Well lately my artwork hasn't been much about TFs, been having a little break, but I'm surely still a fan and my characters will be drawn... 
Keep up working and you'll do great :3

I think it's my new goal in drawing to become as good at drawing transformers as you are (by way of coloring and poses).  You're really good at it and it's inspiring to me   thanks for the tutorial!  It was INCREDIBLY helpful!  Next time I color my OCs I'll be sure to follow your instructions!

I'm happy hear I'm off inspiration to you  
This is just a tutorial for coloring and my style has actually changed since then ... 
Just go with practicing human drawing and poses and you'll be just fine!

How do you draw such straight lines? Is it because you're good at drawing straight lines, or is it because you have a certain angle you prop your drawing tablet up on? I've always been curious as to how you do it.


The way you colour is magnificent!

CuriousCucumber In reply to Notestryder [2014-01-11 20:20:43 +0000 UTC]

Lineart tutorial is on its way ^^ I try to finish it soon so you'll get a better view of my tips

But basically it's loose wrists that is the secret long fast strokes

Meheh we knows your method nao

But would this also work on gimp 2.8?

CuriousCucumber In reply to MingMingcoco [2013-10-06 09:22:57 +0000 UTC]

I think so yes

I've only used gimp a little - but I do believe it would have all the basic tools

CuriousCucumber In reply to Heichukar [2013-10-03 08:46:09 +0000 UTC]

Olen trolli kaikki mitä teen näyttää tosi monimutkaiselta mutta on kuitenkin ihan simppeleitä juttuja 

dodge ja burn vaatii vähän opettelua ettei tuu ylilyöntejä, mut metallin ja hiuksien kans ne toimii tosi hyvin

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Heichukar In reply to CuriousCucumber [2013-10-03 08:57:23 +0000 UTC]

mmh mulle on aina tärkeeetä et se on helppo ja ennenkaikkeee kiva tehä mut koska oon niin nopee niin se ei saa olla mitään monimutkasta ja vaikeeta, plääh kyllästyn semmoseen xD 

joo oon huomannut. Mä en niitä oikeestaan käytä, mutta tosi monissa kuvissa jotku käyttää kyllä vähän liikaa. Mun mielestä ne ei oikeen sovi yksinään pelkiks valoiks ja varjoiks. kamalan näköstä.

Metallia en kauheesti aikasemmin oo piirtänyt koneella niin paha sanoa mutta kokeilen!

CuriousCucumber In reply to Heichukar [2013-10-03 09:18:53 +0000 UTC]

JOo ei nyt liian hankalas pidä hommia vetää XD


Samaa mieltä - ite käytän niitä lähinnä tehostaaan valoja ja varjoja

koska ne on myös nopeita käyttää 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Heichukar In reply to CuriousCucumber [2013-10-03 09:23:22 +0000 UTC]

niin, mulla usein käykin niin jos kokeilen jotain uutta niin menee turhan monimutkaseks ja sit suututtaa

jep, kyllähän ton voi tehdä ihan brushhilakin mutta noissa ei tarvii vaihtaa sitä väriä niin saa nopeemmin ja helpommin sen toimimaan
