Don't worry, I'm not going to do that. Any shouting will be done in a natural way to only make me look weird and not awkward.

Yeah... I was actually having a hard time with that as well. And I should try that, thanks for the tip!

I figured I needed to draw my Persona more so this what happens!

I think you should color that one, Nick.

NickCole · Post by **NickCole** » Sun Oct 16, 2011 2:35 pm

I didn't save the .sai file for it. ; AAAAAAA;
Didn't think it was worth colouring.

AND SOUJI, OUR SIGNATURE JUST MADE THE PAGE MORE COLOURFUL.

Ooh, that's pretty good~

@theblackcateyes: Was that based from the photo of yourself? xD It's pretty good, other than what Brent pointed out.

And here's the coloured version of the doodle I made earlier:

Had to colour over the outline. I: But I guess it's fine. Can't Soft shade to save my life. I just like the hair though.

What program did you use to color that O_o (if it is a program).

NickCole · Post by **NickCole** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 7:23 pm

Paint Tool SAI. It's a rather nifty program to use.

And nice background. o Ao

Tattorack · Post by **Tattorack** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 7:42 pm

Ugh... but I probably can't get the same good look using a mouse...
I need a Cintiq *sob*

NickCole · Post by **NickCole** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 8:56 pm

Hmm...the program seems to be only made for people who has tablets. I use a Bamboo tablet myself and aren't Cintiq's rather expensive?

yes I want to make this clear to everyone.

SAI IS REALLY COOL BUT IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING WITHOUT A TABLET.

The low end Cintiqs are pretty much a thousand dollars, so yeah, they're rather expensive.

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:17 pm

I don't really see why I would want a cintiq when I can get a bamboo or something (being that I'm only drawing and not doing professional concept art or anything of the sort).

Because those things are amazing? But yes, I agree - I'm quite happy with my little Bamboo, you don't really need anything more.

Had I $3000 to blow, though...

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:04 pm

If I had 3k to blow, I would buy a bamboo and open a savings account.

Tattorack · Post by **Tattorack** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 4:38 pm

Wait!!!!! things can be cheaper than Cintiq!?!
Ok, I need to take a better look at the internet.
(btw: how accurate are Bamboos?)

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 4:40 pm

Very.

Bamboos don't have a screen, like so.
Whereas the screen is pretty much the main selling point of Cintiqs, like so.

NickCole · Post by **NickCole** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 6:18 pm

It just takes time to draw without looking at the pen for Bamboo tablets (Or any tablets with pen).
It took me roughly 3 months for me though but it was all worth it. Just needed to use it everyday or at least often.

Hey guys. I want to make a painting, and I was wondering, what tools do artists use to make accurate curves?

Your avatar name doesn't stop befitting you!

Btw:

Its the Ambraali soldier I'm putting in a poster along with all my other Humanoid aliens.
this guy is the only realy finished character, and the rest of the poster isn't exactly PG, thats
why there's just him for here now.

well for one, Grape's looking a little less tomboyish than usual. but that's a style choice.

NickCole · Post by **NickCole** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 11:44 pm

@Irony: That's a very interesting style you have there~ o uo

And here are some more soft shading practice;

I don't really know how the fur details go so I was just guessing all over the place.

Their cerebellum, really. knowing how to handle the brush is good, too.

"Grape looks really muscular in this art."

Don't you mean tomcattish?

(I think it's cute that way, personally.)

You can get a slightly dated refurbished TabletPC computer pretty cheap. I had the (2005)ThinkPad X41 Tablet for only 200USD. It has a wacom digitizer and the screen was 12" 1024x768. (and precision of the digitizer was quite dandy too, many many times more precise than the visible pixels on screen)

I think it's a good idea if you can't afford a cintiq and don't like bamboo tablets. I believe rick uses a newer model for the digital art in the comics.

Anyways. some more art from one of my favorite artists!

he drew a slight variation of my fursona (which i totally love btw
