griffsnuff In reply to TheSyrin [2012-11-25 00:06:53 +0000 UTC]

I do have some tutorials ^^ its best to see it drawn rather than me explaining it, im not to good at explaining haha. There is also good light/shading tutorials on deviantart here if you search it up best tips I can give is to study it in real life, put objects under your light and see how it affects the shapes and textures diffrently

TheSyrin In reply to griffsnuff [2012-11-25 00:59:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much i have looked into the tutorials but they are more on how to do it using different programs not the actual concept and getting the hang of it including what usually looks good and what does and the differences between highlights and shading xD
Thank you again for your help D

Perocore In reply to SparkleyKitKat [2012-11-24 23:42:12 +0000 UTC]

Doesn't look like any version of paint I've ever seen...I guess MS Paint was updated recently?

Or are you not referring to MS Paint..?

SparkleyKitKat In reply to Perocore [2012-11-25 00:02:41 +0000 UTC]

Its in Windows 7. its just called Paint not MS or anything.

Maekii In reply to Perocore [2012-11-24 23:46:46 +0000 UTC]

It is MS Paint, just on a Windows 7 computer. I know it looks different on Windows Vista and older versions. c:

It's free already, and it comes with newer versions of Windows 7? I'm not sure if there even is a paint download.

Akjsnksa In reply to JackSapphireFrost [2012-11-25 00:26:32 +0000 UTC]

I'm not really sure to be honest, it comes with Windows 7 and it's by far the best version of paint out there. You can probably google it and find it but I don't know of any sources to get it. :c I wish I could help more!

Could you make a tutorial using Photoshop Elements?

Ozzien In reply to KayKat101 [2012-11-24 23:10:43 +0000 UTC]

In Photoshop, it's basically the same thing- open a file 50x50 pixels, use the pencil tool set at 1 pixel, and to save some time, do the icon on an independent layer, delete the background, and save as a .png (it preserves the transparency).
