This was very informative and helpful, but one quick question:

How do you do your lineart? Are you using normal Ink in this picture, a really dark pencil, or are you digitally inking it? Because when you zoomed in on the lines, it almost looked like pencil, but the final image looks so crisp clean and bold.

funkyalien In reply to NaterRang [2007-08-16 22:02:59 +0000 UTC]

Actually I tend to use all three techniques, though not on the same image.
This one was just cleaned-up pencils that I adjusted the levels on to make the lines a bit darker and get rid of the grey on the paper.
In other cases, I either ink by hand my drawing and scan it, or digitally ink over a sketch in Photoshop.

funkyalien In reply to biffybrock [2006-07-24 17:17:36 +0000 UTC]

Will do
And for you, I'll try and keep the semi-clad cats to a minimum for now. I'll draw half-naked ladies instead

I think that's really cool. XD I like it when artists aren't to uppity to share some of their secrets. ^^

funkyalien In reply to Ryuura [2006-07-15 21:47:47 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much
I can't stand it when artists think they're too good to help anyone. They must have had help at some point so they should help others in return
I hardly have any artistic secrets though ^^'

Ryuura In reply to funkyalien [2006-07-16 03:45:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's what I think too... that's why I always like the people that are will to show their techniques. <3

the 'big blank space' was pretty funny too. It's just really simply laid out, I haven't used drawing/painting progs for years and the layering and stuff melts my head so this looks good to me!
