i did an ugly pic :P

not quite satisfied with how it turned out.. first time actually drawing something by hand and colouring it on the comp :shock:

 

You should shade the picture to add more depth

 

i know i should, i just dont know how to still new at this x.x

using photoshop 7.. how can i draw the places i want to shade accurately?

 

i love the uni's single tooth

 

thanks. theyre my pets on my main

i meant to draw the lenny knocking on the baby pteri, but it just looks like she's shaking her fist :?

 

Was that done in paint? If so, that's a pretty nice drawing.

 

nope, it was hand-drawn.

pretty bad for a hand-drawn one eh?
but i think i messed it up when i came to the colouring...

 

use the eyedropper and take it straight from the original

 

thats what i did, took it from the original.

i messed up because i didnt put the shading on the pets, and their shadows on the ground... because i didnt know how to x.x

 

if you cut the pets out and separate them from the background, you can double click the layer and go to drop shadow and go from there.

for shading, you can use the burn tool on a low number like 4% to acheive this: pick a side where the sun is coming from, and then shade what wouldnt get light from it

 

there.. i think its better 8)
..might have used TOO much of the burn tool though.

thanks a lot, that really helped! +rep

 

It looks monumentally better - you can really see the difference.

 

That looks a lot better. I'm no expert at shading graphics or anything, but what helps me shade on paper is focusing one where the light is coming from and how it would affect the picture. I think you do an okay job at it though.

 

Thats wicked good, I remember my drawing of a Faerie Krawk, I didn't colour it in but I should have, yours is amazing

 

is it really? thanks!!

i showed it to another friend a while ago, he said it looked awful
