Description Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

The Fray - How To Save a Life


This time I tried my drawing Natsume from Gakuen Alice. This is drawn for since she's a big fan of Natsume and also for drooling over the suspending plots of Gakuen Alice with me. XD I have to say I actually enjoyed drawing him this way since he's a very interesting character to draw, with his complicated ties with the academy and whatnot.

And this time I tried to use pentool + polygonal lasso tool, and totally avoided the smudge tool for a CG practice, and I actually find this method to be much more easy and fun than brushing + smudging. In the end, the result was to my satisfaction. *grins*

Thanks a lot. I just have the tendency to butcher someone else's favourite character and dress them up in my favourite clothings, so I'm glad that you think its hot.

XD you do? I didn't notice~ haha It really looks good on him. And,I've been after a pair of similar-looking pants since forever. lol

Oh and yay! I knew I had a reason why I just LOVE the pentool. ; I use it for other purposes though... as I really am too lazy to make digital art and stuff.

Really? So have you found it then?

Pentool is good if you can you use it properly. I used to swear how much I hate it when I was still learning how to use it. I don't use it much as often as I used to now since I got myself a tablet. Still its one of my favourite tool. LOL I get what you mean.

You have made me realise the joy of not using smudge tool. I must thank you for that, lol ^__^

Smudge is evil. Learn to live without it at all, it when used excessively/improperly. Get a tablet, the sooner, the better >:3

Infinite-Stardust In reply to artofrona [2008-02-09 17:23:53 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, I have to agree CG with pentool and the lasso tool are pretty hard, but once you get used to it the effects are just stunning. *thumbs*

when i saw this in the GA-Club gallery, at first i was like,
"..unfamiliar person sighted. WHO'S THIS BISHOUNEN??"
then after a while did i only think of full-viewing it. haha!

this is real good
(in my case though, i find smudging more fun guess it's my way of doing things)
we need more Natsume .. er, GA love-dom

and i'm another of those people who just gets real giddy on how the plots are turning. @-@

*laughs* I have to agree, I guess its because of his hair colour. >.< We need to spread Tsubas-- I mean, Gakuen Alice love~ True true, the plots are really killing my insanity.

Smudging is fun too, but I can't handle the brushes with only mouse. *hangs head* Needs tablet.

suzaku18 In reply to Infinite-Stardust [2008-02-07 09:58:46 +0000 UTC]

haha, yeah, that's it.

ah! Tsubasa!! X3 and Yoichi!! *gets whammed for pedophillic tendencies*
(oh wait, fangirling over Natsume is already pedophillic. )

wahh Tachibana-sensei she's got me obsessed!

yeah, using a mouse is a real pain in the wrist .. @-@
