Since my parents got me an intuos3 for christmas, I've spent the entire day playing with it... (On a texture for TVWP)

WHen I got sick of that texture, I went on to try coloring... and this is the result.



Not bad for my first day with this wonderful gem, eh?

[Taristin]

Afraid to comment?

Meh... I know it's not anything near PeachE or Turnsky's level (since they could get away with drawing fur and people wouldn't hex it) but I would really like feedback...

Please?

[Singh]

err....looks colorfully!

What? what else were you expecting

Overall, i'd say good work with the coloring. Not enough shading IMO, but then it looks like its supposed be a 'bright' scene with light sources from all around and minimal shadows of that sort.

[Taristin]

Hows this for a better shaded version? It looks like there's more muscle definistion now...

[Singh]

looks like you got the shading right on that one.

But still...the position of that arm bugs me. Did he dislocate his shoulder or something? Just looks wierd O_O (as if it wasn't wierd enough as it is)

[Taristin]

If I drew a short wall behind him, and made it looks like he was lifting himself up ont it, would that help?

[Singh]

nope. Still wouldn't explain how such a creature is capable of standing with a sharp claw for a heel

[Taristin]

You don't stand on the heel. You stand on the forward digits.

[Singh]

errr.......ook then.

Ill stop spamming on your post then

[Taristin]

Oh, you mean a tablet?! I have a Wacom too. Small one, came with a pen and a wireless mouse. Never used it... It´s still waiting for me to gather some inspiration to do anything with it.

[Taristin]

Wacom is a brand name of Tablets.

Mine is a 4x5, and it's awesome.

[Taristin]

Bah! Tell me about the coloring! Tell me his ass looks sunburned (or spanked too much ) or something!!!

Raa, in Photoshop, Layers are your friend, try fiddling with a layer set to either multiply or overlay, don't tweak the opacity of the brush..  just the layer, your get more consitency of your shading that way.

[Taristin]

I have used layers... THat pic I posted was about 6 layers...  It was my first day with it. I think I did damned good

And your pad is too big

[FireCrack]

Shift shading towards blue a bit mabye


Give more shading detail on head

[Taristin]

Well, your supposed to use opposite colours for shading organic things... or so all my art teachers say.. so the green has red, and the orange has blue.

I may give it another go later on, I s'pose...
