AnamiUchiha In reply to Piranis [2008-06-30 18:38:49 +0000 UTC]

no prob! i have a question tho. for the sketch do you draw it on paper or in photoshop?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Piranis In reply to AnamiUchiha [2008-07-01 20:58:09 +0000 UTC]

Either one is fine, though photoshop would be easier to make it transparent and stuff. So you could put it on a different layer than the background. (: But since you'd be working at a small scale it wouldn't be that hard to fix. Hope that made sense. xD If you have any other questions feel free to ask. :3
