Good composition!
But try to work on the shading and colours more, because they cheapen a bit your work.
Nevertheless I like it :)

They look rather cool. You should draw them in a combat situation next.

Funny, for a minute I thought this was Dark Cloak's, yes I'd like to see them in combat.

your'e on begginer because unless it's intentional art thing, you didn't put enough effort into it. i think. and i'm not even talking shading. you could give their eyes and skin some color, do the line that separates the hands from body. make the heart more hearty and less pointt, and other stuff that are not hard to draw.
and if you wanted them to be equal, i'm not sure, but i think that you could do a full man, than copy him, and use each one for other side.
edit- i just saw you didnt want to use that tool. :)

And yet its on finished
JUST SAYING
I like the heart
:/
a bit pointy...
but eh

Sweetcell (Jun 20, 2006)

It's fine but you really need to spend more time on a piece and start working on shading, highlights, smoothing your lineart and making things cripser. Work some more on begginer till you get it then move over to intermediate. Otherwise your not ready yet.

why are you yelling at peanuts leave them be

CommaQueen (Jun 20, 2006)

Layer 0 is the bottom layer--it's where you should make your basic sketching and where you later can do the background/color the figures. Layer 1 is the top layer--don't use this layer until you're ready to make your final lineart, because you can't erase--if you use the tools to white stuff out it'll block it on the bottom. Think about them as layers of plastic that, when you paint on them, are no longer translucent. Hope that helps. :3

im done i think she dont got a body lol XD

Sweetcell (Jun 20, 2006)

CommaQueen I have to disagree. Use the main layer, the one you start out with, as your background, the next layer sketch your design, or the third it doesn't matter, but make sure your sketch is clear for you to get the shape to ink (line.) Next layer do the lineart by using the airbrush at med/low opacity and flow and make the lines thicker than you would, that way you can come back with the eraser on low to med/low opacity and shave the thickness down to what you want, not only do you get nice even lines this way but they're clean and very smooth. Make sure anti-alias is on. Then use another layer to color it in. Don't worry about going over the lines because you can erase the color that bled through (you also save your lineart.) You can get rid of your sketch layer now, unless your going to do a complicated background then you can use it as part of the background. I hope that makes sense. I always describe layers as tracing paper. You put tracing paper over an image you can trace that image and color it without ruining the original picture.

Hope that helps peanut. You'll find the layers on the left of the screen. Place you mouse over the icons and read what they are. The paper on the far left is the add layer tool.
