A secret, layers. When you switch out tools your previous marks become unerasable. I'd color Link's face, switch out from colored pencils to pencils to create the 'layer', go back to colored...
pencils and then color his hair. I'd color outside the lines, apply the shades, then erase all the color outside the lines without worrying about erasing anything else. Since the hair...
was on it's own 'layer'. I thinks that's the clearest explanation I can provide >_< I figured it out as I was playing around on the thing. Other than that it's just getting familiar with the tools!
I'm using that technique as well. Compared to "real" digital drawing it requires way more planning though, because you can't go back. btw you can also go into options to pin the colors without
And thank you Ron :D Once I figured that out everything became a breeze and I had a ton of fun :D I had to share it. I think it'll make everyone's experince easier :) :) & no offense taken MagiMas xD
I kinda wanna get a nice print and make it poster xD & I know MagiMas, I'm so used to Photoshop. Once you switch out tools/pin colors there's no going back D: I wish there was an undo button too :T
Dude, not at all! I'm really flattered :D Thanks Ahzafera! :3 I might make it a wallpaper for my laptop, and get it printed to a poster size tomorrow :)
:D :D That makes me so happy to know I've inspired someone with a picture x) I've never heard of paint.NET though. Even just sketching on paper while listening to music makes me feel at such ease.
paint.net is my preferred image editing software. I make videogames so I got it to make 2D images and textures for the games. I also used it to make transparent images for my games.
Its really great for drawing and its free! I'm not good at drawing freehand on pc though, I use the line/curve tool mostly when I start the outline. I used to draw in pencil a lot. I have tons of...
sketch books filled with drawings of pokemon and videogame characters and stuff. I would look in my videogame instruction manuals for pictures to draw :D
It's pretty impressive that you make games, that must mean you also know the programming language :o I've been a Photoshop user since 2006 and haven't looked back x) Unless you have a tablet...
drawing on the computer freehand is really hard. I used to do the same thing as a kid, especially with Pokemon. Draw them all through the manuals xD But sketching on paper > computer drawing. Always.
