WOW i have been really productive today.. @_@
i am so proud of this because it was done entirely on the computer and entirely by mouse *o* and that is some feat considering how i cannot draw anything on the computer for my life.. do any of you remember the first thing i drew(or tried to draw) on the computer? no? good.. >.> its in my gallery somewhere if you really want to look... >_>;
i did the line art [link] some time ago over break and i was really happy with it, so i decided to press my luck and try to color it... and this is what happened.. ._.; i started coloring a few days after i drew it, and i finished it up today...
im sorry about the yukata, i looked up a few pictures for reference but still, there was no way i was about to try and draw that other kind of sleeve, and i have a feeling i kinda messed up on this sleeve too, as simple as it is.. so yea... T.T
and up until this point i still have no clue where the light source is... <.<; >.>; i think its somewhere in her top left but... im not so sure about that... ~_~;
and that thing hovering over her hand is a feather not a leaf >.< i know the color i gave it isnt helping you figure that out very much, i might change it later, but i colored the feather last and i just wanted to get it done because i didnt want to lose interest in it.. and i guess i'll add a background sometime as well..
line art: MS Paint (i think it likes me now.. @_@;; )
color: openCanvas 1 (it doesnt have dodge/burn T_T)
total time: maybe 6-10 hours i guess
oh yea, does anyone still use oc1? can someone please tell me how to make decent eyes in oc1 because i was having a little trouble with that...
but hey, any tips? like, on lighting? i wanna get better at this oekaki style thing.. o_o;
i think you did a good job with this.
