Description Probably I'm still too afraid to experiment..
I'm not quite happy with the way it came out now, after few hours I finished it.
Still a lot of missing: effects, shadings not accurate, liquid is more like jelly. Never knew how to make splashes so kind of got scared and didn't make them.
I give up with this one. When I see others around me improving with speed of light, when I'm still standing in one place, I get depressed, but still happy for them.
and not even my playlist helps, playing sad songs =v= OH C'MON.
anyway, this is the first and original version of this, other will be only colors changed.
W.I.P was this ->

I hope you like it!
my course mate (waifu or BFF, if I she lets me call her like this) promised be chocolate bar if I finished this, so I finally finished =w=

.___. Holyfu- how long did all the details take you???

Mygosh, don't believe me if you don't want to but this is simply amazing! The atmosphere you've created is really appealing to me and therefore inspired me... a lot... *sigh* Damn you with your Β great concepts...


About the improving part: Believe it or not but you improve with every new drawing you make. It might not be seen right away but it is there. There's no reason to be afraid of experimenting either Digital art comes with magical layers and if something goes wrong then lil' erase button saves the day. If you need ideas or tips then search for tutorials on dA, there's tons of them here!Β 
For example, splatter takes hella time to make but it's fun if you enjoy working on details. You only need one tutorial for blood, slime, water or anything liquid and I used thisΒ  Β as base, the rest is just messing with layers and colors.
Just make one small drawing where to derp around with all the crazy ideas you get or find inspiring here on dA There's no reason to be afraid of failing, it will happen in the beginning a lot but once you overcome it you'll get to taste the fruit of victory.

uhhh... I think about a day if I sum up all the times I sat on this

such concept comes at very rare times but I'm glad you feel this way ;u;

wha-- u srs? O.O I thought I stay at one place OR I improve but at a very slow rate =v=
(maybe it's the problem of many artist - they notice others, but can't see anything of themselves)
AH YES layers. but if by some chance you forget them and accidentally do everything on one layer... well, then I'm about to flip everything if that happens.
Probably that's why I have such fear xD but I must force myself to at least try...
yup, dA is best for it, especially if you know what you are searching for
THIS TUTORIAL-- WHY I NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE? I viewed all the gallery of this person before for coloring and other stuff but never seen this !v!
YOU'RE HUGE HELP! thank you

yass, I guess I will try experimenting a bit, but then again, for that I will search for somebody, who will tell me if that looks good or not xD (since my mom only pays attention to anatomy mistakes... =v

Trinanigans In reply to popolis [2015-02-04 19:24:34 +0000 UTC]

Aye, seems like it indeed

Well, improvement might not be visible but it's always there

Yeaaahhh... has happened more than it should with me Then I usually send it all to hell and continue working on that layer.
Dunno, lock the layers you're not using, maybe that helps a bit.

Because dA is great and wide? Can't quite remember how I stumbled upon it but here it is lol


Hey, you're supposed to judge your own art first! :Y How can someone else tell you if it's good or not?Β

popolis In reply to Trinanigans [2015-02-04 20:16:52 +0000 UTC]

yeah... probably I better do that, so that I would know which one of them are already used xD

Great and wide like pacific ocean xD

might be true xD but when I judge, that work never sees daylight again, not to mention dA xDD

Don't worry, you're improving, you're just can't notice it ;u; and I think this drawing is a great example of your improvement.
You draw a lot, and by drawing a lot, you improve :3 draw not just only to be the best, draw because you enjoy it ;u; draw draw draw draw xD
I really like the glowyness in this drawing and those bubbles <3 :3 I think you did a great job

popolis In reply to Kewtz [2015-02-04 13:05:31 +0000 UTC]

maybe ;v; I think it's cause that improvement is slow =v=
'draw because you enjoy it' <-- I must agree with this, in my opinion it's best motivation x3 (I wish that other people would think the same =v

they were tried to make with tutorial x3
thank you~ ;u;

Both versions look great, hun. Β 

And you say that you don't improve. You do! A lot. It's me who's standing in one place

thank you ;u;

nuuu, you improved! seriously ;v; so don't say you're standing in one place x3 I guess we both are improving but on slow rate =v=

E-Zeal In reply to popolis [2015-02-04 16:33:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, we're probably are... I think I would improve faster, but I don't draw as much as I used to, all I do is animate and draw naked men 8D and I don't have any free time to do drawings for my own pleasure
