Description *ATTENTION!!!

*CHECK OUT the step-by-step process at...[link]

Guys, I need your help. I tried uploading the vid file into DA but without any success. So I'm afraid you'll just have to view the short clip in YouTube for now till I figure things out. Due to many requests on how I go about getting started in a drawing,and apparently some are still not satisfied with the step-by-step drawing refs I've posted in the past, here's a short clip of how I draw for y'all.
Sorry its a bit blur and it cuts off midway...my digicam memory card was running out of space, but anyways,hope it'll do for now till I can get something better out.

This is specially for and for the rest of you out there,you know who you are, who've asked.
Sorry it took so long to get this out.

Oops! Forgot to mention about the process...first of all,sometimes I'd get a stick figure going at one side of the sheet before I anticipate to roughly and lightly sketch out the guidelines. I will always start with doing the face first before the rest of the body come together. I've used a pencil I knicked from the hotel,but u can all use a steady B pencil for that same purpose. After I'm satisfied with the guidelines, I'll quickly start to darken the outline with my trtusty red mech pencil. I always try to nail the eye and expression first,giving life to the character. Then the rest will follow easily.

Cheers folks!

Sandora In reply to Ermy [2007-01-08 03:37:51 +0000 UTC]

Heyas Ermy,thanx very much for your comment. The only best advice that ican give anybody is that you gotta train your eye and hands by practicing continuously daily. Get some good animal reference books (even the National Geopraphic is good enough) and study the anatomy structure of each species of animals. Look at what other artists are doing and get inspired from them. If you have the passion and the drive,then you're already halfway to achieving your goal. Hope that'll help you in your endeavour and hope you'll get to the stage where you aspire to be.

Nice vid Sandra. Thanks for taking the time to put that together and sharing.

Yes, you draw very fast and accurately. You have to, especially when you have to draw so many frames of animation.

What tools did you use for this exercise?

Have you tried putting the file in swf file? Sometimes I have the same problem too. If the file's really big don't worry chances are it's there after submission but it'll take time to load.

metalgearray09 [2006-12-12 07:15:04 +0000 UTC]

Neat, you have a really cool drawing process.
Um, that thing you did at the beginning, was that to mark the end of the tail?
Do you do that before you start the head?
