Description
A short-shortie I wanted to draw because...I wanted to draw naked Scrafty XDAfter more than 7 months of drawing in Photoshop I realized how to do clear shading and save way more time.
I'M SUCH ANTI-PRO >:I
I was kidding...a bit; finally I've got how my realistic Pokemon comic should be- after this little extra comic
I understood how I should work to draw at good amount of time, because I started drawing such a long story comic
being too serious.
This is like 1/5 what I've got in my head about Zuzy having some memories of past or not-so-old-past, but the full thought will be put into the right comic,
here I choosed something that makes great connect to the moral and physical pain...just my addictiong to trying
to be creative everywhere I can even I'm doing an exaggeration
About this exercise: I'm glad how Weirda's skirt(ot trousers....well) came out, same goes for Mienshao.
However, after I've done basic coloring and went into shading, adding great amount of layers, I realized the composition is quite awkward...but my computer
started to pant XD I was had to leave it and not correct; it's just an exercise...I'll focus on composition in future and especially backgrounds!
Backgrounds...sometimes I have an idea how it should look, but 90% of time I don't >.<

Looks like you're trying to draw every single hair on everyone's head. Strangely, the more hairs you draw, the thinner the hairstyle looks. Try giving it a dark base and then add some strands, but not too many.

It's because I used to when I was drawing them traditionally. Furthermore, to make base color(so the shape of hair) I found this way as the best,because hair brushes are not making hair as I like, they're good only for shading.
I'll try
Thank you very much for this comment, I am artist amatheur so I appreciate this so much

I don't like hair and fur brushes, too. They make hair strands look too uniform. And I don't want it to be too obvious what brushes I used, like, when I examine some art and think: "So this is texture, and here's this photoshop filter, and these trees are made with one and the same leaves brush and simply copy-pasted - couldn't they at least paint several trees and/or flip 'em horizontally?" Maybe I'm too lazy to make good brushes, and it's not that easy in Paint Tool SAI, so I just grab a brush and adjust its settings to make it thin and flowy and maybe blending a little, or sometimes I don't care about blending and simply use a few half-transparent layers. You could use such layers and the lineart would serve as the darkest part, while you add the base above it, and then lighter strands, and play with layer blending a little. It's important that the dark strands should be covered with the base so that they're not as black as the rest of the lineart. I like to add random bright highlights when a picture's nearly finished, they make things so vivid, especially the hair and eyes.
P.S. I know you know it, but you need to study people, especially the faces. Your beasts have style while the humans don't. I'm not saying you have to go and draw portraits, it's boring, but reading Christopher Hart about comics drawing, learning some anatomy and looking closely at Disney princesses might do. I'm saying that 'cos I like Disney style, you know - relatively simple and pretty-looking. It's too damn easy to make a human face ugly: a wrinkle too deep, and bam! the characrer looks 10 years older. I once wanted to make sketches based on a nice lookin' gentleman from a music video, the one who was singing, so I made screenshots and tried to outline the face. The results didn't look like that man at all! Rendering his face in comic style turned out okay, though. Watch more cartoons, hehe.

Hair brushses I've found and tested makes hair look so transparent and blurry...it would be perfect for making them like in sunlight(when you look at them from the view looking straight to lightsource...I'm sorry for so bad explanation of this
oh ya, I totally understand you. I am so afraid of the day when I will have to start putting textures instead of painting....but many professional artist do
especially for concept art.
hmmmm....you work in Paint Tool SAI while I work in Photoshop CS4. I don't know if blending can be succesfully done- even if, might I do it sometimes, might son't- I DON'T KNOW....! -_-'
I'll try your technique, but I don't promise I'll do it like you describe- might I will not get your advice right(because might I see it in my head different than you)
aaand....my habits. Sometimes I try to get over it, but I can't.
I knoooow I should study them....but I cannot push myself; it's best for e to work on what I feel mood for.
I can focus on it truly.
Even if I want draw humans like twice per year, I can tell you something really sad that happened to me few times on studies:
Someone can point me something, tell me where I should focus and correct,but I...look like at an empty space. My eyes simply doesn't see it...!
You don't know how dumb I felt few times while drawing lesson. I wasn't able to see what my tutor meant.
Our tutor from second year luckily noticed that and sometimes just told me I should draw an outline there and there or lighten a part to give it a depht, visible material form.
I sometimes work on humans like machine

As far as I know, Photoshop doesn't do much about smoothing lines, so it must've trained your hand, while after SAI's smoothing I can't make a straight pencil line and always want to press CTRL-Z whenever I make a sloppy line 
Photoshop blends quite okay if you paint with a half-transparent brush. I've heard smudge tool can be good for painting fur or short hair (but not for blending). Of course you don't need to do as I say, it's just that I know some "lifehacks" about these programs and like to share the knowledge. You can ask things if you want, I don't get many comments to answer anyway.
Do you like anthro? It might be helpful for learning human anatomy while not exactly drawing humans. Won't be helpful for learning noses and ears, tho. I wanna draw some anthro pokemon (and not gijinka) but gosh, I'm so slow with my arts and can't even make myself draw every day, seems like there's some psychic energy limit for that.

