People have been asking, so here it is.
Be sure to read the revision comments for detailed information.
Click through the revisions to see the steps of the process. It may also help to watch the animation.

To summarize: Zoom, layers, and patience are essential for good lineart.

For an example of how this looks in Lascaux, check the difference between revisions 7 and 9 on my pic Robot No. 3. It may help to zoom in to see the difference, and look at his hands in particular.

This isn't great, I realize. Not exactly a subject matter I like, though.

Just laying down some basic ideas.

Drats, I hit my 400Kb limit again. Can't revise any further. There is too much emphasis on the knee to the left. I have some anatomical issues there but it wouldn't be so obvious if I didn't goof up the shading there.

Silly Buggers

GreenEye (Mar 12, 2006)

A horse's favourite game- silly buggers. However, normally the owners find the repercussions the hard way! ^_^

deformed---> wanted it out of my studio. If you ever want to finish it, knock yourself out. Otherwise, I don't care either way.

Is this good so far? Any thing you want changed?

patienceisoverrated (edited Mar 12, 2006)

Eeee! It's looking cuuute... one thing, the yellow and blue at the top of the socks seems too bright for the rest of the colours... maybe lighten it up a bit?

Deformed (Mar 12, 2006)

Ok... I'll work on it.

comd (Mar 12, 2006)

Excellent concept for a character. I have to agree about the blue and yellow there: the character has a charming muted look about her in terms of the colors, and the bright blues and yellows draw the eyes too much there.
