Wow, thanks for the tutorial, I've been having loads of trouble with metal anyway. Thanks! You've really helped me. Plus, the picture that You used for the tutorial is amazing on its own. XD

Darkenmarr In reply to SyrianKanachi [2009-05-19 15:34:35 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome.

I have SO many problems with metals, but I'm learning.

thanks you! Odd is one of my first characters that I created... he's going to be going through an over-haul here real soon. ^.^

SyrianKanachi In reply to Darkenmarr [2009-05-19 22:21:29 +0000 UTC]

You did this a year ago or so right? Or.. awhile ago. I just started drawing like 7 months ago.

Heheh, Syrian's gone through quite a few overhauls. And I'm finally happy-ish with his current look. I could draw so much better I think though.

Darkenmarr In reply to SyrianKanachi [2009-05-19 22:31:27 +0000 UTC]

I believe so. ^.^ But Odd has been around for 5-ish years? [link]

I've been drawing for Forever! thanks to my mom encouraging me, but I think I've finally actually started getting good. ^.^

there are characters that have to go through alot of development until you are happy with them. Like zapper [link]

It just takes a lot of patience and time.

SyrianKanachi In reply to Darkenmarr [2009-05-19 22:43:12 +0000 UTC]

Wow. I've only drawn some of my characters once or twice. I probably draw Syrian the most... But there's still some characters i need to draw..

I've only been drawing for about 7 months or so, mainly because i got stuck in this art/english class, and i started to draw. I was pure crap at first, and i often got upselt with myself. But I've gotten better, yet it still looks like crap. xD

Darkenmarr In reply to SyrianKanachi [2009-05-20 01:41:29 +0000 UTC]

when you're starting out you'll only draw them a couple times and as you get better you'll be drawing them more. ^.^

So... was it kind of a forced learning how to draw situation than and you just got drawn in, or is it something that you've actually been wanting to get into?

SyrianKanachi In reply to Darkenmarr [2009-05-20 01:50:52 +0000 UTC]

Yea, but i don't draw Logan because he doesn't have a character design. D:

Well... it was more like, forced drawing, than i was like, "bah, this looks TERRIBLE!! I'm going to learn how to draw better!"

But i never actually "drew" for like 2 months after that.

I was retarded and was recoloring over images, nothing found on DA. I was a Sonic the Hedgehog freak. Majorly. So i had my own characters like the rest of the entire fan-dom, and i wanted to learn how to draw, so i wouldn't get persecuted by youtubes many trolls. XD

It's a retarded story, but its true. Now i have a tablet, and i feel like I can draw... somewhat. Not really.

that's when you make one.

That's atleast a start. you need to begin somewhere.

Trolls! I hate them. They're here on DA too. Beware! Roar!

I love my tablet.

Can't think of a hairstyle. D:

Yea, I do. But i think its kinda a crappy one. but i don't recolor anymore, which is good.

Gah, i hate them, but all i do is ignore them. And... surprisingly, I haven't run into Trolls here.

Same here. I cant draw with a mouse for crap. XD

Darkenmarr In reply to SyrianKanachi [2009-05-21 16:29:14 +0000 UTC]

That's when you do alot of research and see what inspires you. ^.^

You will. There's way to much drama.

SyrianKanachi In reply to Darkenmarr [2009-05-21 22:44:37 +0000 UTC]

I should...

Gah. ah well. I'll find a way around them. DA bans their url though.

Darkenmarr In reply to SyrianKanachi [2009-05-22 18:34:57 +0000 UTC]

sometimes... most of the time DA can't catch them and so when you see them you have to report them.

research... I'm addicted to research. =3

I understand what you're saying though if you're just staying there for a short time and you're waiting for the other person.

VERY useful, OMG I'm so grateful for this trick. <3 (Referring to the lineart) The great thing is, I can use this in GIMP, and I've tested it for even pencil-outlined drawings. <333 Nyuuu, thank you so much for posting this tutorial, it'll help my art a LOT. I love the coloring job you did, by the way. ^_^

where can I find the gaussian blur?? I've never heard of it..

Darkenmarr In reply to PoldeyLove [2008-03-25 17:27:49 +0000 UTC]

do you have photoshop? that would help. >.<

if you do go under the filter menu -> blur -> gaussian blur. than you can adjust the settings to just how much you want it to blur. I like to use this for "field of depth"

Ya... I suppose that would be the best way to find it.

It's still not real popular so it'll be at the bottom of the list. If you need another tutorial just let me know. I'm wanting to make alot but I'm running out of ideas on what to teach people.

Let me know.

Yay!! a link! *click*
