NickBeja In reply to xlouchan [2009-05-10 01:25:37 +0000 UTC]

xlouchan In reply to NickBeja [2009-05-10 15:34:39 +0000 UTC]

Wow, that's very good! I'm very impressed on how you make everything so well proportioned and the clothing and such. Usually takes me months to design my own stuff. >.> Which is why I only do fanarts!

NickBeja In reply to xlouchan [2009-05-10 16:43:44 +0000 UTC]

and hmm yeah, it takes time to familiarize with anatomy and coloring and stuff >_<

MistyGlow In reply to ??? [2009-05-09 12:13:38 +0000 UTC]

Cool, I find some similarities we have when it comes to working in SAI (or working with digital art, generally).. I also set the Stabilizer (Smoothing in the version of my SAI) to something high when doing the lineart.. and I also color the skin first.

Thanx for sharing

NickBeja In reply to MistyGlow [2009-05-09 12:22:01 +0000 UTC]

mhmm yeah I think everyone has some similarities in drawing in some way ~yeahh stabilizer FTW. I change it like 5-10times while drawing. Skin first... hmmm i think most people do

👍: 0 ⏩: 3

MistyGlow In reply to NickBeja [2009-05-10 03:19:42 +0000 UTC]

LOL what's your usual stabilizer setting? I go somewhere relatively low.. like 7 or 8.. and that's it for the whole time. I think I even forget to change it even when I'm already coloring..

NickBeja In reply to MistyGlow [2009-05-10 04:06:44 +0000 UTC]
