Description Some people asked me, how I did the scales on my Ni'am piccu: [link]

So I made a lil crappy tutorial on my way of doing scales... like I said, this is only MY version... I'm sure there are 100 other way's to do this, so please don't hurt me

Oh and I suck at doing tutorials Hope you'll understand it... somehow *lol

The only thing I'm worried about is can I achieve the same effect with digital media? I'm not as coordinated with my mouse or tablet as I am with pencils. And that's not saying much, parallel lines don't come too easily to me, but I try.

I guess for digital media you'd have to figure out something else with a similar effect ^^, I did noch try this out with tablet yet XD

Well, I was wrapped up in a lot of other details in the picture last night, but got to lay down a net pattern base before turning in the for the night. I'll be working on the actual scales today. I'm just wondering if it's going to be a huge problem that the lines are not perfectly parallel (drew the lines by hand, I fail at things like that...). Do you think it's going to be an issue?

Sorry for the late reply ^^,,,
I just looked at the picture you did and I think it looks great :3 I'm not sure which lines you mean are not perfectly parallel... I think it looks good :3

Don't worry, I'm happy to hear from you.

As for the parallels, that was when I tried it by hand... the next day I had decided to use the line tool, with much copy/paste abuse. Had I been doing traditional art, I would have tried harder to avoid "the grid" but, my tablet skills weren't up to the task.

Lazyness sometimes comes up with good ideas XD I'm much to lazy to draw every single scale so I had to come up with a solution *giggles*
