Illiad86 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) A bit? I found quite a lot of it,as you say, "douchey"...I'm not reading it as "constructive criticism"...I'm reading it as "You suck, you don't know how to draw." If you read any of my explanations... I've had this tablet for less than a month, only been using Photoshop for less than a month, and haven't picked up physical media in almost 10 years. Thanks.... Well, this is my style. I love anime characters. They can be quite expressive, it all depends on the artist. When I worked in physical media, I did comic book and anime style people as well. Just what I like to do. Not sure what I'm doing next. After messing around in PaintTool SAI more, I think I will get a license for it when the tax returns come in :) It feels more designed for a tablet. I drew the sparrow in it. Edited January 9, 2013 by Illiad86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliasTheory Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Everyone has to start somewhere. Your drawings look nice, Illiad. I've been using Photoshop for a while and mostly do everything that isn't the actual sketching for a friend of mine. I'd recommend you get PaintTool SAI. It is made for your specific purpose and the lines in my opinion come out much nicer than Photoshop. Photoshop to me is a photo-editor and your special effects program, but Photoshop for most part can do everything well, at least. So do the sketching and base colors in SAI (and maybe some cel-shading), then soft shade and do some lighting and background in Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhondidfool Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yes, I may have been a bit too much of a douchebag. Warend you, though. Don't take it at heart and go on drawing, I never said you suck. I said you need practice :)Someone like me is bound to appear if you post your first drawings online, though. take it as a "You can do much better with time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanumoreira Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well I liked the sparrow she drew. Thank you Illiad. I especially love the simple intricacy of the lines. Great job. :thumbsup: :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted54170User Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I see your drawing skill with the Bamboo is improving. As jhondidfool suggested your proportions and brush or pencil strokes are accurate too. And what a change. Illiad86. You switched from several forms and gave us decent pictures. Let your hair down. Go for it! Turn the feelings of the flames on to let out the inner you in your art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better for the lineart portion of the drawings. Little easier to use with the tablet as well. The colour wheel is awesome. Photoshop you had to click the swatch then modify it, here I can just slide my pen around the wheel and find the right colour :) Hopefully the tax returns come in before my trial is up haha. It's nice that Photoshop files work in SAI (dunno if .sai files work in Photoshop though :P), I can switch if needed. PS seems to be a bit better in the shading area, but I haven't done anything crazy in SAI yet, just the sparrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDNA Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I Like what you made Illiad the Dog was good the Sparrow too. The Anime style drawings are getting better if i compare them ( liked them too)Only the Chicken on page 1 made hungry so Brb for a massive food grab *Chicken Fricassee with rice today' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS seems to be a bit better in the shading area, but I haven't done anything crazy in SAI yet, just the sparrow. Also, SAI uses up less of your computer's resources than Photoshop. Granted, given the sheer amount of owners of heavy gaming rigs on this site, this should not be too much of an issue...but if you happen to have some gigantic painting open, SAI won't be too mean. It's also fairly simple to pick up, since Photoshop has a bunch of other options in it. But you'll learn all about those eventually. For Photoshop, I'd recommend you hit Ctrl+K (or Edit > Preferences > General) and let Photoshop hog all your memory. I've done a few things where I worked in things greater than 2000px x 2000px with 100+ layers, so it helps. Also, Photoshop has the more versatile brush options, and thanks to a bunch of kind online artists, seemingly infinite amounts of pre-made brushes. I see some made from real photograph equivalents and some from fractal flames. They are a pretty easy and fun way to spice up your work (just make sure to give credit!) For .sai working in Photoshop, I'm not very sure. I haven't tried looking up any plug-ins (since usually it is the other way around), so you'll have to check and see.Also go on deviantART and check out the incredible amount of tutorials. They'll help a lot. I do less stuff for my roommate now (since schoolwork always keeps me busy), so he's somewhat in the same situation as you. (He also has a Wacom Bamboo.) Lots of SAI drawings on his side, and I get to laugh at him as he struggles with female anatomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanumoreira Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If you have the time, could I make one more request? If it isn't too much trouble, could you make me something like...no, wait, I'll throw caution to the wind on this one. Surprise me! :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Illiad if I may recommend, if you haven't already, join DeviantArt.Nice way for your art to get views, and you can get rewards and do commissions for points or even money if you want, and you get to meet nice people as well. Bad ones too, but good ones are worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
