Chorrol.com _ Fan Art _ Crappy old drawing

Posted by: Ambberfox Apr 27 2005, 04:41 PM

Some lousy drawing I did of a dark-elf-dude several months ago. It's nothing more than a very simple sketch done in painterClassic and openCanvas - I love those programs! biggrin.gif I already thought about doing a digital painting in Photoshop with this sketch as a reference but school is currently too time-consuming...

its not crappy. its a good sketch. how long did it take?

Posted by: Ambberfox Apr 29 2005, 01:58 PM

including the coloring probably around 10 to 15 minutes...

[quote=Ambberfox]including the coloring probably around 10 to 15 minutes...[/quote]only that long then its pretty damn good. it would take me forever to do that with the coloring


i wonder what it would be like if you spent more time on it?

:shocked:

Thats very nice. If thats 'crappy' i'd love to see what you call 'good'. biggrin.gif

I like the Dunmer mohawk. One of my favorite Dunmer hairstyles. :goodjob:

I like the proportions in regards to the upper- face (eyes, eyebrwos, that whole horizontal line looks right) and the shoulders.

thanks a lot! biggrin.gif

I'm using version 7.0, too. I don't know what Photoshop CS2 is like because always buying a new version is simply too expensive kvright.gif

some advices if you want to start digital painting on the computer:

- Buy a pen tablet! It doesn't need too be the most expensive type of tablet at first (the one I have now is about medium-priced: Graphire3)
Don't try to paint things with the mouse, that's much too difficult

- read through a lot of tutorials for digital painting, there are some pretty good sites out there which offer a lot of help

- don't only focus on working on the computer and keep on practicing drawing with pencils.

- look at what other people do

- and don't give up! biggrin.gif

I can not really say much about how I actually color things because finding your own style is a very important part of the process of practicing wink.gif

Damn thats nice.. :goodjob: I'll see if I have any money left after building my Oblivion Computer around September - Maybe I'll buy a pencil tablet, how much would u say a avarage one costs? kvleft.gif

Posted by: Ambberfox Apr 30 2005, 09:56 PM

I'd say around 100 euro/$ - eller omtrent 815 norske kroner, kanskje litt mer, er ikke helt sikkert wink.gif just noticed you're from norway, that's pretty cool because I'm half norwegian, too! Do you happen to know Fredrikstad or Hankø? That's where we usually spend our summer vacation

Posted by: Fuzzy Knight May 1 2005, 08:49 AM

Yeah I know of those cities.. wink.gif But I'm not sure where to look thought, but I guess I can find some in computer shops if not just ship 'em in from England or something... tongue.gif
