Description Holy wow, that took a while to compile. The first version freaking went all.... corrupted on me. .__. Yeah, I did this all tonight. When I should have been working on commissions, I know, I know. B-but look how productive it is!!!

I hope this helps you guys in any way at all. Sorry I couldn't describe things in words better. Looking at the progression helps more, in my opinion, hence so many scans.

Feel free to re-draw this all you want for practice, and you can re-post as long as you credit me (and maybe link back here so others can learn, too!).

Thank you! I've used a lot of different pens for them, but lately I've been favoring the Copic liners like this: [link]

Tip: Shop ebay.

What colors do you use? and HOW DO YOU DO TO YOUR COLOR DOESENT PUT OVER THE LINEART?!?!

InsaneRoman In reply to Zora-the-dragoness [2012-09-19 03:32:01 +0000 UTC]

FAIL. I only answered half. I usually don't color over the lineart, just around it and inside of it. A lot of the time I'll go over it again after the coloring is done, too.

It depends on what I'm drawing, really. I usually use a light shade, a medium shade of the same family, and a darker color and/or black for more shading. For this, I used 2 different greys and black, but I don't know the title of the colors because apparently they don't have names.

8TwilightAngel8 [2012-09-14 13:33:01 +0000 UTC]

A very good tutorial

I was wondering, when you do the base color, do you color in the direction of the fur or just do a very flat/even color?

InsaneRoman In reply to 8TwilightAngel8 [2012-09-16 16:25:30 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

The base color I put down is just a flat color, and I do over it again a bit harder/darker/more pressure to plan where the fur will go. It's a gradual process.

you've draw a lot of aceo but i don't know what aceo means

InsaneRoman In reply to Escuisi [2012-09-16 16:27:18 +0000 UTC]

An ACEO is also known as an ATC, or Artist Training Cards. They're artwork done around the sizer of a Pokemon or playing card and artists collect and trade them to built their own collections. I just think they're fun to draw.
