Description Beware of text walls!

Just to make sure. This little project was done during the last two months (slow I know, but I really hadn’t that much free-time lately ;_;').

It started mainly as a flash practice I did to test out some new things. Still I ended up putting too much effort into it. ||OTL
Experimented with different techniques and gimmicks which I may use for my next serious interactive comic (…) I just did to spam your inboxes. *cough cough*
Ah well, well so I’m not sure whether this “Tutorial” will be helpful. But I added some little extras to make the read a bit more enjoyable.
And I really had fun doing the layout (ha ha took me probably the longest besides the programming).

Lust but not least. This little comic is dedicated to my friend ~Yumaki , since the painting is part of her epic fan book project. And also I want sent many hugs to my watchers. Really thanks for being there and supporting me.


Stay tuned and healthy everyone.


Edit. Oh - my - god! Seriously all of you are just awesome. <3 ;A;
I'm totally awestrucked right now... Awww really thank you for all the nice feedback.

Edit2. Holy cow! A DD?!! You guys rock, THANKS!!!

Perfect tutorial! I've been using SAI for some time now and it's a pretty good alternative to Photoshop *gets shot*

Thanks, friend!

DragonOlong In reply to JacobsonBlackwaters [2012-01-08 18:31:45 +0000 UTC]

Honestly I just think the same. SAI is a nice program for drawing.
Thanks!

Thank you for the tutorial! Is easy to understand and very clear . It has always amazed me how someone can do a beautiful drawing from some rough lines...

Personally, I like learning how other artists make their pictures by reading their tutorials or watching their walktroughs. You can always learn some techniques that will help you developing your own style from them.
I've never worked with SAI(mon) , though. Maybe I should give it a try. It looks easier to use than Photoshop.

DragonOlong In reply to aeriaciel [2012-01-08 13:56:43 +0000 UTC]

Aww, aeriaciel you're kind comment totally made my day. Thank you very much dear.
And I thinkn just the same, I like to watch the wips of other artist. You can learn so much from them and I'm glad you liked my little tutorial as well. And you should try SAI(mon) XD - it's more intuitive I think. ^^
Ah also happy new year.
