Description Just what the title says.

A couple people have asked me about the glowing effect I used for the Will Lines, so I decided to try my hand at a tutorial! If there's anything I can do to improve on these things in the future, let me know.

This works great for other things too, of course! Like lightsabers.

Well. . . uhm. . I just kinda' bullshitted this, to be honest. I made a big grayish/purplish rectangle, and then a lighter grayish/purple rectangle inside it, then put all the text boxes and steps in there.

Thank You So Much!![link] I'm so computer illiterate it's scary. (And to think I first went to college 4 computer science). Doing traditional art calms my nerves. Ready to learn and pull my hair out.[link] Wish me luck.
p.s. By the way, thank you for the fav!

No problem, I'm glad this has been able to help people! I'd never done a tutorial before, so I wasn't sure if I was specific enough. xD
And it's all good, not everyone's great with Digital Stuff.

Good Luck!

well, i would like to know wich outfit do you like the most, so i can draw her correctly :3

Catherine-Cairo In reply to BlackBerryJelly [2011-07-08 02:47:05 +0000 UTC]

The outfit I normally have her wear is the Female Mercenary Top, and Highwayman Trousers/Boots. I took some artistic liberties with her physical features though, like her hairstyles.

I have a super messy sketch of my unfinished reference sheet for her in my Scraps. It's a few months old, but maybe it can help you. xD

can you give me how is it? >.<

Catherine-Cairo In reply to BlackBerryJelly [2011-07-09 03:54:38 +0000 UTC]

To be honest, I'm still trying to figure that out myself-- I haven't gotten around to coloring them much-- but the sword is silver and kind of a coppery color where the runes are.
You can sorta' see it in the second panel of the Meme I did.

how do you get such smooth lines

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Catherine-Cairo In reply to goldenheartedgirl [2011-06-14 04:16:28 +0000 UTC]

To be honest, I just re-draw them until I'm satisfied with them. I'm just incredibly anal about stuff like that. It's really all in how you hold your wrist, though-- and the faster you are, the less shaky it turns out. Your linework actually isn't half bad, though. Just keep practicing, you'll get it. c:
