Hi! I'm new here. I'm a bit shy!
I decided to post a simple and cute picture as my first, I hope it is okay! ( It says it took long, but in fact I was cooking)
A Tibetan Terrier puppy meeting a hamster!
No real reference used, but I see my dog of the same breed every day so I have a good idea of what they look like.

Aco's are very very cute RO characters. :3 Cute drawing, too. Though, adding more detail to the costume/uniform would make it stand out a lot more! :D

Cute, but not intermediate quality :\ *moved*

Rainbow PJ's

Ruthallia (Feb 1, 2008)

I just wanted an excuse to use rainbow colors and practice with figure. Her legs will look a bit odd, but I decided to leave them that way for a more cutesy look.

What can I add, if anything, to the upper left corner? Is the negative space ok? Suggestions on the "Retro" style background are welcome. Please do.

Maiko (Feb 1, 2008)

Knees are a little low :o

but it's very cute :D

is that a heartless I seee? B:

Ruthallia (Feb 2, 2008)

Thank you everyone. And thank you Maiko, I'll try to pay better attention to where I place the knees next time (all help appreciated :3 )

Sweetcell (Feb 2, 2008)

It's a sexy pose to be sure and I like her legs like that. Anime limbs are rather distorted.
And as for the bg, well she's brushing her teeth so...... a bathroom. Sink, mirror, toilet behind her. Maybe a towel on the floor to catch the little black thingy. :)
Ahhhh, love to be able to get away with wearing rainbow leg warmers.

STARZSHINE (Feb 6, 2008)

Very cool, silk screen look, was this done with layers, and masking? I am a newbie and would love some pointers on how this is done. :D thanks

patienceisoverrated (edited Feb 7, 2008)

thanks, I use layers, I don't find masking very useful unless you are using your brush with anti-alias turned off, it's always screwing up around edges. I use the round brush on full flow/opacity with the soft edge, the third one down to the left of the brush size selector thingy, and then use the same eraser to whittle down or define the shapes. This is a lot like using the pen tool, if you're familiar with shi-painter, but without the flow. Lascaux has a really useful 'preserve layer transparancy' thing that can be used a little like mask and will preserve the smooth edges, that's how I did the crane in the feather shape. I drew in the feather shape on a new layer in all one colour, then preserved transparancy, so I could draw the crane in without messing up the details on the edges of the feathers. The girl and background are on the bottom layer, the spine on the next, and then the feathers and crane on top.
