this looks like an Ouch. isn't there supposed to be some twist or crack in the bone?
TammyF (Aug 16, 2006)
Ouch!! Looks painful! Nice shading here :~) Great to see you here!
tamsentamsen (Aug 16, 2006)
Nice to see you too tammy! Thanks, didn't know you were here... I will work on the twist, I think I might do the whole draw over in Lascaux Sketch, where I am getting abetter handle on the tools...

I like how you did the shadow, looks cool :D
tamsentamsen (Aug 9, 2006)
thanks... one practice at a time... I am not exactly sure how I got the texturized effect, but it was fun once I stumbled upon it!

Looks good, clean up the tree lines, and are you using layers? It helps if your painting behind something. Keep going tam.
tamsentamsen (edited Aug 9, 2006)
thanks sweetcell, I am just such a total beginner, at 2draw, and at art in general, that I ran out of space in my clumsy attempts at experimenting... so much time, and so few pixels... haha... I did try layers... but it was my first time with them, so not so well !

Thanks for all the help, Sweetcell... I am having fun with the layers...

It took my 2 months to figure out what everyone meant by layers. i need to be more freindly, then someone coulda told me how ta do em
Sweetcell (Aug 9, 2006)
Took me a while to figure out layers too (the same for everyone) I describe layers as transparant paper, or tracing paper. Every layer you draw on you can see through the next. So, the first (bottom) layer is the background. Each layer you add after is like placing another sheet of paper on the last. So the top piece of paper (the last layer on the very top) will cover the others. So use the first layer as the background. Anything you draw on it will always be behind the layers, so you can actually color over your main layers and not go over your picture. (In this case the background is the sky and ground and the second layer is the tree. You can color your sky without coloring over your tree and get a smoother effect.)

Sketch on the second or third layer, then ink on the same or another layer, and then color on yet another layer, and you can get a clean looking piece. It sounds like more work but it's worth it. Hope this has helped with the layer confusion. I wish someone had told me but it's a bit hard to explain it properly.

You'll find the layers on the left. There's the window that shows you your actions, beneath that are the layer tools. The paper is the add another layer. Click until you get as many as you need. You can merge them, like glueing two sheets of paper together, takes up less space, or delete, or even switch them around. It's fun to try and expiriment. Good luck and hope to see more from you. :)
