Woo~! You did a screenshot Man.. that was quick xD

Looking at the sketch underneath, you do all of the details in the inking process? Or do you go back and add a couple of details to the sketch once you've done a character?
(I love seeing how other people create their work ^^) And for the line-art (like the hands and his face etc) do you draw a rough line then build it up and go round the edges with an eraser? (or am I the only one that spends too much attention to the line-art? xD) What kind of brush do you use, too? ...am I asking too many questions? xDDD

Don't feel as though you have to answer, I'm just curious

Oh yea~! Could we all get a screenshot of you mid-colouring when you get a chance? (or am I really asking too much now >_>')

Anyway, I love how you've set this piece out, the placing of all the characters and how it kind of goes from a portrait to a profile (across the characters) adds a lot of depth to the scene. It's also great to see so much movement in all the characters, rather than them all being posers xDD
I'm looking forward to seeing this finished ^^

P.S. Sorry to hear (...read) about your lame ass internet - hope it sorts itself out (...good luck with that xD)

hehe~
My sketch layer is where I draw everything, even the details. It may be a bit sloppy and have alot of messy lines, but as long as I can tell what needs to be inked and such, it's all good.
I first draw a basic stick figure (the stick figure layer was deleted before I took this shot) and then flesh it out on the "sketch" layer. I draw them bald and naked first. lol. Then, on another layer, I add all their clothes, hair, details and such and then merge it onto the sketch layer.
As for the line art, I don't draw rough lines. I just do fine, thin lines and then add weight to them by making them thicker. I only use eraser when I mess up. And line art is VERY important to me, so don't feel bad, hehe. I spend alot of time on line art because it's real fun to do.
I just use a regular brush on photoshop - size 9-19 when I draw, and size 5-9 when i ink.

Hmmm..I wasn't planning on coloring this....
but I will get a shot of a coloring picture once I get to one, XD

thanks for the comment *huggles*
hope I answered your questions..if u have more, feel free to ask, ^_^

Wow... you use such big brushes xDD Either your pictures are *HUGE* or... you're just... really good at doing line-art xDD (I usually only use sizes 1-3 >_>' )

Here's another question for you.... can we collab?1/1?!?! *fangirl-like squeel*

... joke, joke xDD

The "real question": Do you do everything via computer and photoshop? Or do you change depending on what part of the picture you're doing?
And uhh... oh yea, how long have you been drawing for?

Take care 'n' I hope I didn't scare yer xD

Hehe - well, I use big brushes mainly because I like my lines heavy. I tried doing lighter/thinner lineart...but the image didn't suit me, hehe. Also, I use a tablet, so it all depends on the pressure.

As for the collab...hmm..I'll consider it...but definitely not now. Not because I don't want to, but because I'm just so loaded >.<

I use all kinds of media. Mostly computer, though, because it's quick and there's nothing to clean up, hehehe. Currently, everything is digital because I ran out ink for line art stuff >.< I usually draw and ink by hand and color it on the computer.
I've been drawing for a long time...but have only been serious about it for about a couple months now.

Yea, I have to admit, I find thicker lines nicer to look at than thinner ones (unless they're used for details, d'uh )

You're going to consider the collab? O_O' Wow *honoured* (if only I could spell >_> ) Loaded? I take it you're at school/college/uni, then? Heh, those places suck the life out of everyone ;_;' Good luck with everything, though Oh yea, I checked out your comic briefly, haven't had a decent chance to read all of it yet, though - but it seems pretty ace so far

hehe, I take it you're a big fan of "ctrl +z", too? xDD Man that thing's a life saver And you've only been serious for a couple of months? O_o;;; I hope you learnt most of your skills before that... otherwise you put a lot of people to shame with how long it took you to get this good xDD

Hmm.. I feel kinda bad for flooding your comments page with a convo >_>'
