Description Well i've decided to make a tutorial about something i actually know something about. that made no sense. forgive me it's 2 AM. I spent a great deal too much time on this, and had a great deal too much fun. I am by no means an expert, but i hope this is helpful to someone.
if you do anything with it, please show it to me! (and link back to the tutorial, dur)
oh and i forgot to mention in the actual tutorial- this is all done on OpenCanvas 1.1. just for the record.
i know i had something else to say but i can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Har har. My technique is so very different. I just kidn of go with the flow with the colours, but then again I don't use OC and I don't really do portraits very much. Ha ha. I like that sketch in the last step with the fairy.

XD You pic shades exactly the same way I do: toward the red, down to the right XD

The color scheme thing was really good and something i should think about more often >_>

splashley07 In reply to toerning [2006-12-20 02:48:57 +0000 UTC]

I actually used this technique! Not to the extreme that you did but that's mostly because cartooning and realism are different XD

but I used more dynamic shading in my skin tones instead of the 'oh so popular' cell-shading technique

Damn...it's fun!
