Nubry In reply to LoZ-girl [2010-02-02 03:36:29 +0000 UTC]

Haha I just looked at your gallery and saw your work is real sketchy.
It isent bad, it just depends what style you are going for and in the comic book industry everything is generally sharp and clean.
Your style looks great though and so it works for what you are doing which is great so keep it up!

Hey everyone has to start somewhere and this is how I'm planing on starting, thanks for posting the video I found it very effective, I usually shy away from colouring but lately I have realised how much skill is involved, respect dood! If end up with 1/10th the skills you have I would be over the moon!

Any more tut's on the way in the shape of a video... I could to with a good teacher/guru/master... maybe not master, that sounds a little freaky, maybe sage!

TEACH ME!

Thanks again for posting the video, much appreciated, he check out my journal, not too sure if you are interested but it's still worth a look, plus I feel like I owe you.

Thank you.

Lilikwee [2008-03-16 01:30:56 +0000 UTC]

I think it's going to take me ages to be able to do anything like that. Cause I've never used Photoshop before, it's going to be fun! I'm still waiting on my activation code! So I've had all weekend, but couldn't use it...*grumbles*. *sigh* Guess I'll have to wait till next weekend.

Nubry In reply to Lilikwee [2008-03-16 02:00:07 +0000 UTC]

yer that sucks. Once you have an understanding of tools and stuff my tutorial should become more clear to you.
Its all about practice.
Thanks for commenting and I will see you tomorrow.

Yea I think you need to train your eye to find these things in your work or others.

Lol, I've been trying to paint last tuesday, really enjoyed it and spent the entire evening on it, but well... Result so far is terrible... 0.o I'm going to read some more tuts, needed...

Maybe I should try it first with some good lineart... ^__^

Nubry In reply to Jodelien [2008-03-13 10:43:01 +0000 UTC]

Good idea. I also find it good to colour other peoples work because when you draw something you have a visual image of what you are drawing in your head in colour. But when you colour someone elses work you have to guess what colours they were going to use.

Keep practicein
