haha whoops. Yeah, that was my first collab too. Actually, this is my first art trade, I think. Or at least my first one in like three years. Yeah, it will be faster if we do an art trade, so lets stick with that. :) still want to stick with the same theme, or do we want to do a different one. Once again, sorry im such a horrible procrastinator :(.
Hi darkxraven! I checked out your gallery, I see you have some basic knowledge of coloring using tablet but I'll be happy to help you out more. :)
If you are using tablet, it's better to use Photoshop because you can draw lines of various strength since tablet has pressure. The more you press, the thicker the line is. When you are doing lineart, try to make your lines of various thickness to make it look lively. For example, thin lines for hair and folds in the clothes, and thicker lines where there are shadows. But keep in mind, you don't have to press very hard, since this can wear your tablet out very fast.
Secondly, the most important thing about using Photoshop is to learn about layers. Layers are important so that you can color things separately. For example, one layer is your lineart. One layer is used to color the hair, and another layer is used to color the skin.
I can elaborate further, but this is just the basic stuff you need to know. Anymore you want to know, just ask me. >w<
Yeah, I'm so sorry, I thought we were collaborating, that's why I was waiting any progress from you, haha. I'm sorry, this is the first time I collab online... X___x But if it's art trade, I can do it much faster. Would you like it to be an art trade? :)
eh heh heh. erm...speaking of other people drawing your OC's....haha. Remember that art trade thinger we panned to do..oh...last year or so? Wanna start that back up anytime?
oh wow that is a pretty cool picture. She did especially well with the body. I would check her out, but I can't risk going on DA when I'm at home OTL Everytime I try it, it screws up my computer, despite all the virus protection I have on here. But yeah, I'll definitely hit her up on Monday ;-)
