Well I couldn't resist to do some art ;D I LOVE drawing!! Ok, this should give you an idea how my character, Katsuki looks like although I'm sure some of you have already read the description on her profile... Drawing realistic people is not really my thing-that's why she looks more like a manga character.  By the way, I'm curious...did any of you imagine her like that? (most likely not...or yes?  ) |

Aw Caroline, don't say you envy me #^^# I'm sure you don't draw as badly as you say!! The hair...it's complicated, it nearly killed me, and at the end it didn't come out quite as I expected but anyway...I used Photoshop 0.7 to color the drawing. For the hair I used a tutorial I found on the internet. First you have to do the base color, then you pick a big brush and do a lighter color, then you pick the 3-pixel brush, and do every single strand of hair (you do it several times, changing the color) and the last step is to do the shadows and highights. (It's tiring! ) It's better to do it with a graphics tablet, though I don't have one. But trust me, it's suicide to do it with the mouse if you have a lot of hair!! |

No, seriously i can't draw! I'm no picasso...well i could be a polark who just throws paint at a wall and calls it "art". That's his name isn't it? |

Jackson Pollock The guy who painted with monkey's tails and suchlike. OMG, I can't beleive you have Photoshop!!! Isn't it the best graphics program ever? I'm stuck using ms paint, which is very basic. Is a graphics tablet one of those things where you draw on it and it appears on the computer? Those are wicked cool |

Yeah you've got a pen and a tactile screen and what you do on the tablet appears in the screen, it looks cool though I've never tried one. But for example, if you want to actually draw something, it's impossible to do it with the mouse, you have to do it on paper and then use the scanner (that's what I do anyway). But it isn't as good as the tablet, coz when you scan, the black pen in some places turns slightly blue or pink. Gee I thought Photoshop was basic I asked my fatheer to install it but first he wouldn't do it. He doesn't understand why do I take so much time coloring when i could use crayons... Oh, and what program did you use for your sig, scarlette. (I also wonder what program did Othala use to do hers) |

I just used microsoft paint. You have to do it pixel by pixel, and I used my own bases aswell, so it took forever. My scanner isn't even working, which is sad  |

Oh I used Microsoft Paint before but my pictures weren't good at all. OMG! Pixel by pixel, that's suicide! O.O You have courage... ^^
I had to buy a new scanner, becouse the one I had before was connected to my old computer, which doesn't have Photoshop.

Eugh, I know, pixel dolling is hell, I can never be bothered with it anymore, it hurts my eyes too Good old fashioned pencil and paper is way better, and simpler! |
