Description Trying out a different coloring style. Shading from dark to light. o ~ o Was interesting, but I'd need a lot of practice with it, I think....xD


Got the idea from =dejichan 's tutorial [link]

Although I think `loish colors that way too...I was just too lazy to look up her step-by-step and look at it @ 3 @;;

This is definitely not the picture I mentioned in my journal btw. x X;
I might try this on that picture..But I'd have to work much harder, this is just a colored sketch. xD
And learn to mix more colors together.
@ 3 @ You know, some different hues...
Adding in some pinks and purples to a skin tone might be nice....

@ A @ Anyway, I'm out guys.
I have a headacheee.
And I gotta wake up early tomorrow x X;;;

Out of context it's just kinda cute, but if you start watching it, it's funny. ^^ I like Osaka the best character-wise. ^^

The one with the allergies. ^^ In the English version, since she's FROM Osaka, which is like the south to the US, she has a southern accent. ^^

Hirahime In reply to Feoral [2010-05-08 02:48:25 +0000 UTC]

LOL. xD Oh she's from Osaka. I was wondering if they named her after a city...lol.

LOL. I don't like southern accents. :U
I can't tell the different between the normal japanese and the Osaka accent though... XD Except she sounds a little cuter.

Feoral In reply to Hirahime [2010-05-09 04:44:56 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, well then you wouldn't like it here. I'll use the accent to be funny. Plus Squidbillies is hilarious. ^^ But yeah.

They just gave her one in the English version since Osaka there is like, Kentucky or Georgia here. ^^ (just guessing) ^^

Hirahime In reply to Feoral [2010-05-09 05:48:45 +0000 UTC]

Most people around here have southern accents...orz;; -isn't from around here-

Squidbillies...?

I live right between Kentucky and Georgia OwO In Tennessee. xD;; lol.
But I get what you're saying Osaka is in the southern part of Japan..? XD

It's a learned language. Like how watching anime with the subs on makes you start to understand some words and you're like "Woah! I knew what that one meant!" It's like that. ^^ Hehe.

Hirahime In reply to aelitah1 [2010-04-08 16:24:46 +0000 UTC]

Uhhhm. Uhmmmmm. As far as anatomy... referencing from photos/life is probably best. I sometimes reference an artist called Carnelian for girls' anatomy. But some good tutorials on actual anatomy....I think I only know one that I can think of off the top of my head..
[link]

But personally, I regret never referencing anatomy from real life when I was just starting out... But I've been practicing referencing things from life, recently...

Very interesting! Dejichan's tutorials are so awesome so I'm glad I'm not the only one inspired.

My favourite part is her skin, easily. Especially around her stomach and arms - it looks very nice! Adding different uses is always good idea - especially on a low opacity! That way is just makes a nice hint. <:

Hirahime In reply to PrimroseMoon [2010-04-04 15:44:19 +0000 UTC]

x333 Hehe yeah, I haven't used one of her tutorials in a while, but that method looked really interesting to me :3

xD Yeah her skin is what I spent the most time on 0w0 lol

xD Ohh, but I did this all on one layer. 0w0 using a low opacity brush might work but I'd have to try really hard with the blending.

owo I think this works better in photoshop though, I did this picture in SAI, but I'm doing another one in PS and it's coming out better xD

I think it is only recommended to go dark to light when airbrushing, but perhaps it is useful elsewhere as well.
