I have been working on this tutorial for the last 4 weeks, I think; on and off. Phew, and I am really happy that I managed to finish it.
It took me some time to compile it all.I wanted to have it done much earlier but I couldn't for various reasons. Now I can work on some other stuff again. ^^
You can download the tutorial if you want. I hope it's helpful and I didn't talk any gibberish.
Be careful though, the filesize is huge! ^^°
Feedback is always appreciated! ^^

awsome tutorial, it really helps me a loooot, just a personal point of view here but i really think the background almost ruin the work, you put such awsome effort in the drawing, to end it up with a digital background, i would been even lovelier with a watercolor and white paint to make the stars in the background, of course this is just a personal view

Thank you very much for your comment and I am happy to hear it helps you. ^^ By now it's an old drawing and I am well aware of its shortcomings and mistakes, but you got the 'digital' background wrong. It's all done with markers, so I'm not sure where you got that idea from. ^^° The only things that's digital about this image is, that I scanned it.

No need to apologise. ^^ I hear quite often these days that people think I did use digital means... to me it's blatantly obvious it's done with markers. XD

Also, why did you use the airbrush rather than just color the dress in blue?

One simple word: texture.

Thank you very much. ^^ I have never thought about doing a lineart tutorial and you're the first one to mention it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess general tips, how to ink neatly and cleanly, and also things about line weights, paper type/size, ink/pens, etc. I think my difficulty is usually that my lines don't look natural or flow nicely. And even though I usually work with an 005 micron when inking initially the lines look thick or shaky and bump into each other X_x.Sorry I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well, but I guess basically I mean that it has been difficult making my inks look natural and smooth, and to find balance between line weights.

Don't worry, I understand what you meant. ^^ Doing a tutorial on "line art" might be worth a shot at some point.

I'm not quite sure what you mean with great poses, but I always try to find poses which fit the character's character.

Wahnsinn T___T

Was für ein Papier hast du benutzt?

Steht alles im ersten Schritt.

Echt? Dann hab ich das glatt überlesen
Und das verträgt sich mit dem Airbrush?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ist doch nicht so schlimm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah ja. Okay, das sollte sich auhc vertragen xD
Ist im Grunde ja nichts anderes, nur eben anders aufgetragen. Sind die Copic-Airbrush-Systeme gut? Die sehen für mich immer wenig vertrauenswürdig aus, aber ich will halt unbedingt mal Airbrush benutzen >_<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Also man kann mit dem Airbrush von Copic eigentlich sehr gut umgehen (ist sehr stabil und liegt gut in der Hand), aber man sollte wissen, dass man eben nicht alles machen kann, als wenn man ein reines Airbrush-System verwendet. Ich benutze es mehr für spezielle Effekte, und dann auch meistens für den Hintergrund. Da man ja die Sprühgröße nicht einstellen kann, muss man eben notgedrungen Flächen maskieren und da ist mir oft die Folie zu schade; deswegen verwende ich es eben sparsamer. Ansonsten kann ich mich nicht beschweren... aber ich muss mit dem Airbrush auch noch viel üben. ^^

Ah, ist ja interessant *^*
Vielen Dank für die Info. Also von Airbrush hab ich keine Ahnung, aber ich suche auch vorrangig etwas zum Hintergründe sprühen. Wenn man das mit den Markern macht wird es ja oft so ungleichmäßig >__<
Außerdem geht sehr viel Farbe verloren und die ist ja teuer.
