a traditional medium. And now I can draw with the tablet alone, almost as well as I can with pencil.

squidlarkin In reply to BatwingDarling [2009-07-01 00:11:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
Well maybe I shouldn't say first time with a tablet... I've done doodles before, but they were so awful I erased them as fast as I could. But I definitely learned a whole lot from this.

You know, that tracing thing sounds like a really good idea. Coloring lines was already so much easier than drawing something from scratch.

I've found that using pastel colors can make many things instantly more classy-looking. It almost feels like cheating. ;;;

I'm glad you like the shading. I'll admit, I've been a tad afraid that I didn't go dark enough.

paladinwillsteel In reply to squidlarkin [2009-07-01 00:42:21 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome; and never be afraid to use what works - so long as it isn't really cheating.

I think you did excellent on the coloring job - it looks like one of those pretty pastel (or whatever the term is) pictures with the faded colors.

As for tablet skills, I don't even have a tablet so I can't even begin to contemplate critiquing your technique.