Dear, you don't know how many time I press CTRL-Z
heheheh...haha...heh. :<
Because I am perfectionist and my sketches started to be too messy and I used too much of eraser. Now after drawing/sketchig
digitally I can draw better
Oil painting is awesome to me, I love it! But as for now, I am too poverty-stricken to buy necessay materials for exercises; materials for studies costed me a lot
and if I get some money I invest into my family.
I like, but only out of curiosity. As far I know they're like Aegyptian gods
I 'feel' the human body structure, even drawing hands. The only problem is face.
Do you mean you're exhausted to focus and draw?

The main reason I like digital painting is because it doesn't need any materials. And there's no paint spots anywhere, no need to wash brushes, no pictures accidentally ruined... Well, sometimes you might forget to make a new layer, but it can be corrected easier than on canvas. But the latter has texture, and a "real" painting is more useful than a picture in the Internet. You can't even make a proper print out of it unless it's bigger than 2000 px. You have to be exceptionally great artist to have a job as a digital painter, but as a "real" one it might be easier. I saw advertisments for some artist's exhibition, and his works looked really sloppy. Bleh! Sure my first oil painting will look better than that, for I'm perfectionist as well.
Well, when I can't draw it's mostly because I'm feeling empty and my subconscious refuses to turn on - and it's the part that does most of the work. I can still do flat colors in that state, but as I work with very little reference, I rely on imagination a lot. I prefer to build my own reality rather than follow a reference, because this way everything fits in. You might've seen pictures with a real photo used as a background for a cartoonish character - looks just terrible to me. But I can accept characters even with strangest anatomy, like Adventure Time dudes with their jointless wobbly limbs, when they fit in their own world of cel shading and no bone structure. It's okay when nothing's shaded at all, but if you shade a character, you have to give at least a hint of shading in the background... Oh, I've wondered far away from the original topic. Truth is, sometimes I'm too lazy even to determine a light source in a picture, so things have depth but don't cast much shadow. Maybe it looks okay only for me and others are used to realistic shadows, though I often see pictures that look somewhat flat but great anyway.

Haha, no właśnie to m.in. mi się podoba w tych Twoich komiksach, ot taka codzienna interakcja z poksami, która faktycznie uroczo wygląda. 8D

"zuzy's background" do you mean her past? or her personality, what she's thinking?

So get A LOT of patience, Dear.
It's going to be shown in "gate of betweenworlds" and in the second half of comic.

I guess I'll just wait, then.

Zuzy could just claw her hair smooth... but as with Maroon, it's nice to have a friend groom for you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She doesn't even need this. There are not many Pokemons that really needs grooming, rather those more domesticated with a lot of fur.
I believe...
But Zuzy likes to borrow Weirda's comb.
Aww, surely it's so nice ^^
Sigh, honestly always when spring comes I miss my dog, I was always responsible to groom her old winter fur to help her get faster the less dense layer of fur;
I was leaving fur tufts ~10 metres away and wait to observe how birds are tooking them as material for their nests

Heehee. Geena adores getting brushed, and Maroon, who always reminds Jay how wild he is, is a 'pushover' (Łatwizna?) when she holds a brush and starts to comb his fur!
Gee gets brushed regularly because she doesn't burrow as much as rural, wild 'drills do. Grooming does the same thing for her fur that earth would do as she dug through the soil. Her fur is short and velvetty, but the brush scratches her skin underneath just right and grooming removes skin flakes, old hair and so on.
To be honest, digging would probably be better for her...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe that pushover indeed means "łatwizna", I haven't read anything with "pushover" word yet, so I cannot even guess its meaning....
So Geena doesn't have a will to dig for fun?
aww, so good she likes Furry, because this 'drill loves to check the ground in every new place it visits with Weirda by digging into it,
so might that's why his fur is so velvet.
Not every ground is good, however, too damp and full of roots is definitely not the favourite one for 'drills, it can even harm them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It can slow down their digging certainly - and wet ground is hated by all 'drills. But roots in normal soil aren't a big problem if they drill-burrow right through them.
I know 'drills don't always drill-burrow, though.
Does Furry dig for edible roots sometimes..? *yum!*
One thing I definitely know - Geena loves food! But she's an urban Excadrill and is good at eating the wrong kind of food...
Jay learnt from Brock how pokemon should eat. She eats healthily too, and takes Gee out on regular trips into the country. Gee loves the walking but this isn't good for her feet over big distances (since she's designed to dig!). So Jay ordered her some boots. Now Gee's discovered Furry it should be easier to get her to explore in the same way he does.
Gee's got a winter outfit for wandering in:
