theres recreate, i drew it at school after he asked but when i come back he deleted the post :<

anyway, sorry Vespier Leo, it take me a while to draw humans :<

i can get it done faster if you want it the same, but in anthro form. (dog, perhaps?)

I am a man well versed in waiting Zander. I can wait. Thank you for your consideration though!

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:35 pm

Okay x3

Well, Zander, if you want to draw a dog, you can always re-draw me. ;3

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:42 pm

You know what's more fun to draw than dogs?

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:55 pm

Is it just me or does it look like this is scaled down a bit vertically? O_o It looks somewhat odd.

Deleted what post? O_o I didn't delete anything. It's still there.
As for the drawing, thanks xD Though the anatomy of the feet is incorrect O_o(not fully anthro) was that intentional or a mistake(of memory or drawing) One suggestion of improving it would be to smooth out the nose and muzzle a bit. (more of in general) Looks a bit too rectangular to me. Otherwise it's pretty good. I like it.

(and you actually got the tail wrong. xD The tip is a lighter grey.

I'm just trying to give a bit of feedback! D;

Shyanne · Post by **Shyanne** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:35 am

Just attempting a different style. I really need to find a way to get better outlines..My scanner is a piece of junk..oh well..Let me know if you like this new style or not..

Considering its my first time drawing Digitigrade Legs, at school, with no reference. i'd say it was pretty good. >:|

Yes? I didn't mean to imply otherwise at all. O_o Where did you get that from. Its that you said you were horrible before.

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 3:48 pm

Well, (me and) you said yourself i wasn't the best. So why did you expect perfection from me? >_>

I didn't mean to imply that i would expect perfection from you, I rather meant to imply the contrary. O_o

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:11 pm

Well it just seemed like you were implying it when you corrected every detail of it :|

this is what i understood in my simple thinking:

Hi im not perfect.

i know your not perfect can you draw something?

Sure.
Heres my nonperfect piece of art!

Why isn't it perfect?

because i already said it wasn't perfect.

x3

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:58 pm

Also, heres your request Vespier :<

I didn't know what color eyes, so i improvised. :>

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 7:57 pm

I Thank you So Very Much Zander!

I Really Do Like it!

My eyes are Dicromic. They are green with a thin band of copper around the edge of the eiris...

Shyanne · Post by **Shyanne** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 8:55 pm

hey does anyone want to give me suggestions/hints on how i can make my lineart crisper/cleaner? i downloaded inkscape but i have no idea how to use it or what i should do with it..does raising the dpi on my scanner make my lines clearer?

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 9:01 pm

I would like to know the same thing Shyanne.. I can't seem to make it work either.

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 9:06 pm

higher resolution - more detail. Keep in mind that more dpi means more detail, so if you have a smudge then you will be able to see it :>

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 9:24 pm

Thank you again Zander. And Good Drawings Shyanne!

The drawing of Vespier is the exact thing that comes out of my scanner. (minus coloring. x3)

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:30 pm

I find the need to thank you again for that Zander.

Do you scan pencil or ink lines? Pencil lines, unless they're very refined, will always be a little rough, but you can still darken them. If you do that, it sort of ends up looking like a jittery pen, and I personally think it's a neat effect that livens up a drawing. Plus I always like my drawings better when I don't ink them

I've never used Inkscape, but if you can find a window or module that will let you change the brightness and contrast, that can be helpful in making nicer looking lineart. Fiddle with those levels, but you'll want to bring up both the brightness (to bring the paper closer to pure white) and contrast (which will help separate the line's value from the paper and bring it closer to black).

Also, desaturate the lineart, because pencils and pens have a lot of complex colors which become way more apparent on a screen, and simplifying that to black and white does worlds to make it look cleaner.

man if that's true then my scanner totally sucks..what do you outline in? what kind of ink? See when i scan in black and white there are a bunch of marks and spots everywhere! so i scan in greyscale and then i have to run it through some filters.. and still even then my lineart is uneven..tho i think my pen is dying on me..

I outline in ink, using a micron pen..well anyway I'm not gonna post this next picture here..because well it's a babyfur one. so don't enter if babyfurs/diapers freak you out. http://ranmafan1.deviantart.com/art/a-r ... -197847042

(hardly counts as art again, but oh well >_>)
I partially vectorized a drawing i found on nick'sDA that i happened to like.

I originally intended to entirely recreate it, and make a wallpaper from it.(because it's cute :3) But dunno. maybe later. :V

i wish my lineart looked like that..

ReCreate · Post by **ReCreate** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:55 am

It's pretty much just mindless tracing, then exporting a medium-res bitmap and using inkscape's "trace bitmap" feature to revectorize it, cheaply simulating brush dynamics. :V

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 7:09 am

Wow! o.o I think Nicky should try that art style again. It is so cute! x3

Aww, More cute Art!

good job on the tracing ReCreate.
