2draw.net - browse - Intermediate

This was a quicky and I did not clean up the line art because my mouse was making me extremely pissed off. This is the first time I have actually completely colored something and I know that I screwed up severely as the mecha looks perfectly flat. I have some time today and I would like to do a decent picture that is actually worthy of the intermediate board so if anyone has some pointers on perspective, coloring, shading, clean line art, or artistic technique in general please tell me.

I felt that I had to do this mecha to redeem myself for an unintentional slight I may have perpetrated ( I really do not know if this is true or not as the artist never actually said he was offended). I shall never again mistake a between-the-legs-cockpit mecha for a headless mecha.

I am currently laying down the base colors and am trying to decide how to shade this. I have never actually attempted to cell-shade before so I hope I do not screw up too badley.

F.Y.I. I did not take my time with the line art because my mouse (the school's mouse actually) was beginning to make me contemplate throwing it thru a wall.

Ya, you should seriously consider some cleaner lineart, it's not hard, you just need to go slowly. Might I also suggest some more colors in the shading, maybe even some speculars.

mikhail (Nov 26, 2003)

it has potential just clean it up and but some nice metallic shading in there

I'm a lover of technology especially mechs and stuff like that and this one's design looks awesome! Wish they'd do something like that.

The center eye looks rather... odd. Is it more like a humaneye or a round cyborg one with a lid on above it?

trying something diffrent

SuzieSuze (Sep 25, 2003)

Just trying a diffrent style.. don't like it much

ok well I don't think I am ever going to get to fixing this up.. so I guess this is it.

ehhh.........did you just flip my drawing?

It's good but it would have looked better if you didnt use the smudge tool as much as you did.

Harmanye (Nov 24, 2003)

LOL Fin_beast, not every picture of someone waving is a copy off of you ^_^

Anyway, less blur would be good, but it's one can't undo it now, just like one can't unring a bell.
I like her hair, and her face. Your hands are awesome, so hand-like, not just flesh coloured blobs.
I love her skirt, blue is good. ^_^

Her collarbone should be smaller and a shorter space should be between the depression of the bone. :D I like the pic though!

Outline of it looks rough.. if that helped any. The stem looks irregular though. It's skinny and thick in the wrong places. The stem part between the two leaves is skinny..

mikhail (Nov 23, 2003)

i like the texture on the rose

elana (Nov 24, 2003)

I like the rose, but maybe the stem shouldn't bend so much near the bottom. So much empty space!Grr! heehee, cant wait to see the finished product!

Dragon! Prettah! I love the blue bits between the spikes, and the scales are quite well done, I like how the background is blurred, it makes the dragon stand out more.

mikhail (Nov 24, 2003)

this is really good, creates a soothing enviornment..

Kiesume (Feb 24, 2004)

ok, forget what i said about the dragon with the girl looking like haku, this one looks more like haku than the other dragon you do, it does resemble haku, doesn't it?

Book Ghost. Teehee.
Oh, anyway. Comments please? (I know, I sound pitiful, but really, I'd like to have something, I mean. Uh. I'm blank right now)
BTW, I had this open for 22 hrs, but that's not how long it took.
Three hours at most; I like to mess around a lot, and I didn't feel like saving it unfinished anything.

mikhail (edited Nov 24, 2003)

yes it does look better, the drawing is well composed, however there is much free space above so i would suggest putting in a chandaleer with candles if u know what im talking about... and maybe you could make the ghost glow

Harmanye (Nov 24, 2003)

Glow. Hmm, I don't think glow would work, too much light from the fire to have more glowing stuff, wouldn't look right methinks.
There is a lot of free space, this I know and worry about.
When I start I don't usually know what I'm drawing beyond a rough idea, so my canvas size isn't always right.

Bubmp, bubmp, a chandalier, I don't know if that would work, they're rather Victorian, them chandeliers...
At least the ones I've seen are.
Maybe I can work it out, bubmp

Thank you Mr. Mikhail.

elana (Nov 24, 2003)

I like the lighting from the torch and the sconce! Are those trees outside or lightning?
