Description AKA: Process of Doom 2.

Ok so like, I'm just going to generalize and call it a tutorial, even tho it's just supposed to be a sharing of how I draw and not teach any right way of CGing.

This is the second version of my tutorial, changed as my ways of CGing changed. I did not make it into a mosaic image because I created a few gifs for specific details, such as brush strokes or processes of creating certain effects, because I feel that since we're all artists, we probably would get the idea better by seeing it visually than reading "and so I open the Layers windows via Windows and switch to layer 4, which is set to Overlay under layer mode, and choose Fading Airbrush under 50%opacity in normal mode and draw a 45 degrees slant line across the canvas in a slightly curbed manner". Although the actual degree of effectiveness may vary from individuals.

THERE ARE 2 WAYS TO SEE THE TUTORIAL.
Option 1: click on "download" and download the zip I uploaded, and open index.html, and follow on from there. All image captures are included IN the package so you can view it offline.
Option 2: The whole tutorial is featured on my ARTSITE HERE: [link] , under Goodies, in the CG Tutorial ver.2 link. You can go there to see it if you don't want to download anything. removed during site renovation!

I hope this is helpful and I hope I didn't make a fool of myself with it. Have fun.

Thank you so much, Shilin! I was wondering if you had abandoned this project, since i remembered you saying that you'd make this quite a while ago...Heh. I won't doubt you again; I'll just know that you procrastinate like the rest of us. ^___^

Hmm, I noticed that when one gets to page four, three is highlighted instead on the page menu.

Eh, minor nitpick. But yeah, just in case you wanted to know.

Excellent stuff, by the way.

i wanna ask one thing...in the turtorial you mentioned to make 2 layers and on the seconed layer you retrace eevrything, howed you do it? retracing everything is difficult and especially how can you make the lines go where exactly you want to go using a mouse?

Altheran [2006-10-26 01:50:50 +0000 UTC]

why would you call it the "Process of Doom"
don't you know what doom means?
doom: "an unpleasant or disastrous destiny"
so if they follow your tutorial everything will turn out badly? that doesn't sound like people would want to follow it....but maybe they want to be just as bad as you

Somewhat long tutorial xD. Went over it twice but I still could never do anything close to what you do ._. Not that I'm trying to follow your method of CG-ing -shifty eyes-. !aiee, Shilin is too talented >_<. I can't even follow how Rain's does her art x_x. But maybe this tutorial will help with with doing highlights and shading better I dunno...
