Amazinggg nikki-chan! <333 I love him and his eyes and everything. And, I'm not an amazing person, I have been pretty derpy on TheO. :3 Not replying to comments and all. :/ Still, thank you so much! Xoxoxo/ :D
Digital art= spam ctrl-z no lie. I mostly use the mouse to color over my hand drawn layer so I technically just follow the guidelines. But man, using the mouse is just horrible. You get used to it but it's really not worth it (hand cramps).
Yeah I worry about messing up too, that's why I color digitally because I'll have the original saved. color can make things look nicer but it's tricky to master :x
Thanks but I believe you have better control. I'm horrible with digital art especially with a mouse. I think my problem is i'm afraid I will mess it up adding color lol
Yeah coloring is a pain but that might be because to me I don't know which colors to use and I don't understand the the concept of staying within the line (so would have failed kindergarten if they graded that), oh and it takes long. I should try drawing on paper again; feels so different than with a tablet/mouse.
You got really good control. I don't see any mistakes on your art especially with pens -envy-
Thanks so much! I loooooove sketching and drawing with pens and pencils that might be why I like shading surprisingly coloring or adding color is my least fav ugh
Well you did a great job ;) Shading/lighting really help bring out the eyes too (and the rest of the art) and you're really good at that as well. Shading drove me insane that I stopped caring at a certain point (scattershot ftw)
Thanks so much ^^ I used crayola colored pencils I'm telling you though its the paper lol its some kind of recycled paper so cheaper colored pencils look better on it lol
Thank you, I was worried about the eyes ( i have an eye thing too ) but I appreciate that you think they express those emotions ^^ Thats what I was aiming for
This came out very nicely. I especially like his eyes; they're sad but intense at the same time. Maybe I just have an eye fetish because they're really expressive and beautiful
This reminds me of when he has to fight Annie, how he couldn't transform because he was doubtful.
No not crying blood, after he was thrown across a building he got pretty banged up. The original picture I looked at was darker so I'm sure he has cuts around his eyes and face ^^
Thanks so much! I've been using a cheaper colored pencil (for whatever reason my prisma don't blend well with the paper i've been using) so I was worried with how it would come out. But thanks i'm so glad you like it
Your coloring is really great! The colors you use for the shading look nice, especially the way you did the shadows on his shoulders. :) The eyes look really intense, as well! Nice work~
