No you don't! :lol:

You can do eet! -cheers on-

Well, it was worth a shot. ;P

I'm gonna go look up drawings on deviantArt at work today when I have time. Strong jawlines, here I come! o wo

Weee~
-ignores pants- :talk2hand:

Haha, poor pants! :lol:

I hate trying to shade large areas. ; ~; Especially when I restrict to not using blur. = 3=

Why not use blur? :O I usually have my blur set to either %70 or %20 depending on the area I'm coloring.

So I can get some experience in not relying on it and working with different styles. :yes:

Ah. :yes: I should try that too once I get a tablet.

Can I make a suggestion on shading? Blur tends to.. well making things fuzzy and can actually lose depth if you.. really go at it.

I'm not sure what program you use, (I use Photoshop) but, you can either try to custom make your brushes, like one of mine is set on Flow 90% and on Airbrush which what you would see in my sig.

Also playing with opacity helps, and another way of blending is using a medium color. So let's say you got a bright orange and a dark orange, obviously there will be a clash of contrast.

Example

So you eye-drop the middle color of the two. The brush I was using was on 100% hardness, and it's not a great example. But I hope it helps?

Ah, this does help! :D I use Sai, but you can make custom brushes there; so this is great. Thanks! :eager:

Moar aveh art.

Haha, yeah, the complex ones give me a headache...and hand cramps. :XD

A chibi headshot done today. \ o /

You're pretty good Iku :) Keep it up!

Thanks Ama. :3

you make me want to go paint when i get home. start a new project instead of working only on the one i'm doing now.

It's good to be inspired! \ o /
What do you want to paint?

You're a drawing machine! xD I love love love the headshot! :D Your chibis are so cute~~ ><

Haha, I wish. I go through little droughts of no drawing, sadly. Oh! That reminds me that I wanted to try this drawing challenge!
And thank you! > w<
Chibis are a bit difficult for me.

Before this week, I hadn't drawn for... 3 months, and before that was.... 2 years? Or something like that. @_@;; I love that my tablet is working again though. So happy :)

Really? Darn, they are for me too. Your chibis look like chibis though. xD Mine... don't...

Daang. I've gone through spells like that too. I figure as long as I bounce back. I've put forth more effort to draw though, then I did before. And I get inspired more than I did before as well. Even if I don't feel like drawing, I at least attempt to draw something.

Thanks. > w< It's crazy how many styles of chibis there are out there. There's more styles that I'd love to get a hang of.
