@Gemini - XD;;


@Shy - Hmm I take it that you draw too, do you have a gallery or some examples of your art I could look at? Also, what art program do you use? (I'm the only person on Nolani who uses Paint Tool SAI as far as I know.)

It's been a long time since I made a tutorial. Depending on what you want the tutorial to be about I might consider it.

Actually, I don't draw too much due to the fact that I never really like(d)/am satistfied with my art. So sadly, no I really don't have a gallery to show :/

And I use Photoshop/Gimp mainly, but if i needed to use something else I always could :3 And I mean if it's too much of a trouble, it's np, I'm just trying to find out how people do it xD

I have Photoshop although I quit using it for actual drawing since I got SAI. Never touched gimp and I don't really see a need to, though, since I'm content with the tools I have currently.

Quote: I'm just trying to find out how people do it xD Define "it" !

I draw using very different styles and techniques compared to most people on Nolani. There are a lot of painters here and I use a more precision-based layer approach in comparison.

For cel shading:

1. Base colour on a layer underneath the lineart.
2. Lock the layer.
3. Use a hard-edged brush to block in the shadows.
4. Create additional linked layers as needed to add even darker shadows/highlights. (You can do this on the same layer, but I like putting everything on separate layers in case I decide I don't like how it looks and want to delete it.)


I have no clue how the other artists (especially the painters) on Nolani do it. I'm really anal about colouring within the lines.

If you try out that method, I want to see how it turns out

Heading back home for the weekend -- unless my new tablet comes half a week ahead of time, I'll only be finishing Shenanigan's traditional art commission this weekend.

I'll be bringing my tablet back home for Thanksgiving break, but since the monitor I have at home only goes up to 1280x1024 I won't be working on any *big* commissions.

That's gorgeous :3
I think I'm getting enough money to order a new commission, I'll post later with the form.


Edit: Or not. I don't have ectos or Zkeys, just plat.

So obnoxious its not even funny!

@Shenanigan - I'll complete your commission on Sunday. This was a birthday gift to a guildie.

@inSanity - I do accept plat, it's just not preferred. I wouldn't turn down a commission just because you can't pay in ectos.

@eeks - Stylized anime is a lineart style, not a shading style. xP I'm going to assume you meant cel shading.
