fun little face for a Icon ... LOL

for a friend of mine.
i need another nap -_-

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.

palp is blab upsidedown almost.

Hopefully it'll turn out decent. It's a picture of Between and her mother before she gained her strange appendage. (As always, harsh critique would rock. I'll take anything as long as it's not just wailing on my art. I'm not angry if it's got even the slightest bit of info on what to change but what really gets me is "It sucks" -_- because I'm a new artist and I know it sucks, that's why I want you amazing artists out there to tell me what I could do to..unsuck =3! Because lord knows I envy all of you here.)

loosly from a referance but I have walked through lots of forrests like this on the Oregon and Washington coast.

i'm bored but i have a ton of studying and homework to do... o woe is me TT_TT

Women are like apples on trees

The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good
ones because they are afraid of falling and
getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take
the apples from the ground that aren't as
good, but easy.
The apples at the top think something is
wrong with them, when in reality, they're
amazing.
They just have to wait for the right man
to come along, the one who is brave
enough to climb all the way to the top of
the tree.

cool tool
