Hey dude. Nice work with those. Don't know what else to say. later!.
|
This is one of the few time that I actually see your colored piece, but why Oekaki? The newest one is shaping up to be pretty good looking. :3 Although how you are coloring are fairly conservative (as in being careful, as oppose to "bold"), although I guess its hard to take chances with Oekakis. Unfortunately, I don't think there are some of the direct bitmap line tool in some of the advence graphic software as do in Oekaki.

For my choice of oekaki, I'm a lot more used to the interface and method of coloring on it moreso than I am on major graphics programs. Its ok though, I'll probably start CGing in programs like Photoshop a lot more now that I'm getting the hang of it. But yeah, since there aren't many of the advanced options in oekaki, its a bit more difficult to really go crazy with the coloring. |
Yo ultima, finally decided to post your stuff here eh. Well, it seems that you've been practicing a lot. The latest ones you showed are a bit better compared to the early works I saw. (must be the yaoi)
Anyways, word of advice, don't stop drawing. Don't stop. Remember, you don't want to draw, you NEED to draw. |
Looking at my old sketchbooks makes me cry.

Old traditional color piece. Colored with colored pencil. http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5...0002ua4.th.jpg Color pencil testing. Didn't do much with this, didn't even ink it. Very sloppy, but pretty much shows the extent of my traditional coloring skills. http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/861...0004yo2.th.jpg Something I inked today. Still need to do the lines a bit nicer but its coming along. Going to CG this one. Pretty much just wanted to show you guys (read:Magi) that I do color. I don't color often, but I color. Sadly, what I do color doesn't really look that great. Definitely going to take a lot of time to improve my traditional color and CG coloring skills so that I can have complete-looking works to show. |
Its kinda weird not seeing the line going into her groin area but come out on the stomach. Did I gave the right advice last time? I think since you eliminated the line that is use to describe the topography of her crotch area, it probably redundant to put it near her stomach. Although overall, I think it looks pretty good. :3 I like your hands too, even though it is kinda big, those are really good girl hands. >_< Which I seem to have trouble with. |
|
Looking good, keep it up. :3 Are you using photoshop? Did you seperate it into layers? Have you decided on the light source yet? How are you planning on shading it?

Hm, interesting. I see you are doing some different poses (second sketch on the top in particular), that is good. Experiment with the body build up a little. Although I am wondering, do you have the hobbit of finding reference for poses that you are unsure of? It really helps sometimes, and when you are comfortable with certain angle with some practice, you won't need to find reference for specific poses anymore.

I'm trying to do more action-ish, movement-ish poses in order to learn, so yes. I want to start my manga but since its a lot of action, I don't want to start it prematurely.
I've also been doing lots of sketches of characters I might use, just kind of creating the characters as I go along. I have more stuff but I'll scan it in later. And yes, I very much do want to graduate. :p |
I'm really impressed with the way you improved since last year. I like those recent sketches especially (1st, 3rd, 4th-6th). The 4th one is my favorite.
Though the scanning for that colored Krue picture doesnt really do much justice (Its a bit discolored). It looks alot better in real life. :) Dont really know what else to say. You're never around anymore at school so, draw more :'> Lol, graduation. |

i love your style (especially digital paintings) but at times i feel like the characters limbs are just a little stiff jointed or the poses aren't exactly right. just work on that (i admit, it is the hardest part of art), and it'll be perfect!! i really want to see your style of painting too (watercolours blah D:< needs more acrylics!!! blends nicer and looks cooler, and is a little easier to handle)
|
Two new sketches. Very sketchy sketches that need work. Planning on using them in a piece when I get time though.

I like the top one. Your anatomy has improved, though I think they still need work, especially on foreshortening/perspective/diff. views/or something.
|
you've got some nice sketches.
The top one looks like yuna. The bottom one I like better because of the facial expression. |

I really like that "Yield 65%" thing; she has a great body, but the arm just looks wrong. The upper arm tapers too much, the forearm looks like it has been whittled down, and the hand seems far too big. I like the overall style though, with the hair covering the face.

The coloring is better here, although I'm still annoyed at her crotch. It's like she's flat there or something. Don't blame it on tight pants cause those would only accentuate the line from thight to crotch to thigh.
Greater contrast in skin tone and more tones overall would've been nice. And uh... you could always just copy and paste the circles..... |
Took a Wii break. I'll fix those things more towards 6am-ish because there are some things bothering me too.

Had a chance to work on it before I sent it out to Carnegie-Mellon. I have 3 hours to work before I have to send it out to Drexel, although I don't know if the big post office is open today... The new piece kind of rings more incomplete to me than the old piece did, but it does look better. I need to add more lighting/shading to Krue and blend the mountains better, and it will look much more complete. As soon as CS3 finishes reinstalling, this will happen. After almost 22 hours straight of drawing, I did get some sleep last night. A decent amount too. But it begins once again....

I know you have lots and lots of references and art books. Whatever you have on your computer, anything that you really admire (that has a person in it) open it up in photoshop or whatever. Now use the dropper tool.
Click main skin tone, and hold on to that color. Open another window if you want and brush it on. Then click on shadow tone. Compare shadow with the main skin tone. Now take a look at your painting*, and compare your two contrasting tones. Tell me what you've learned. *It's too late for portfolio sakes, but I was talkin bout river of souls. This is for self improvement. |

Anyway I didn't do what you recommended because you know how I love to rebel.

I don't really want to mess with lineart anymore but it seems I have no choice anymore. |
It's not to copy the tones from the picture. Its to give yourself a smack and realize the large difference.
It's also to show you the different tones on the color wheel. A little purple? Maybe blue. Green? And stop playing those damn games. Your brain is already rotting, you don't need to speed up the process. |

Well, I think you could use a little more mechanical details and textures on some of the parts. The gears and the cog in the back for example, you can probably elaborate it a little as you go. Adding to the visual complexity of the entire image.

I'm questioning my method of coloring hair, but I think it's pretty ok for the most part. Today was about 12 hours of work total. Tomorrow I'll probably add the lighting on the sphereblade and start adding the base colors for the shotgun and cogs. After I do Roiz it'll be smooth sailing. I hope to have it done by Monday. |

Dude, finish it already.
|
10-15 hours? Damn, what's taking so long? I never spend that long coloring anything. Are you using a mouse?
|
I'm slow, it's big. I also will probably have to do the lines again at the end because I have to upscale it by 3-5 times to actually print it. Plus I've never put this much depth into a colored piece before so I'm kind of learning as I go along.
All just excuses, the real answer is I just suck. |
