It's coming out great! I'm still trying to figure out your style. I mean I can tell it's your work right away, but I can't point out what's making it so different from other drawings. Maybe the way you use greyish colors. Hum..

It's probably recognizable because I do it here exactly as I would if I were working on a real canvas, maybe? I build up from a base and I blend alot, and then try not to "spit and rub" the brush strokes at the end, leave them visible. Maybe that's it...

Can someone please tell me if there is a Lascaux Tutorial somewhere waiting patiently for me to view it? :) I could have sworn I saw something here about it while browsing but can't find it again. I MUST learn to use all of the tools there! HELLLLP.

Dreams of a Wooden Shoe

alwaysLearning (Feb 9, 2004)

Wynken and Blynken and Nod, one night,
Sailed off in a wooden shoe,
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three;
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea...
...Nets of silver and gold have we."
Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod.

...and the little stars are the herring fish,
that live in that beautiful sea...

This image was supposed to be Wynken, Blynken, and Nod. <sigh> I hate the learning curve on new tools...

Edit 12 March 2004: Well, I got more space allotted so that I could finish this piece, only to find that the image doesn't come up properly when I try to edit it; so I'm giving up and marking this piece as finished, though I may revisit the concept later -- it's given me some ideas that I really want to work with some more. :)

As mentioned, this image was supposed to be Wynken, Blynken, and Nod. They used to have faces. So did the moon. They disappeared in a layer alteration. I don't understand how to make ShiPainter work with the layers! Waaah! I convinced myself, after much argument, not to do the cyberspace equivalent of wadding this up in a little ball and tossing it in the trash. Quite possibly I should have. The stars looked better earlier in the creative process, too. But, I really kind of liked the soft watercolour illustration look of this piece, like something from a book for very young children... ...so I caved. <sigh>

Feel free to tell me whether or not you think I should have.

oh ...my....goodness. this has to be my absolute favorite poem/song in the world. that is so precious. i love what youre doing with it so far, and cant wait to see it done

zorb (Feb 10, 2004)

I agree with you dixlandcutie. I love the style. It's the kind of watercolor illustraion that you see in a lot of kids books.

It's not as much progress as I'd hoped for in this session, but I got the shoe moved further down in the picture, finished the woodgraining, and added some perspective to the stars... ...and, most importantly, you can now see the whole of the moon. :) Next step, I replace the face on the moon, and the minimal indications of faces on Wynken, Blynken, and Nod. Best of all, I've got a much better understanding of how the layers work in Shi-Painter! *does a happy dance* I think I've even cut down on the storage space that this image should take. :)

dixielandcutie (Feb 9, 2004)

the sketch is lovely. and im certainly not the best qualified to help...but one suggestion i will make is one that everyone told me...make the contrast of colors more distinct. thatll help shading in general...hair, skin, clothes...yea. but nice job. i like :)

rot-k (Feb 9, 2004)

I appreciate your comment and your helpful advice. I think the sketch is better than the final result... <more distinct contrast> ok I'll try this next time!

good job! i like the colors a lot...a few suggestions just for next time tho: use a blend or blur tool to help make it so there are no splotchy parts...thatll make it flow nicely. also nice shading und the neck! dont be afraid to use that same idea on the whole thing. picture where your light source is coming from, and give all the colors a light contrast makeover. good luck, and nice work!

You may want to zoom in to get cleaner lines. And don't use the fill tool, it's bad for newbies.
