Wait, you do draw this stuff on the computer, right Visi? How do you get the lines so straight??
|
A Wacom tablet, and loads of practice. For straighter lines, it comes down to a controlled stroke. Just one smooth motion should do it, though you have to get used to doing that on a Wacom tablet, which does take time. It's also very helpful to have control over the size of the canvas. ctrl+ and ctrl- will zoom in and out about 12%. For more detailed stuff, like the thickened lines around the eyes, I usually go in at 2-300%, but when I want a more dominant line that doesn't get bumpy, I go out to 50% and get it down in one stroke.
That make sense to anyone? |
That makes huge elephantloads of sense. I've never used a wacom tablet, so I'm not sure how the sensitivity compares to my hp tablet pc.
Smooth lines, solid strokes. And zooming out for the longer lines. Got it! I was finding a ruler just didn't work. And drawing lines really slowly made them look too dark and wiggly. 200-300% zoom?? Okay, I think I know what'll help me determine the trick here. What were the dimensions of the original image? I'm willing to bet it was a lot bigger than the one you posted on here. |
Oh yeah, photobucket reduces considerably. That one was on my work computer, and I always keep them at desktop size. So I believe the resolution was 1280x1024.

Katiuska- I really like that coloring... It kind of looks like... I dunno. But it looks cool. ^^
Fisi- Very awesome! I quite like the horned helmet. Zephie- Lookin' good. That guy on the right on the first picture (the non-link one), I like his hair. Why do I get inspiration when I have other art projects due. Regardless, I'm really excited how it's turning out: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/9682/samuzr9.jpg Yeah... it's going to take pretty much forever but... I like it. I've been playing too much Metroid lately. |
That's a right spiffy Samus torso you got there.

Armor is... hard to do. And I'm a little concerned about drawing Ridley in there... I don't know if I can draw a dragon/pterodactyl/space pirate very well. |
