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.

ninja...

Callypso (Jul 21, 2004)

i'm finally getting the hang of lascaux....so i drew a ninja.
it was a totally random idea that came out so i went with it. the bg took a horribley long time, longer than to draw the ninja and colour her. this is probably why i don't do bg's, it takes so bloody loooong >_<.
...and once again, green hair ^_^

Golden Sunset

starmarked (Jun 22, 2004)

Used a reference picture, but I changed some of the details. I am finaly glad to be finished with this one, it did take me a while but not as long as the timer says. Sometimes you don't realize how much detail there is in a picture.

Sister Moons. (Final Piece For Exam part 2)

Fin_beast (May 20, 2004)

I have another 2 hours left for my exam! I may have to do another after lunch... Sorry Marcello!
The timer is wrong.
It messed up just over half way I think. I had to refresh and restore.
I have surprised myself with these two exam pieces. ^_^ Yey!

Gigandas (Aug 31, 2004)

Whoa....this is pretty damn good Fin.I'm just curious though on a critique note, does reflected light not apply to planets....?I'm not quite sure but I thought maybe the surrouding stars support that.

Koneko-sama (Nov 13, 2004)

This is beautiful. I would have quit halfway through if I had to draw so many stars.. >_o
