Description As the title says ^^!

I hope you all like it ._____.; And yes.. IT'S VERY H00GE!!!! XP Like 3MB so yeeeaaahhh ^^ For you dial-up pplz, ya might wanna go have a coffee break ~

It's a lot of reading pretty much (and sorry for the crappy font color e.e; I'll darken that in the future maybe) I tried to make it as pretty as possible o.o;; And disregard the ugly, green, blurry kitty siggy on her back and arm It's supposed to be a "tattoo" e.e; I tried to give it some perspective like it was actually on her skin but I failed miserably .________.;;; Sorry if it's really lame XD;; Don't hurt me!!!

If you wanna see the finished product of Ren Miura with a bg, then go to this link: [link]

Gaaahhh... I just hope it's decent looking ;____;" If you have trouble reading it.. you start at the far left panel and read down.. then go to the next panel over, read down, next panel.. well you get the drift XD Also... remember to save.. and save OFTEN !!

(Also, for those of you who still need help with the pen tool, you can look at the tutorial by NCH85, and by bakabaka ~! )

Ren Miura and this tutorial (c) Kat '06 ^__________^

If you're gonna use this as reference or draw Miura based on this tutorial then please link back to me.. I'd really appreciate it
And if you're gonna use it outside of dA, ask me for permission first !

yay! A tutorial by you!! *dances* It looks great!! I suck at putting things together like a tutorial lol. I don't know who'd ever want a tutorial by me anyway XDD;; Its cool to see how you do things! I love your coloring style

HeLLKaTSTaRKiTTy In reply to chellariArt [2006-10-17 06:26:50 +0000 UTC]

It took me forever tryna get this piece together! I wanted to do a OpenCanvas one because there's not a lot of settings to it, unlike Photoshop where there's so many switches to the brushes it gets really irking to have to put every one of those things in

Thank you so much for the sweet comments, Kuma-chan! And if anything, I wouldn't mind seeing a tutorial from you I wanna see how you draw and color your drawings as well y'know I'm always intrigued about those kinds of things Thankiez again!

Thankiez so much Vickers

And if you want the OC, you can d/l it here: [link]

It should be a direct d/l once you click it.. if it doesn't work then just right-click and save link as But be warned... it's very primitive XD;;; but still really good if I'm able to produce decent drawlings 8D

Thank you very much for the link : ) I'm looking forward to clearing some of these projects so I can free up some time to play arround with it. I think I'll use your tutorial as a test bed : ) Thanks again

HeLLKaTSTaRKiTTy In reply to CGVickers [2006-09-15 12:07:54 +0000 UTC]

No problem ^____^ You can also search around for the web to d/l trial versions of more recent versions XP But they're a lil confusing and take a lil getting used to since they've got more windows to play around with But it's pretty similar to PS It just has a softer feel to it ( ;

Ahh, no problem, I'm just flattered that you're willing to use my tut as a test bed

Agh~! Yeh I know whatcha mean with the many projects now X3;; I've seemed to have buried myself in them as well

It's hard for me to copy other's styles, especially when it's people. In my figure drawing class it took me half a semester to feel comfortable drawing people. It's not something I do that often.

HeLLKaTSTaRKiTTy In reply to HobyAdobe [2006-09-13 02:01:45 +0000 UTC]

Oohhh... yeh yeh I'm the same way with copying other ppls' styles (I like drawing ppl.. but I'm not so good with bodies, only faces lol)

But I think looking at tutorials, you read it and look at them and even though you can't copy the ALL artist's technique 100%, you still have a feel for them.

Like in my case, I look at tutorials all the time and I tried out some of the different styles but they never worked for me. But what I did do was use a lil bit of a style and use other styles and put them together to make my own, so basically I took what I liked and mixed it up XD;;; Omg.. such a long comment.. sorreh bout that XD;;

I get so frustrated sometimes when my technical skills (drawing mostly) fail me. There's just certian things I "can't" draw for the life of me

HeLLKaTSTaRKiTTy In reply to HobyAdobe [2006-09-15 13:26:24 +0000 UTC]

Gah, yeah.. I've been going through a lot of that lately And it makes it all the while harder to actually practice and get better when you're frustrated like that huh ? Omg.. yeh I'm the same way.. I just CAN'T draw like DC or Marvel comics nor can I draw mecha .____.;;; But hang in there >____

Cool. no idea what OC is. Is it like Photoshop?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

HeLLKaTSTaRKiTTy In reply to Hypes [2006-09-11 20:07:22 +0000 UTC]

OC (or OpenCanvas) is one of the many coloring programs I have the first version so think of it as the primitiveness of Paint mixed in with the basic Photoshop coloring capabilities and layers (along with some other stuff but that's basically it) ^^ If you want, I could give you the link to d/l OC, it's pretty small (like 1MB) but it's pretty good

HeLLKaTSTaRKiTTy In reply to Hypes [2006-09-11 22:59:29 +0000 UTC]

It's not as demanding as PS is when it comes to lagging on the compie... and your lines appear more "exact" looking when you draw it on OC than in PS... and I like how the coloring blends nicely in OC so there's pros and cons on both sides.. it's all a matter of preference really
