Description I'm using a laptop right now with crappy resolution. >_<

K THIS IS WHERE ALL THE MAGIC HAPPENS. I'm painting something normal-looking for a change. x)

I still need to add more buildings and stuff in the garden. Maybe even a gazebo.. Oh snap I need to add a sun too.

I decided not to make swiss-cheese clouds since they take too much time. Everything is basically created from bush + watercolor brush + airbrushing. Yepp.. I used MUCH more layers, but I just have a bad habit of merging them together. >_<

2 hours, SAI.

I cannot guarantee that I am able to make a good tutorial. Most of my CG'ing consists of spontaneous brushstrokes rather than something systematic.

especially the way you make BG >w<

michizu In reply to Viridilly [2009-08-16 16:56:21 +0000 UTC]

My coloring is just like basic painting and airbrushing. >u<

imo, it's all just about choosing the right colors.

Looks great so far!! Man I need to practice doing backgrounds more! I love how to clouds and bushes have kinda the same style and fit really well together, great stuff! ^^

michizu In reply to Yuri-Kukiko [2009-08-15 20:04:39 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Backgrounds are pretty relaxing compared to cg'ing people depending on what colors you use. (which is why the shades are all blue here ^^) The most tedious part is drawing the rough outline of the buildings. T.T

Yuri-Kukiko In reply to michizu [2009-08-15 21:28:46 +0000 UTC]

Cool! ^^ Have any good tutorials for backgrounds?! Not like, simple gradient bgs, but like a bit more detailed backgrounds...?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

michizu In reply to Yuri-Kukiko [2009-08-15 21:37:23 +0000 UTC]

Just look up tutorials to draw perspective (for buildings). After that, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

For detailed backgrounds, you just need more lines to your vanishing points if you plan to draw windows/balconies/etc. Other than that, everything else is just pure painting and blending, or in my case, brush + watercolor brush in SAI.

All you have to do is learn perspective, which really isn't hard. Everything else just comes together. D;

michizu In reply to kitty--san [2009-08-15 19:45:45 +0000 UTC]

All you need to do is practice.

I tend to lose interest in making backgrounds before so they'd look ugly. Learning perspective isn't really hard, and can drastically change how you paint landscapes! C;

kitty--san In reply to michizu [2009-08-15 19:52:46 +0000 UTC]

The problem for me mostly is perspective and scale. Recently I've been alot more adventurous with backgrounds, so hopefully I'll get better.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

michizu In reply to kitty--san [2009-08-15 20:00:43 +0000 UTC]

Perspective is actually really easy.

It's just a matter of drawing straight lines and connecting the dots. Once you master that, your scale will be accurate. You can find tutorials on DA or something. ;x
