Description
I wish it was spring over here. So I’ve done this springy with petals but with more autumny colours (since it’s autumn at the moment)Yeah so it’s a weird mix. And I got lazy and only did the top bit of the picture.
Critique is welcome!

Irony, it's springtime but the background is a dark shade of gray

indeed, it is. But that's because, although I wish it were spring, it couldn't be further from it.

You're more than welcome!
I wish i was better though. I'm trying my hardest, so i guess that's all that matters..
I just wish i knew how to shade hair and stuff like you do!
I've looked around and i can't find a good beginner's tutorial for Photoshop 7. I find them for markers and stuff, but i hate markers.

Yeah that's right, that and practice!
I've never actually really used photoshop, I got it and it confused me so I never bothered learning. I use openCanvas, which I find easier. Maybe you would too? but it looks like you know photoshop quite well, your uchiha brothers picture came out great!

I always used Paint Shop Pro X, but it was just so hard..
I'm slowly learning how to use photoshop.. But.. In my opinion.. My linearts are keeping my coloring from looking really good..
I mostly wanna learn to draw poses.. More than anything. Well.. Hands too.
I hate hands.
Anyway.. I'll just keep practicing and practicing.
I've only been drawing Anime for.. Uuuh.. 3 or 4 years?
I started drawing Sonic about 5 years ago.. I think.. And.. I picked up anime...

So what trouble are you having with your lineart? Do you draw them in first and scan them or do them on your computer?
Ahh, Sonic, I remember drawing him, too! He's great to start on. I first started drawing anime after Dragonball Z came on... I was an absolute addict!

It's just my style. It stinks.
The lines aren't very pretty.
But yeah, i'll sketch them out, ink them in, then i'll fix them up in Photoshop, then i'll color them.

I think your style's pretty good, but you could always try developing it differently if you don't like how it is.

Sonikki-Valentine In reply to Estherpester [2007-04-26 05:48:10 +0000 UTC]
That's the thing.. I don't know what to do.
I'd love for my style to be pretty like those mangas in Shojo Beat..
Take for instance.. Absolute Boyfriend. (I don't really like Vampire Knight's style...)
Or.. Uhm.. Trinity Blood.. Uh.. And... Mar.. And.. Uuuuh.. Blood Plus..
I love the big anime eyes..
But i just can't ever pull them off..

Estherpester In reply to Sonikki-Valentine [2007-04-26 05:55:07 +0000 UTC]
Well you could always practice drawing with a reference, or even trace until you can draw that style well.
Yeah that's the thing I love most about the anime style - the eyes. (Along with most people, I'm sure)

Sonikki-Valentine In reply to Estherpester [2007-04-26 06:00:39 +0000 UTC]
Well.. I use references a lot.. But.. I don't know..
It's still really hard..
I just can't ever get my own characters so look right..
And.. Well.. I just hate my style, but everyone else tells me it looks good..
So.. I don't know.

Estherpester In reply to Sonikki-Valentine [2007-04-26 06:16:45 +0000 UTC]
like I said, your style's not bad at all! I think you could improve on a few minor things, but really, it's individual and that doesn't mean bad. I think you're being little hard on yourself. But, having said that, I think what's important is that you are proud of what you're doing, so keep at it!
And if characters look wrong... Well I have a lot of trouble getting mine to look right (and I never think they do in the end) so when I've drawn something I look at it to see what's wrong with it, then change it. That sounds a little too simple. But I try not to just look at it and see that it's wrong - I look at it to figure out exactly what's wrong (eg. the eye's too far to the left, the mouth's too low down) and then change it, and keep doing so until it's right. Faint reference line for proportions work wonders, rather than just drawing! (Although some people are able to do this)
Anyway sorry for the novel, I hope it helps a little

Sonikki-Valentine In reply to Estherpester [2007-04-26 06:22:23 +0000 UTC]
It's alright.
And.. Well.. I guess you're right..
I just look at other people's stuff and see how wonderful it is, and i din't think that they've probally been drawing for years and years, and i've only been drawing for such a short time..
I guess i need to take that into mind..
I look at people like *pu-sama and look at mine and well. Who knows how long Pu-sama's been at it!!

Estherpester In reply to Sonikki-Valentine [2007-04-26 06:27:09 +0000 UTC]
Gosh, *pu-sama 's amazing! But yeah everyone gets there at their own pace and it'll take time.
I'm the same - I look at someone elses work and feel bad about my own, but I try not to because I don't think that's gonna help me get better! But again that's the beauty of dA - even us non-professional artists get support and appreciation!
