Description
Links in the tutorial:Posemaniacs [link]
Fotosearch [link]
DeviantArt Stock [link]
Character Designs [link]
SAI [link]
Coloring Tutorial: [link]
EDIT: I just added the music version to DeviantArt ^^ Hit "S" on your keyboard to play it, then "X" to turn it off.
Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys on your keyboard to flip through the pages, and then use the UP key to return to the table of Contents.
IF THE KEYS DON'T WORK then just click on the image first and THEN use the keys.
Some of you might wonder why I didn't just do the Sora picture in the coloring tutorial... well... I wouldn't be able to do the whole perspective talk that everyone keeps asking me about XD Happy reading, I hope it's not too confusing.
I had some help with this one, so... I'd like to thank my boyfriend just cause, then some of my friends on my FFXI Linkshell and my Coworkers for helping me proofread and dealing with my frustrations @_@
And super super super thanks to all of you guys for your support

This tutorial is EPIC. Thank you very much. You explained a lot of important details that I have always ignored like horizon lines and multiple perspective points. However, now that my brain knows how to process them you made it a million times easier. I also like how you made the tutorial interesting by adding your character, music and animations. Thank you very much.

I have the free version of Sai, is there anywhere that I can download the Edit tool and Curve tool?:c
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh.. .the free version doesn't have the vector lineart layer? It should be the layer right next to the normal new layer.

This has really helped my understanding of drawing digitally, especially with perspective

Very helpful! But how did you determine the perspective for the curving section of the highway? And how do you do perspective for irregular shapes in general? @_@ Thanks so much for the tutorial!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, to be honest, the highway curve doesn't follow the perspective line so it makes it more dynamic that way 
But as for the perspective of irregular shapes... just break the irregular shapes into squares/rectangles, things that are easy to follow the perspective line with!

It looks to me that SAI is way easier to work with than PS, the line art process looks so easy~
And you also covered the scanning process, and it's something I didn't know how to do properly...
O_O have I already told you that I love you?
