The Artist Army

These are all beautiful, guys! =3



This is probably my favorite adoptable I've ever made. Made it for CW's summer event, all zoo based. =3 Modified from the original lineart:

Just wanted to show it to you, because I'm so proud of it... And currently, a little blind to it's faults. Critique for future reference?

OMG! So cute!!!!!! great job!!!!



ok do you think randomosity/ creativity like this is good or weird?

It's adorable! o3o
It's hard to make pixel art, I'm jealous. One thing, the stripes look a little straight. That's probably mostly because of the pixels and the small size, but in the future, don't be afraid to make the lines more wobbly. c:

I think it's creative.
Because I can't ever draw anything fun and random. <|3
But seriously, it's good to be random like that~ Would you like critiques on the artwork, or no?

I don't really need critiques on that cause I wasn't trying to make it good, only random. XD and thank you!

ella556 // i personally believe that creativity is key to art ;
your drawing is very unique and cute, i'd just say work on making the lines less wobbly c:

neelix // oh, your pixel tiger is adorable ! i don't really see much fault,
except maybe what :: summer :: said about the stripes being a bit too straight ^^;

[emberonis]

Thank you all for the comments on the tiger. =3 I'll remember that. Now that I look at it, the stripes really are too strait.

hi^^

someone showed me this army, so i'd like to join ^^

i have some tips if they will help or make a difference C:

this is for digital art on oekaki

to get a good sketch:
my way:

draw it on paper first, just the full idea of lines, no color or shade. Tape or hold your drawing to the coputer screen, where the page is on the oekaki drawing system. use the pencil or pen tool on size 2 with color red, and trace. it is harder the first time, but gets better later as you get used to it. it is much easier to see if the paper drawing is on freezer paper, wax paper, or cookie sheet paper.

for lines:

when you are done with lines after your sketch and stuff, use a size one pencil or pen. You can duplicate the layers, then blur the top lines, and lower the opacity to its not so blurry. if its not dark enough to you, or not thick enough, you can do the same again as many times as you'd like. sometimes duplicating the one layer, then moving one of the duplicates makes it thick too, and can be more reliable.

for color:

when you color in make a layer under the lines (of course XD) and title it color. i usually use a light red color so i dont go out of the lines. once you are sure it has been colored in all the way, duplicate the lines layer and merge one of those layers into color, then click lock alpha and color it all the color you used to color it in (so many colors!)
keep lock alpha and color in how you wanted it designed C:

shading:
my way:
duplicate the color layer, click lockalpha on, and name that layer shade. color it in a very, very dark blue or violet color. since, in real life shade is blue, not black. lower the shade layer opacity to about 50% (what i do) or however you want C:
click lockalpha off and use the soft erasure tool. make the tool's opacity to where you are most comfortable (im usually at 11%)use the erasure took to place out where the light hits, to take away the dark shading. this really comes in handy with clothing and sometimes hair.

light:
my way:
use the soft spray tool on the color white, to what ever opacity you are most comfortable (i use 5%) and mark the lighter places where the shade was erased, dont go overboard though


i may do a pic to go along with this if it would help C:
