Description (no, it's not spirited away wallpaper pack like I said before)

Hello!

Since there are people ask me how I do this or that in my painting. I decided to create a mini guide of the technique I use.

Hope it helpful to you all!
and feel free to share your opinion.

Wow, this tutorial is GREAT! To be honest, I never even thought of using a color pencil for lineart before! To think I own this awesome set of 70 color pencils... Ah, this inspired me! Thanks!

Thank you for making this! I adore your style, it always makes me feel a bit nostalgic and calm <- this means your style works, yay! Err, now I have to go search some textured things to draw on xD I always just grab any pencil I can find at the time.. hmm, I should pay more attention to it >_<

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Raindropmemory In reply to Hiwiwy [2009-03-06 17:40:25 +0000 UTC]

Sure!
But the story in the picture is much more important than pencil.

Hiwiwy In reply to Raindropmemory [2009-03-06 20:36:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I guess so
Somehow, my best drawings are in my notebooks when doodling with a random pencil, and when I try to draw it again on line-less paper, I just can't do it xD It makes me kind of sad

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Raindropmemory In reply to Hiwiwy [2009-03-07 02:05:26 +0000 UTC]

xD Same here. Doodling is always amazing than the real one~!

Hiwiwy In reply to Raindropmemory [2009-03-07 12:50:18 +0000 UTC]

Isn't it? It drives me mad! xD Also, in my case, I love the sketch, but it looks horrible when I color it O_O

Raindropmemory In reply to Hiwiwy [2009-03-07 14:13:11 +0000 UTC]

Man, same here again!!!
I love the sketch version of this pic so much [link]
But looks so ugly after finished colouring...

We've been cursed!!

Hiwiwy In reply to Raindropmemory [2009-03-07 14:36:44 +0000 UTC]

That sketch is so cute
I saw the colored version in your How-to-draw-Nostalgically thingy, and I didn't hate it or anything, but I kind of understand what you mean when you say it's ugly, because it's not really how the rest of your colored things are xD
Noo! *slaps away curse* Ack! It keeps coming back! >_< xD

Raindropmemory In reply to Hiwiwy [2009-03-08 17:47:36 +0000 UTC]
