staci (Jan 22, 2004)
the eyes are noice. how come you dont try like..NOT bluring? not that if thats what you like to do you shouldnt do it but..just wondering.
DMV (Jan 22, 2004)
thanx everyone for your comments ,Icats you are right about the blurring I guess cause it hidesmy mistakes It's not as blurry when I do it but when the pic gets commpressed it gets even more blurry... all you guys do some awsome stuff!

well, first drawing using a tablet or 2draw...not sure if i like it?
staci (Jan 22, 2004)
good first draw. cept the scythe looks rounded..like a giant nail/claw thing. but practice makes perfect, or so they say.
Soshell (edited Jan 22, 2004)
i think the scythe is in perspective like its pointing foreward..maybe thats why it didnt bother me at first glance, anyway this is a pretty good picture for your first with a tablet i heard those are difficult to get used to...*uses a mouse*
Fin_beast (edited Jan 22, 2004)
Pretty good Rhian!heh heh. Whey! We HAVE to do a collab! But....if you want critisism...The hands are a bit less detailed...they look like spanners. Are you liking Lascaux?
reenaleena (Jan 23, 2004)
hehe spanner hands, yeah i agree with the comments, guess practice makes perfect tho! |

Childlike_Vampire (Jan 22, 2004)
This is really awesome, and it really does look real. It looks like a prison wall to me, lol. Very nice!
staci (Jan 22, 2004)

*stamps foot* ok. im trying to fix this ongoing shading problem i seem to have. but dangit *stamps foot again* its not working. this is what i have so far...can anyone point out something i am doing wrong...right? *help*
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 21, 2004)
HAHA. No foot stomping. I just put comments on your other pics, go read those and then come back to this one. Now, you have already made some progress. You have a light source (an obvious one) and you made some highlights hitting her hair. Youve got the idea. Except since it's coming from behind her we cant do much with that. If we pretend its coming more from the left, you can add some highlights to the left side of the picture (her right side) try highlighting that side of her face, arm and her dress, graduating the color value to lighter the closer it is to the light source. Just keep working at it! : )
staci (Jan 22, 2004)
i agree with archer..good idea..light source..improvement...etc. pehaps you should start off with some inanimate objects. or just faces...and make your canvas bigger so you arent trying to squeeeeeeze all this detail in.
Childlike_Vampire (Jan 22, 2004)
This seems really obvious, but the most "smack your forehead duh" kind of good advice that helped me with shading was to "make your darks darker and your lights lighter". The higher the contrast between the light and the dark, the more 3d a picture looks. ^^
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 22, 2004)
Yes, Dixie! Both of the above great advice! Read and heed... :) |

not done yet. need a break.
staci (Jan 21, 2004)
ok i have a suggestion. you spent 33 minutes on this..now..you could take maybe another 33 minutes and add some shading and depth by looking at real subject..studying folds in fabric..see how light reflects color and makes shadows and highlights. play with the tools..as you have seen almost anything is possible to reproduce with these applets. i personally think you could do better if you took a bit more time.
dixielandcutie (Jan 21, 2004)
hey icats. thanks for the suggestion. i agree, it could be a lot better. my main problem is i dont know how...time isnt an issue, ill work on it as long as i need to. i will take your advice tho...thanks. (and i keep getting comments about shading...*clueless*...what is that?)um, ok...i tried to do what you said, but i dont think im doing it right. no it just looks like theres stain everywhere....*help?*
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 21, 2004)
Bless your heart, Dixie! :) Wish you lived next door to me and we'd get a paint brush and get messy lol. Okay, first of all, the image you drew is adorable, and the idea very creative. As for shading, there will be more than one color in a shadow of something (such as the folds of the fabric) would go from dark blue in the deepest fold, graduating blue tones upward until the lightest blue is on the outermost part of the fabric. Do that and blend. Work on thinking about which direction your light source is coming from, and keep it consistent in your pic. Everything casts a shadow somewhere if there is light. That'll give you a couple of things to think about. Hope it helps. Dont give up!!! |

the trouble is knowing when to stop!
staci (Jan 21, 2004)
its great to see you in color. this reminds me of jane..someone needs to get her over here
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 21, 2004)
Seriously looks like a migraine i had once. (lol) Very pretty piece.
thug (Jan 21, 2004)
I agree, It's great to see your art in color! ( thug=fin)

new aplet
thug (Jan 21, 2004)
funny you should say that, the photo I looked at was from a ruin of an insane asylum! I wish my version looked like the photo...kind of lonely and disturbing. I'll keep practicing, I'm only a doodler and have never painted.
staci (Jan 21, 2004)
yeah i think its disturbing but a tad too clean. thats why a urine or blood stain might add to the eerie-ness. but i like it just like it is as well
ToraNeko (Jan 21, 2004)
>.< Eww, Okay, nasty images to that comment Icats, but yes, I agree. Darken the sheets, rust on the frame, and the frame is too shiny to be glum. It looks goldeny, now we are thinking of happy ponies! Not nasty stuff on the floor....
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 21, 2004)
OMG! Never mind me napping there then! lol Please dont stain the sheeeeeeets!!!! ;) |

shading!
dixielandcutie (Jan 21, 2004)
haha. scarey? oh my. any suggestions on how to shade? i dont really know how...HAHA. okay, if she wasnt scary before...she is now. i tried some shading, and now she just looks bruised, lol. umm...guess its >>back to the drawing board<< *hehe* im gonna practice some light/dark stuff *sigh*
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 21, 2004)
Okay, Dix, it's not _that_ scary. :) lol. It's really great for a beginning. With every piece you do, you'll learn and evolve. On this one, I think your choice of colors is really good, even in the skin tones. For the shading on a face, try to remember to highlight the plains and darken the receding places for shadows. Blend it with the rest of the face. And for shading in your backgrounds and with objects, to get perspective remember that colors are less vibrant the farther away they are, and things are less defined in general. Now practice some more! And if u have a tablet, USE IT! You've got talent! Love ya Dixie. :) |
