Those are pretty cool; I must say. =D Realistic-style drawings are always intriguing to me, especially with those type of shading methods; it's always good to see when a good job is done with that. =)

The beer one is certainly... different, I have to say. Not something one would initially expect, but it works. =) The font is pretty cool too; I'd likely never be able to actually manage that. =P(Though, I said that about close up faces too, and I'm actually doing rather well with those recently. ^^')

The wolf, and the 3D model of Stitch is pretty cool, as well. The wolf looks very realistic, which is a nice feat. =)

The last post's link doesn't work currently, though.

[KnightsFan]

It does if you copy/paste the entire thing.

But yeah, that's some cool stuff. The model looks fairly low-poly, too, which is great. My concept work is basically stick figures and blueprints for buildings

[MsRowdyRedhead]

Did you guys see Jims stuff on the previous page??

Link fixed, BTW

[Blade]

Yes; I responded to it in the first two paragraphs of the last post. =P

The game seems interesting. I'm not gonna have a chance to play it anytime soon at all(Due to no iDevice), but it certain has an interesting feel to it, and the art style seems to fit it. =)

[Blade]

Sweet; my theory worked. I might not be able to export stuff I draw in Swapnote to images; but I can export game notes. =P

It's not the best, since it can't handle shading as well as Swapnote can; but, I did manage to draw something either way.

Here's the image.

I don't know why it decides to double up the file marker ending thing, though. =/

Here's just a quick little sketch of Misu that I did last night. Not perfect by any means, but for something that only took ten minutes, I think it's pretty good. Aside from the arms, and the fact that I didn't fully erase the guidelines.

[Blade]

Not bad for being a quick sketch. There could be a could improvements, mostly involving the arms, as you said. =p Though, what's with the eye? I'll admit I'm not good at eyes either, and they usually look better with colour, but I'm still kinda confused about that left(To her) eye.

[The Truth]

I was too lazy to use a ruler to make sure the eyes were the same size.
If I'd used a ruler for the guidelines, the eyes would be the same shape and size.

[Blade]

Actually, I mean the pupil parts or so. Not the actual eye shape. =P

[The Truth]

Oh. No, that's actually a valid way of drawing the pupils. I've been trying out multiple eye styles, and I think these are the ones that fit Misu best. Some of the other characters will probably have different pupil styles.

[Blade]

Oh, wait; is it the 'dual light source with shading' technique? If so, then that does make perfect sense; but it'd make more sense in colour. =P

That seems pretty cool; though.

Just out of curiosity, what did people think of my test drawing? I can't really do much shading wise on Game Notes, but at least I can save that, so it'd tide me over until I get a proper dedicated drawing app on the 3DS.

[Wantija$$$]

^ If your going to try to shade on the 3DS (on swapnote/game notes) I'd recommend cross-hatching (1/4 hatching to be specific) on basic objects such as a cube, sphere, pyramid (be sure how to draw 3D objects and use a light source!)

As for a drawing app on the 3DS, I'm assuming you know about Colours 3D. It's $6-7 but it's a good intro to digital art without having to buy a $150 tablet for your computer, plus it's getting a free update in April/May (iirc).

To get the arm, look at the branches on a tree...  (the bent y thing) for the underarm.. the shoulder should follow easily then

The skirt & feet are way cool.

[The Truth]

Good tip for arms, thanks!

The feet were a total (but happy) accident. They looked kinda terrible, and I started messing with them, ended up drawing socks, and finally ended up with them the way they are now.

Thanks.

I'm going to draw Kira next...her hair should be an interesting challenge.


Also, today I figured out how to draw a pizza. (I was trying to draw a cat, but I'm happy with a pizza too...)
I also figured out a good way to do close-ups of hands, but I'm saving that for the comic.

[Blade]

Wantija: Hmm, I'll have to look at that when I have a chance. I know about Colors; I just don't have any spare funds on my account just yet; it's on my 'to-get' list, though, for sure. =P

Swapnote actually supports shading a little easier; it seems anti-aliased in a way, so the greyer segments act as partial shading.

Also, err, I'm kinda still learning how to draw. ^^' Consider that was over the past couple weeks, though, and in my spare time, I'm fairly impressed. =)

Truth: Nice; I should try pizza next. =P

[The Truth]

I'll upload a sketch of Kira soon.

But I just CANNOT do a good sketch of Emma. I can't do her face right...

[Blade]

Is her face too crazy-looking, or what? =P

[The Truth]

Next up...Ms. Kira. C. Kara.
