I had one of these before. A more of a help out a n00b out collaborations.

It's to improve the skills of the lesser talented. I'm sick of the bad drawings and having to comment/ see comments about how you need to improve, but people don't listen. So here's how it works. The drawing already needs to be partially done. Then, if you need help, I will help with lineart, coloring, backgrounds, details, proportions , etc. (Note, I can only use Shi and Paintbbs) I will only do this with people that have trouble with something.

I'll post a list of people who need help. If any other more expirienced people want to help out, i'll put you up here, too.

Helpers- Knockoff, Squee
Being Helped. No one.

I need help :O! *raises hand* pick mee!!! ~(*D*)/

Hmm, you seem a bit too over qualified.

I was rejected \(;D;)/ *boohoos*

QUOTE. "It's to improve the skills of the lesser talented." I'm not quite sure if you are being serious, but if you are, you should re-look over the forum post.

but I am lesser talented, now, teach me :o!

The only two individuals on this post are you two. XD And Maiko, you don't need help. Your art is fine the way it is~ Leave the improvement to those who need it. :D

Well I would like help. I have a hard time with backgrounds and shading. Porportions aren't best with me. Am I qualified?

Nice thread except I'm not sure the "lesser talented" users are willing to come here. They seem to think we insult them on purpose. And I don't think I could help though...I don't know what I'm doing half the time (or more). ^^;

Sure, inatyrb. When you need help on the drawing, let me know.
Nekodesu, I agree, but last time I got a few people that wanted the help, so i'm hoping some more will come here and take the help.

Can I help? I'd love to help out here!

I've helped out a few people before lol Well, maybe just one or two. So I will be a helper too, KO! :)

w00t. I'm a helper monkey! *dances*

Alright.. I will be doing something as soon as i get Java reinstalled on my comp. For some reason my computer went weird and claims that I don' t have java installed anymore. Not only that, but i can't keep any cookies anymore. Checked to see if i have a virus, and no virus was detected. I'm confused.
I was also supposed to be helped last time but wasn't... Maybe this is a catch up thing instead.^^

Yeah. A few people asked me, never really contacted me on what they wanted help on. Just send me a memo if you'd like help on a picture, alright?

Am I a 'lesser talented' that would qualify for help?
I do have much trouble with backrounds, at least.. =\
Oh, but I've only ever used Lascaux sketch.. o.o;

can I be a helper too? >_> since you REJECTED ME ;__;

I could use some help with the curtain on my newest masterpiece.

I would also like to be of good use to some people despite my 'Newcomer' title.

*jumps off her chair* well, I need help with everything @_@ if I have to be hornets | I'm a lesser talented :D !
anyway I only know how to use oekaki :V so if any helpers out there know how to use that then ... help ^_^
(btw, guess it'll mostly be bg *shrug*) should we just contact " The almighty helpers" when we need help O:

HI~I want some HELP~~^^
ACtually I am using a mouse, and the lines get to places that I don't want them to~(simply-I can't control the Mouse well~)
Are there any tips or what eva you guys can tell me~

Also, since I am new here, i am one of those who are LESS TALENTED~^^
I don't know any techniques as you guys know alot of them, I just simply draw the outline(with a lot of erasing going on as well), and hardly draw a good dark and bold out line for my pics. There are problems in coloring and I just color them by using the brush==I don't know how to make reflections or wteva that should be done ==

PLX HELP ME~

And finally, I don't know wteva tones of color you guy are talking about in replys~

And really finally, I don't know how to draw properly in computer~

PLX HELP ME~

Using a mouse takes alot of practice to get use to. You're doing pretty well anyways! =D

I don't usually use my wrist to move the mouse. Its all in the fingers, for me. Making outlines/ sketches are a great start, but for more precise lines, you'll have to zoom in a few times. For lineart, I use the watercolor tool (paint BBS) and the pen tool (Oekaki Shi-painter), 0-1 pixel each. You'll have to find the right opacity to make smooth lineart. For me, It's 245 on Paint BBS, and 60-ish on Shi-painter. ( Omg! My secrets? Or has everyone else found that out. =___=; ) Just go over the sketch a few times on a different layer, and you'll have nice lineart.
~Layers = a must for seperating lineart form coloring.~

Take your time. Be patient. That's what I've learned! I can just spend hours on the lineart, and it's be worth it!

Oh! And toying with the speed of your mouse would be a little helpful. ( On Windows: Control Panel --> Mouse --> Speed ) I get very picky about my mouse speed whenever I get a new mouse. n__n;;

THX~Hakkai~
and also~ do you do sketch before you draw? I mean...on that pic. Cuz I usually use it lighter like 60 STH on paint BBS(The lascaux sketch thing~) and I find it easier?! MAYBE~ yea~ I think your advise do me a lot of help~^^ THX~ I am going to try them ASAP~

P.S. i try the mouse control~you think its better for it to be slower or faster?

Sketching before you draw is a GREAT idea, very helpful.

My settings on the mouse speed is pretty fast. =/
