Description
Daily Pokémon Doodle #131 ! Lapras has always been one of my favourite water-types, and this was a great chance to test out some water painting techniques I saw in this tutorial:< Next | Previous >

I love how you've made the water here. O_O Looks fabulous, and so does the lapras. 8D

Thank you very much! All credit where it's due to Doxy, I don't think I would have been able to pull it off without that tutorial, haha.

UNGH DUDE.......best lapras art i've seen!~ ;A; i REALLY like how the water is done just where lapras' body touches the surface of the water.~

Aww, thank you so much omg!! I'm glad you like it!

Yeah Paint Tool SAI is perfect for blending.~ ;3; *uses a mac laptop so can't use SAI anymore* I also particularly love the colours that are purposely not blended together (especially around Lapras' face) as it adds so much more depth to the picture itself.

Aw man, I forget about how Macs hate SAI. Why've they gotta be that way? What program do you use?
And thank you again! I figured not blending them would make the markings look more clear-cut and help it read better alongside the soft shading. I'm glad that it's given you some ideas for colouring as well (and quite flattered, haha)! I definitely agree though, I like finding artwork that makes me want to try out a technique the artist has used - there are a lot of things I do in my artwork that I've picked up that way from looking at other artists' work or watching streams.

Sorry for the late reply!
I use MangaStudio 5 so still getting the hang of it~ Except I find it a little bit hard to find really good tutorials on it. o-o
ABSOLUTELY~ >w< clear-cut definitely works better, I remember when I first started to colour digitally and I was like "BLEND EVERYTHING" xD Aw cool! Well you'll probably start to see me trying to pick up techniques that I see you using in your own artwork. n_n <3

Haha, it's fine, I can be a late replier myself sometimes!
Yeah, tutorials on MS5 are really tricky to find for some reason... The official site seems to have a decent share of video tutorials, though, if that helps any? (If you do find any good ones, feel free to pass them on to me, haha. I'm still getting to grips with it myself.)
Oh god yes, the BLEND ALL THE THINGS phase, haha. I did that as well - it was even worse in Photoshop when I discovered the Dodge and Burn tools, I used them to shade literally everything... xD I think anything like that - blending, dodge tools, all that stuff - is fine in moderation. Unfortunately moderation was something I never used them in, haha!

Ooh I'll definitely check out the official site!~ ^w^ I found a few good tutorials by this one guy. (: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGoqRr… He does a step by step guide for the program, he was actually the first guy I found online doing tutorials for it when I first bought manga studio so it was a great motivator. xD
Hahaha omg photoshop is a DEATH trap at the beginning for using the dodge and burn tools.

Ooh, thanks for the link! Those look really handy so I'll definitely be bookmarking them.
Isn't it though! With all those fancy brushes, dodge/burn, filters, gradient tools, the smudge brush... I don't think there was a single feature I didn't use and abuse back when I first started! xD I don't typically use full PS (I do have an old student copy of CS3 I got when I was at school, but my laptop is so crappy it can barely handle it half the time), I have a copy of Photoshop Elements which really does most things you need when it comes to drawing! I think it's only...Elements 7? It's a fairly old edition. But I don't think recent versions are too expensive if you shop around!

OMGOSH i'm terribly bad at replying on time. u///u
omg yes that smudge brush is EVIL. D: i'll most definitely shop around!~ ^^ thank you for all the wonderful advice by the way! <3 i started getting back into the pokemon fanart area again and i've been trying to follow your example of using bright colours and really trying to make them look more three dimensional and less flat. n_n

I really like how there's just a square of water, it looks really cool that way!

Thank you! I got the idea from the first example in the tutorial, although I tried to make it fit with my style as well so I wasn't straight-up copying it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow! That's so well done! I love how the water looks!!

Thank you so much!! A lot of credit to Doxxy for the water, though, I never would have got it looking that way if not for the tutorial.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Doxxy? Is that a youtuber? (I don't stay up to date with YouTube...) I need to know how to draw water... XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, they're here on dA - I link to their tutorial in the description on this picture if you want to check their water tutorial out!

I tried to convert the water tutorial into pencil drawings... it didn't work out very well but... oh well... I STILL LOVE YOUR ART!!!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's okay, converting digital techniques to traditional methods is often kinda tricky - don't feel discouraged just because the first try wasn't to your liking.

I NEED TOO!!! Thanks for the info!

Nicely done once again! Also, good to know you can capture a Lapras in jello.

Thanks!! Haha, yes, it certainly slows them down some.

Oh gosh this really pretty. Lapras is such a majestic Pokemon and you capture that.
