Oh my, this might take a very long time to load, sorry for you people with slow internet connections, just be patient. <3

I hope everyone enjoys this, It took three days of grueling hard work. I had no idea how to acually make a tutorial at..ALL! *-*; It's hard to try and explain simply, but wanting to give good information. I think it turned out alright in the end though... and hey, if a angry mob comes after me, well, Im only a very bored 14 year old girl. D:

NO, Lighty is not a raddish spirit. Don't ask. T_T

Also, special thanks to Luna, a VERY close friend of mine that made this tutorial legible for all of you to read. :3

please this if it helps. ^_^

Photoshop + Wacom tablet: 15 hours among 3 days.

Under 'More Like This' [or just next to the picture, depends] there should be a 'download' button, click it and it pops up in a new window with the tutorial.

love4shadow11 [2010-04-17 19:29:56 +0000 UTC]

What size of brush did you use? 1px ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Lighteh In reply to love4shadow11 [2010-04-17 23:22:56 +0000 UTC]

Well, I don't quite remember... but I usually use either 1 or 2 px. :3
Whats more important is that you learn how to play around with the pressure options in photoshop. Adjusting things like smoothness and texture can change the sharpness of your brush, something that can make a huge difference.

love4shadow11 In reply to Lighteh [2010-04-18 03:27:17 +0000 UTC]

ok^^ I usually use a 3 px brush, but my lineart looks so messy like that, even if I use the pen tool. I'll try playing with the smoothness and textures and see if that helps^^

Also, love the tutorial, really helped me anatomy wise^^

edluver1 [2009-01-10 22:51:56 +0000 UTC]

could u draw this dragon i made for a naruto character i did for me plz? here's the info so I hope this helps if u decide to do it:

Name: Kiten (means wise) Akizakura
Age: 14 ( shippuuden)
Gender: Female
Village: Leaf
Clan/Bloodline/demon traits: can tell who is a jinchuuriki (sp?), short tempered, and heals very quickly
Jutsu: ninjutsu,genjutsu, and taijutsu
weapons: The usual kunai, shuriken, smokebombs etc.
Description: Has black fingerless gloves on both hands, Black hair that is all the way to her waist and is always in a braid with a few flyaways, wears all black boys clothes, black ninja sandals,dark rings around her eyes like gaara, black eyes, a necklace with a fake claw on it, abnormally large canines, short sleeve shirt and pants that cover her shoes somewhat, a fit body, and a dragon birthmark covering her entire right arm and the entire back of her hand
Personality: Cold and aloof, sadistic, untrusting, uncaring, and very violent when provoked, and loves blood shed especially if hse is the one who is causing it
History:both parents died at the time of her birth and becasue she had the ten tailed dragon sealed within her after birth, everyone tried to kill her and hated her. Every attempt on her life failed since no matter what wound she sustains big or small it heals the moment she recieves it and poison has no effect on her either. She cannot sleep for if she does the ten tailed dragon's chakra spins out of control and will instantly kill her and she can also see spirits. Is sometimes very blissful after killing someone but when she uses the dragon's chakra she becomes more like an animal not only in personality but physically, canines grow into thick fangs that slide out of her mouth, her fingernails grow into claws and she even walks and runs on all fours.
