How to become an artist

Postby Ravetta » Fri Aug 30, 2013 8:46 am

Lection 1: Practise!

Trying to learn a new shading style (paint away shading on a layer set to multiply-mode, purple as base color)
I think it looks much better than my old stuff, but it still needs a bit more contrast?
I will try to get more highlights on a seperate layer next time.
Tips are highly apprenticed, style-wise (I know I should finally use references for anatomy xD)

I decided to draw all of my main characters, started with A.
So here is Allen, the bordercollie-mix c:
You can tell I wasn't in the mood for a bg, he's floating there xD

This actually looks fantastic! The lines could definitely be a bit darker to contrast with the fur, and the head is a bit small in proportion to the body, but your anatomy is otherwise excellent, and I love the way you did the background! A wonderful job :)

Thanks so much :D
The lines looked ok without the shading, but now they really are to thin, I'll do them thicker next time then c;

I just noticed I posted this in intermediate, I intended to post it in sketches & experiments, I hope it's still ok for it to be here :P
