Slushie's Last Stand - dr_sloth_plushie's Journal
It's a journal! 'Nuff said! Comments please!
My first CG piccy!
I decided to try coloring on Photoshop for the first time. Well, I must say, I've done better than I thought I'd do but it's still a mess. Well, Here it is, the product of about 10 hours of work because I suck at color schemes and shading.

Colored on Photoshop 5(I know, it's obsolite). I don't know what happened to his hair but they're supposed to be gold streaks. I had a version with a background but I couldn't upload it to photobucket. Like I said, I suck at shading. Plus, I didn't ink so while I was cleaning it up, the outlines got really thin so I had to draw in some new ones. That's why the outlines are so rough and thick.

Comments are accepted. Nothing harsh, please.

muwhahahah I will be harsh! Kidding

for a first try, and using photoshop 5 *dies, so old.....* its pretty good. The only thing I can say is practice using the burn and dodge tools together so you get a range of mid, light, and dark tones. Also study people. I hope to draw one of our Egyptians soon, and I saved loads of pictures on my computer that are just egyptian women. Studying features helps the realism (if that is whta you want to go through) and anatomy. As I suggest to anyone learning how to draw on their own: artist anatomy books. I haven't got one yet (christmas list) but I plan on it. I am luck I went to an art school. So yeah, thats all I can say and I hope it helps.
