Just a little doodle of yours truly being lazy...Quite possibly the most accurate picture of me I've ever drawn. XD Please excuse my poor drawing, the lines would be WAY smoother if I drew this in pencil...Which I think I will! Overall, I think it turned out pretty good, for a first try, at least.

Basic Tutorial

cianteed2 (Jun 22, 2006)

Step 1: On layer 0, use a light colour, such as light blue, to make your preliminary lineart. It's easiest just to make broad geometric shapes in the same shape as your subject. This makes it easier when you go to "ink" your lineart, and ensures it will be proportionate (that is, if you DREW it proportionate!). Skipping this stage could cause your lineart to look disfigured, unless you've practiced enough to skip it.

Step 2: Next, go to layer 2. Use the pen or pencil tool (or whatever else you prefer) to make your lineart. Its good practice to experiment with different colours of lineart, but black is usually a safe bet. You can now erase the preliminary blue on layer 0. Tips: If your lineart looks too dark or intense, use the erase rectangle tool on low intensity and shave off a layer of it. It will make the lineart look finer and light, and when you go to colour the lineart wont look as separate from the colouring.

Step 3: On any layer lower than your black lineart, fill it in with colour! (but PLEASE dont use the "fill" tool. Not only will not work on a lower layer, but it looks ugly when people use it and it never goes to the edge of your lineart.)

Step 4: This step is just shading and detail. I'd go further into how to shade, but this isn't a shading tutorial! I just have 1 tip: Avoid shading dark areas with straight black. Shadows aren't black, they're merely darker tones of the same colour. However, if it's your "style" to shade with black, by all means go ahead.

looks familiar :)
this turned out nicely, good job!

But really, the shadow would be black wouldn't it? Only it is a bit transparent which is why it appears a darker shade of the same color...i dunno

cianteed2 (Aug 4, 2006)

actually theres no such thing as a black shadow. a shadow is just a lack of light, thus the subject's colour wouldnt turn black in a shadow - it would just be a darker version of its original colour.

Thank you guys, I am very jealouse of you O_O.

Sweetcell (Aug 2, 2006)

Well damn that's so unfair, even my scribbles look like crap when I draw with my left. *sigh* You do well with both hands.

Wait did that sound right?

~Wolf~ (Aug 3, 2006)

Wow! =O
OMG!
This is awhsome for a left hand, I can't draw a circle with my left, heck I can't even draw that good with my right hand.

GreenEye (Aug 4, 2006)

That's amazing! For a left-hand drawn pic that really is brilliant! I have no patience to draw with my left hand! Keep it up! ^_^
