Description At least, here's the first part of the tutorial I've been working on.
This part explains about how to sketch and draw the concept pic, scan, and clean for CGing later.

Thanks to Nami, who tested the tutorial (I was a little worried since it's the first one I do )

I'm now finishing the 2nd part, wich is about the digital coloring.
Well, hope it helps.

NOTE: If you don't want to sketch with colored pencils, you can as well do it with normal ones, then scan and turn the sketch lines into color in photoshop (image > adjust > channel mixer > constant to the max. Then you can further adjust colors with image > adjust > hue/saturation). Then print it, and continue the process.

OMG... I used this tutorial and things that would usually take me an hour to draw only took me like 15 minutes to do. This tutorial was a big help, thank you sooo much! I think you've just helped me make a huge step in my drawing talent.

Very helpful, The inking on the computer takes a long time and this seems cleaner and more affective. This shall come in handy next time I ink Thanks for the tutorial.

Celsa In reply to KurumiTatsuki [2008-04-08 16:58:45 +0000 UTC]

XDDD That's for sure. I bought a lightbox back in the first year as we had to ink a lot. Then I learned this and now I hardly use it... And it was so expensive T_T

KurumiTatsuki In reply to Celsa [2008-04-14 13:50:46 +0000 UTC]

lightbox was expensive? I wanted to get one but someone told me to get one you gotta ask a carpenter to make for you one!

I've actually started to ink on tracing paper! XD Its really fun! You shuold try it one day

Celsa In reply to KurumiTatsuki [2008-04-15 16:44:25 +0000 UTC]

It seems they started selling them not long ago (at least here), but they're expensive... If you lived around here, I would lend you mine, since I barely use it ......

Isn't that paper very thin? Doesn't it breaks? O_o

I got the thick type! So its quite thick and it absorbs nicely

Akashi In reply to Celsa [2007-04-13 14:20:45 +0000 UTC]

Aw, I was missed? I know, I know... I've been having mainly problems with my computer (had to erase all my files, all of them! T_T) and I've been also working in some projects... which were all erased as wel but kept me busy for a while. But thankfully, they were just for fun... though I did put quite a bit of effort at doing them. :/

I'll perhaps be busy this weekend but I'll try to comment on every reply/deviation I missed. And perhaps put up some of the sketches I did.. which I notice now they've got lot of anatomy errors. How come I can't notice them while I'm drawing yet three days later it's like "zomg, the eyes are way too apart from eachother!", etc... ~_~

XDDD Sure you was XDD Ah... comps are evil.. Did you had to completely reset it? That's why I always burn a DVD with my works... You should do the same.

XDD That happens often. You got so involved in the pic, that you end up not seeing it XDDD In those cases is good to ask someone else for correction XDD

jo qué bien lo manejas *-*
a mi aún no me carrula el scaner... y tengo un montón de dibujos sin subir >_<* (cosa que no contribuye a mi vuelta a dA xDDu)
tú sí que haces muchos bocetos antes de pasarlo al ordenador... yo a veces los dejo sin limpiar xDD por eso quedan mal >:
gracias por el tutorial, así no tendré problemas la próxima vez xDD :3 (ya no me acuerdo mucho de lo que me dijeras por msn T3T;, soy penosa u__uUu)

Celsa In reply to Reisuka [2007-03-18 17:59:58 +0000 UTC]

XDD Gracias ^^

XD No tantos. Si tengo una idea muy clara y queda bien a la primera, lo dejo.
XDDD Bueno, el tutorial va a seguir ahi, asi que si se te olvida algo le puedes echar un vistazo XDDDD

Ah, ahora que me acuerdo; mira a ver si consigues subir AI Buster al torrent. Que ya ni me acordaba.

