GYAAHA another one!
So nice to see these, it really is.
To draw takes a certain skill in observation, i see this when you add the smallest lines in details.
People underestimate the small stuff, glad you don't ^u^

GUUUUUUURL YOU KNOW I'M GONNA DIE WATCHING YOU DRAW TAK WHEN THE DAY COMES!
HUG, so ready for that

Thankyouuuuuu!!!

And you know I just have to bring up your Tak head-canon during that video

And yes, thanks ^^  I feel like details are really important  That's one reason I love IZ-- OMG the freaking DETAIL in that show!   If you really look at some of the backgrounds they use, even just for a split second shot, there is an extraordinary amount of detail put in most of the time.  And even though I hate drawing backgrounds myself, I really do appreciate seeing it put into practice

*heart is pounding* my ego is ready
LOL jk but awwww you are too sweet, imma be blushing the whole tiiime!

YES THE DETAIL, HOLEH CRUD
HAHA yeah the backgrounds are probably what astonish me the most!
Also, the clothing -- how those guys came up with those outfits and armor and all that amazing technology i'll never know, but it is TRULY genius

Well get ready to blush a LOT lol    I was in such a talkative mood tonite I already finished my Gaz and Tak videos, and I mention quite a bit how much I love your head-canon for her, and even how I ship her with Hash  And oh man, did I frickin' RAMBLE during that video for some reason!  Like, I never shut up once  Well, you'll see what I mean ^^  

I'll probably post both of them tomorrow.  I would space them out, but telling you all this and making you wait more than a day would be horribly cruel of me heh heh XD  And oh yeah, do you mind if I link to your gallery for the Tak vid?  No?  Okay, didn't think so lol  

I'm getting so addicted to making these vids now!  Imma have to do one for everyone!: The Tallest, Professor Membrane, Ms. Bitters... And I definitely wanna do one for Gretchen (nope, don't care if she is a background character, gotta do one for my favorite little girl    )  I just wish I had the capability to show how I do everything else in Photoshop to complete my drawings    I have NO idea how to do those speedpaint things or whatever though.  But oh well, I'm still having fun just drawing the basic way ^^

        YOU'RE TOO NICE, TOO NICE!!!
HAHAHA aww trust me it's worth the wait


As for your addiction they are REALLY fun, aren't they?
And i know myself and others appreciate it A LOT to see you work and hear your voice and your thoughts

Awww yeah i'm beside myself with that But again, we all appreciate just seeing THIS

SPEAKING OF, how DO you set up your camera?

Spectra22 In reply to Fae-CaptainofDreams [2015-07-31 13:28:01 +0000 UTC]

Okay, Imma try and explain this coherently

I have a small stool I sit on the floor, then above it on a glass table I have two (strong) rulers hanging off the ledge with some books sitting on top of them.  I have this flashlight that I have sitting on the table (that's like a floodlight) that I turn on to get the extra light (you may not need this-- my room is kinda dark-- and I don't know if you've got a glass table or not.  You can see the shadows from the set up sometimes in the vids, and it's kinda a pain, but maybe you could set a lamp on the floor or something, however you can figure it out so there's maximum light and minimum shadows).  Then I just sit the camera lens between the rulers and put my paper on the stool, turn it on, and draw  It's crude, but it works ^-^

Spectra22 In reply to Fae-CaptainofDreams [2015-08-02 02:25:09 +0000 UTC]

It really is XD

Maybe you could use one of those crane-y neck lamps and sit in on the floor next to the paper to get the light?  NNNNGGGHHH I DON'T REALLY KNOW!!    but just keep trying stuff and see what works ^^
