A very useful tutorial! Thanks really really much! I just have one itsy bitsy question: for shading, do you draw tiny lines, or do you do something else?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah... never considered this... XD
Umm... I use soft strokes so that I can cover the area I want the shading to be... and always in the same direction... so they could count as tiny lines... sometimes I change the direction according to the area, but not so randomly... the only times I cross other lines in a different direction would be when I want to add an extra shadow... and some times I just follow the main line of the body and muscles with soft strokes while shading...
Then again, there are the times I draw for the sake of drawing and I don't really consider any quality rules...
But technically you should try keep the shading lines parallel and in the main direction the light is hitting from (if you really want the shading lines to show a bit, especially), because it's the light that makes the shadow, of course. ^^
Hope I didn't confused you even more XD

Asta-i cel mai bun tutorial pe care l-am vazut in ultimele zile (ma refer la info si prezentare),stiam de marea majoritate a tips-urilor pe care le-ai dat (deh,dA tard & geek),dar trebuie sa recunosc nu mi-a venit niciodata ideea de a pune capace pe creioane ca sa nu mai faca mizerie,bietul meu buletin T_T.Pe langa asta,desenul arata pur si simplu minunat.
Ah,si ca tot am citit above la discutia despre kneaded eraser,gasesti foarte usor si la un pret foarte convenabil pe Lipscani (Hanul cu Tei) la magazinele Rembrandt sau Andreeart incepand de la 1,50 Ron (15.000 lei vechi,eu atat am dat pe a mea).A,si are denumirea generica de "guma plastica" ^^ (God bless pe vechiul meu prof de design vestimentar,daca n-ar fi fost pt el nici eu nu as fi auzit de guma plastica).
Ce as mai putea zice? A,da,instant fav

Ma bucur ca ti-a placut!
Si multumesc pt traducere. Asta era un alt lucru de care avea nevoie pe langa locatie. (Banuiam ca ar fi pe la Hanul cu Tei, ca acolo, se pare, au di tati XD)
Si pt design vestimentar se fac lectii... waaa... can u slip some info here too? I'm darn curious what they teach there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep,pe acolo se gasesc mai toate chestiile bune
Well,se fac,la sala Dales.Eu practic am fost fortata sa iau lectii,de catre mama,acum vreo 3-4 ani,so,if memory serves me right,cursurile tin 4 luni de zile si costa ceva (9 milioane de lei vechi,I think) dar dupa 2-3 ani de curs obtii o diploma care te atesta ca designer,sau cel putin asta imi aduc aminte,nu mai sunt asa sigura.Eu,in cele 2 saptamani cat m-am dus la curs,am fost introdusa,so to say,in ceea ce aveam sa facem.Cu alte cuvinte,proful cere niste mostre de ceea ce poti face tu fara nici un curs si o discutie pe marginea lor,si o sa-ti dea o lista de materiale pe care sa le cumperi,asta fiind in prima sap; in a doua,again din cate imi aduc aminte,am vb ceva despre ce ne place si ce nu in moda actuala,cum am modifica-o si despre cum un designer ar trebui sa tina cont si de croiala materialului.Oh,si cursurile se tin in grup de vreo 20 or so.Oricum,dak vrei sa urmezi cursurile,informatii mai concrete ai putea gasi dak te duci sa vb cu proful,si sa nu-ti fie frica de el,e un om incredibil

Ah, nu... imaginatia mea se blocheaza cand vine vorba de design... indiferent de care e. Eram doar curioasa. XD
Multzam de informatii.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aici te-as contrazice,imaginatia ta clar accepta si devine forate abundenta cand vine vorba de design-ul personajelor (just look at your last pieces,they're brilliant).
Cu cea mai mare placere
P.S: Ajungi,by any chance,sambata la Otaku?

Ah... you're just being nice. XD

Inca mai negociez niste termeni ai prezentei mele acolo, dar fie ca inving fie ca nu, tot vin!
We should exchange some tel numbers... I'd so luv to have someone to stick with around there... most of my friends have deserted me for this edition >3>
*runs around in circles*

you might have just used a kneaded eraser those erase and life the graphite off making it not stick and no flea things. Plus you could just put paper at the bottom of your wrist cause paper dosnt smudge paper. copy righted info to me lol
Anyway very good tut
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I constantly forget to mention the paper thingy. >.<
Kneaded eraser??? (For some reason I'm thinking grandma's sweaters in eraser version...) what are those? O.O
Thank you! I will make a second one with the extra info you guys provided as soon as I get the chance and patience.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kneaded erases are like sticky tack but grey o.o' lol. But they can erase anything and lift the graphite (pencil marks) and dont make a mess. but yea does remind me of grandmas home-made itchy sweaters -_-' but glad yo help
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
u mean those things that peel the paper away if pressed a bit more seriously? *still confused*
Wait... *checks google finally*
They look like modeling material! O.O This actually has more potential than just erasing stuff. *starts waving tail*
I haven't crossed my path with anything like this lately, but it surely seems I will soon betray my pen-erasers (ever since they say on wikipedia kneaded erasers are actually of little use on large areas.)
This info here is pure gold! I'll start pestering people to find places they sell things like this (<--- still has no guts to get a PayPal).
Thank youuuu!

I got some from Hanul cu Tei (was on my way ^^)... it's so sticky... and so fluffy... and it sticks to my fingers, did I mention that? And to the box I got it with...
And except for the fact it leaves no dirt and is modelable (
yet... it's modellable!

Thanks for the tutorial, it's really useful!
I didn't think about the brush either, used to get blue, too
Keep up the good work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lots of blue people around, I see... Finally someone brings color to life!
No worry, I didn't think of the brush either... I used to shake the paper like crazy until it went clean. Occasionally I would use my sleeve to clean it up, and that would go interesting when i got home. XD
I just noticed in some other people's pics and tuts and thought it would be nice to share...
as said... it's a give-back-away. ^^

Oh...my bad, they do have a Victoria's Secret boutique in the clearing.
Isn't the tail just a little bit too short?
And about the tut, clear and to the point,useful tips... I need to get one of those eraser pens, used to have one but my dog ate it a long time ago.
Oh and nice tip with the brush, I just blow it all away until I go blue in the face.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
maybe, just maybe the tail is lowered and maybe, just maybe, I tried perspective again... and maybe... no... certainly... I just failed... like I seem to be an expert in, lately... >.<
Iti aduc eu una maine (am mai multe XD)... daca nu uit XD

foarte tare
mi-a placut mult tutorialul, si sper ca vor mai urma
am vazut ca aveai ceva fel de pix..dar din care iesea radiera in loc de mina de creion. n-am stiut ca exista asa ceva 
apropo de pensule de machiaj...unii le folosesc si pt a picta cu ele (o fosta colega a facut asta 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Da, inventivitatea e o trasatura a artei.
Si, da, din nou... e ca un fel de pix... L-am gasit intr-un magazin japonez de pe aici (japan-people are scary... always thinking more than others... simply luv! )
Si multumesc mult! Sper ca a fost de folos! :3