Y otra cosa; ayer estaba escuchando la OST especial que pusimos con la novela, y me he fijado que el tema de Endrance de la OST de GU 1, es una versión del de Elk en la OST especial. Hay gente que aun duda de si En es Elk... XD (la verdad es que hasta que no haya confirmación oficial nada es seguro, pero bueno. me parece curioso XDD)

Reisuka In reply to Celsa [2007-03-21 18:43:52 +0000 UTC]

De nada ^w^

xDDD ahh ok
Síi siempre contaré con él xPP (al menos que dA se ponga de malas y no se pueda acceder a la página hasta que terminen de hacer cosas u.u pero bueno ese es otro caso xDDu)

T__TU yo tampoco me acordaba.. si no te importa... lo miro hoy un poco y lo termino de ver la semana que viene porque mañana me voy de viaje a Inglaterra con el colegio T3T así que tendré poco tiempo para conectarme u__u... lo siento >__<**!!

aandá o.o xDDDD es demasiada coincidencia... tiene que ser él a la fuerza, por mucho que digan los que no lo creen. Y si no es él, un hermano, ... o se basaron en Elk para hacer su personaje xDDD pero la obsesión de En-sama por su gato se parece mucho a la de Elk por Mia O:~ ...y eso, entre muchas cosas más que comparten x__xUu

Ya.... a veces DA da un poco de asco :/ Dejando el mantenimiento, falla mucho...

XD No pasa nada. Yo ya no me acordaba. La verdad, la gente que se dedica a eso (los fansub y demás), o no tienen vida social, o tienen mucho tiempo libre..... :/

La verdad es que la mayoría dan por hecho que son el mismo, pero hay gente que no se fía. Yo, hasta que no lo digan oficialmente, no lo puedo afirmar, pero es la opción más probable.

Por cierto, en EBGames, tienen G.U. vol 2 fechado mara el 8 de mayo. Aunque no sea exacto, será aproximado. Aun no se sabe si va a haber edición especial.

Reisuka In reply to Celsa [2007-04-06 11:15:35 +0000 UTC]

xDDD yap..

Ya volví xPu a ver si puedo echarle un vistazo ahora @.@
xDDD aunque a veces envidio su tiempo libre... ya que a mí casi siempre me falta @_@; o no sé usar bien el mio jaja xDu

xDDD a veces los rumores encajan bien en la historia y por eso siempre hay alguien que no se fía de esas cosas :S pero yo esta vez sí xD

8 de mayo? -______-U lentos...
no me quiero ni imaginar cuánto tendréis que esperar para el vol3 los que quieran la edición americana xDDD (y los que quieran la edición europea... tela :/)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Celsa In reply to Reisuka [2007-04-07 15:42:30 +0000 UTC]

XDD Yo tampoco. Casi siempre acabo jugando a la consola en mi tiempo libre, o dibujando (lo cual casi es peor, porque se supone que estoy descansando de dibujar XDDD)

XDDD Bueno, en cuestion de rumores, lo más absurdo que he oido ultimamente es que Haseo es Sora. Segun dicen, lo pone en la guia oficial. En mi opinion, o es un error de la guia, o de los creadores (que es peor). Si Haseo fuera Sora, sabria lo de Aura, las fases, los comas, conoceria mejor The World..... vale que la gente cambie con el tiempo, pero.... que se te olvide media vida?

Ni idea. Dicen que es que querían sincronizar la salida del juego con la emision de cierto capitulo de Roots para evitar spoilers.... pero a saber. No se que va a pasar con el 3.
En cuanto a europa, cada vez veo más posible que se esperen a que salgan los 3 en america....

Reisuka In reply to Celsa [2007-04-10 18:14:52 +0000 UTC]

xDDDD bueno eso significa que te gusta mucho dibujar... y a veces hasta es mejor porque así descansas de dibujar algo que te mandaran :S

Jajajajaja!! Sí?? ...xD en fin...
Con los rumores toooooooooooodo es posible incluso que con los comas se elimine la memoria de la gente <3 -__-;; Sora no me caía mal, pero tampoco me caía bien... así que espero que Haseo no sea el T__T;;
ya puestos... Ovan es... Lios :/ yo que sé xDD una burrada de estas...

Pero en América están emitiendo ya Roots?o_o
XDDD ahora que lo dices, creo que tienes mucha razón... ojalá tenga éxito por allá que sino la gente de aquí se queda sin poder jugar D: o tendremos que esperar muchísimo para ello... ;;;
