CALLING DIGITAL ARTISTS~

pegasasu • 23 November 2011 at 3:12 PM

Hiya!

Okay, so I'm learning how to color and stuff. Like, color lineart. Digitally. I have the basic jists of it, but I'm curious on how you amazing artists do such beautiful work. Like this~

I have no idea who did this (But I'm searching!). But it's amazing ❤️

This is what I can do:

Which is not much T_T That's unfinshed, but I wanted to show you that I'm not that advanced^^

Any good tutorials you can refer?

I have a lot of programs, including Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements 8, and anything else in the Adobe Creative Suite 5

Thanks!

@Pegasasu
Layers! And lots of 'em!! 😃

@pegasasu
Lots of layers.
Lots of brushes.
Lots of practice.
(and sketching the idea and testing colors)
And, of course, different effects help, too. 😸

Digital art is all about utilizing what you've got. Just experiment, and you'll find what makes your art really pop~

For me I use a Wacom Bamboo Tablet.
Paint tool SAI.
A lot of layers.
And I just use practice.

I only have two recent artwork here for example:

@pipkitten @xxcrayolademonxx @bleach / @sky I'm trying to figure out how to... what's that thing called... *Google search* AIRBRUSH! That's it. For now.

Everyone's listed stuff already. (:
That I thought of. xD

@glados

How do you get images like this:

In your art? The fur looks so soft, I mean effects like that~

glados • 23 November 2011 at 4:12 PM

@pegasasu
Awh, thank you so much! ❤️33
I used a layer for the background fur color.
Then another top layer for the more detailed fur lines.
And then blurred them. 😋

@glados

Really? I'll try that, thanks! 😃

glados • 23 November 2011 at 4:20 PM

@pegasasu

pegasasu • 23 November 2011 at 4:22 PM

@pegasasu
You might want to just google various tutorials on specific aspects you want to improve. You have photoshop?
I once googled how to draw hair using photoshop and it came up with a really good tutorial:
http://www.elfwood.com/farp/theart/gweyenihair/gweyenihair.html

That isn't the one I originally found, but it's still really good. Hope that helps 😊

Edit: This one's also really good: http://gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/how_to_draw_human_hair_2.php
