Smili - A species by Spotty - Posting open -

[Spotty]

Um, not long at all. It was a doodle I made in school, then I traced with my tablet, fixed it up a little and lined it. It's a simple lineart really. As for time, I really don't know. Probably less than an hour in total. Goes fast to come up with designs and fill as well, hence the many smilis for adoption.

lol i was asking becuase i felt bored and i wanted to at least talk to someone so i never had a tablet before but i am a good artist many have said it on cs but you can trace it?

[Spotty]

Well, yeah. I usually just put a drawing on the tablet and trace it. It's not perfect, but it's a good way to make pretty doodles into pretty art^^. It's a tiny tablet, so the tracings come our as really crude sketches, but it's a good start and easy to clean up.

oh thats how people do it do you know where i could get one in the Us if you even live in the us that is lol.

[Spotty]

No, I live in sweden. But I think most computer stores have tablets^^.
I think most people scan their hand drawn art and then clean it up, optionally takes a photo off it. Tracing with a tablet isn't really recomended if you want it to be like the original. Like I said, it's pretty crude. This is how my tracing looked before I cleaned it up:

[Vanilla Twilight.]

yesh it would thanks for the advice spotty thats hellpful when my b-day comes around ^^ oh, are you going to create ?more similes ?

[Spotty]

Yeah, your right! I love that face. The original is so much better, and I can never hope to catch such a expression again. *sigh*
I should make a avatar or something out of it. But I don't know what I'd use it for if I did. Heh.

I will probably make more smilis yes. It's a good way killing time.

Whoa....You are a great artist! I can't draw like that. I only handraw stuff because I suck at using computer programs. My handrawings are horrible. DX I'm only 12 and almost everyone I know can draw better than me. Keep up the great work!
