This deserves it's DD SO HARD it should just have, like, two more. Or four more, to add one for each of the other two parts, I suppose.

Oh my God. I NEEDED THIS. Thank you for showing me the light. ;3;
I'm guilty of the copy-faced syndrome, and taking notes on these tips and taking them to heart should help me

I love these. Going to use them to try and draw some fan-arts of my favorite Sailor Moon character later. ^_^ I can't really draw through so we'll see what happens.

"BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED I AM CAPTAIN FACE"

That had me busting at the seams, I will tell you that right now.

Nonetheless, this is a good tutorial with a lot of useful info. Congrats on the Daily Deviation!

Ah, so helpful! I feel like giving characters unique faces is something I struggle with. It's not so much that I take shortcuts, it's just that I have certain features that I like to draw, and they sort of get... habitual. This is really useful

Eco-Strata [2011-07-15 01:41:34 +0000 UTC]

This is pretty helpful stuff, and the fact that the art isn't total shit like most tutorials is what makes it more inspiring and better.

jeinu In reply to Eco-Strata [2011-07-15 02:24:33 +0000 UTC]

yeah, it's only half shit

i'll probably remake these first two later on haha

Eco-Strata In reply to jeinu [2011-07-15 03:35:26 +0000 UTC]

Nahh non of it is shit, I just meant that it's far better than most tutorials that aren't actually helpful and are relatively poorly drawn. Your stuff is pretty good.

Eco-Strata In reply to jeinu [2011-07-15 05:29:21 +0000 UTC]

Of course! I love all of your animations by the way, especially your user icon. I would fork over a good bit of money for a custom one hahaha, you probably don't make them upon request though, I've seen people that do though. 8-bit ands 16-bit animated icons are just so cool.

jeinu In reply to Eco-Strata [2011-07-15 05:58:00 +0000 UTC]

actually i animate user icon in bunches every now and then. i'll do another batch of ten or so in a few weeks. i'll let you know when that is, if you want!

Eco-Strata In reply to jeinu [2011-07-15 06:32:30 +0000 UTC]

So you just make random batches of user icons for people to use? or requests? and sure! I'd love you know when you're posting another bunch of them!

Thank you for your contribution to art. ^^

Cloverflower In reply to ??? [2011-07-15 00:59:59 +0000 UTC]

When characters have the same face, it prevents me from screwing up. Congrats on ur DD but, I have to disagree. though this is something that I can see you put some time into.

Gashu-Monsata In reply to Cloverflower [2011-07-15 03:27:42 +0000 UTC]

Dude, you ain't seen Picasso's sketchbooks. They were FULL of screw-ups. If you don't make mistakes, you can't learn from them
