Yea, well basically I first drawing in pencil, then go over in a thicker pen, then colour shade etc etc. I'm a huge amateur at this, I've only been drawing for two months. But I plan on taking classes that pertain to this etc.

Awesome, keep at it. ^^ Gonna second the reference lines suggestion. I got ten times better once I learned figure construction.

Actually I might post some of my doodlings and maybe a full CG I'm working on at some point. My Calc notes are currently adorned with chibi Bake characters. XD

Uh, I've only got about 10 non-repost images at this point... I'll imagedump in a few days...

OK... don't give up.

Get yourself 6H and 2H pencils for base work.

Practice with 2B and 4B pencils at some point... you'll be glad you did.

Use Pilot 0.7 black ink pens, but stay away from any water/juice will your work

Please take classes.

[Miyuki-ism]

I have no idea, what those measurements are, but I'll take your advice, XD

6H is a grade of pencil led hardness.

Look at an ordinary pencil and you will see HB on it

Sometimes 2HB

Those are middle range gen-purpose... not good for art work.

So

You have pencils that range from 2H to 8H that give very light lines despite how hard you press.. and they are very hard tips so they can easily damage cheap paper....

2B to 8B pencils are very soft and they creat very DARK lines and you have to be VERY careful how hard you press as they can get pitch black like charcoal.

Pilot is a brand of pen... made in japan.

They have excelent ink flow and tips

0.7 is the width of the line you get

you also have 0.5 or 0.2 etc

They're different pencil hardnesses. Softer pencils draw darker, harder pencils draw lighter.

Personally I never worried too much about it. I draw with whatever I have on hand. It's usually worked for me. XD

Oh, I use Micron pens. Then again it's been a while since I inked something...

Ah, I see now, thanks.

I assume it'd be better to order these things from a specialized site. There aren't to many art shops 'round here.

they sell in stationery stores....

[Miyuki-ism]

Well I did see something like 2B-8B in a store close to me, but that was pretty much it in the lines of serious artwork equipment, but I can definitely check again.

Thinking about Nadeko next....

[Raiga]

Spoiler for GIF progress animation:

Sketch I doodled today during lecture -> crappy cell phone photo -> computer -> Photoshop -> figure construction (green) -> final lineart (in progress)

And for those who couldn't care less about what I drew today, have two chibis that I did not draw.



Hanekawa hasn't been getting much image love, at least not through my searchings... I need a chibi Hanekawa for my "Documents" icon on my desktop...

[Miyuki-ism]

^Ah I think I see what you mean by reference lines.

Anyways, I think Hanekawa will have a lot more art during/after her arc.

Same here. As a matter of fact, I started my Nadeko wallie today.

And here's waiting to see yours finished Raiga!

not to mention they both look ALIKE as they are sisters after all,
so its possible to accidentally swap the names of the siblings

btw, ironicly the preview for ep 11 by the end of ep 10,
the sisters both make a joke about switching ROLES on who's being Karen & who's being Tsukihi

Love these character designs.

[Daniel E.]

Dragun H.E.X. posted this one in the Haruhi image thread and I though people would be interested about it here as well, specially since it shows that both Koyomi and Senjougahara are already popular characters.

[Raiga]

I try to avoid reposts but no guarantees this time. ^^;;





For the comic... uhm... there's a lot of unfamiliar Kanji in there... at this rate I'll never learn anything but... so lazy... >>;;

It's something to do with Hachikuji saying what if Araragi-san was the main character in an eroge? And about how the characters have to be 18+ or something, and I guess what it amounts to is she's saying she couldn't be part of his harem 'cause she's just a grade schooler but Araragi's like, don't worry Hachikuji, in eroge it's possible for there to be an 18 year old grade schooler, to which Hachikuji is like, lolwut, and Araragi's like, well I wouldn't want a Hachikuji end anyway, and Hachikuji's like, what's up with that line, and Araragi's like, well I've already captured the most difficult character.

And yes, half that paragraph was guesswork.

In the meantime!

Spoiler for Progress:

My hand hurts like hell, I should learn to have a looser grip on my tablet stylus... -_-;;

EDIT:

Spoiler for Moar progress:

Those legs. Took me AGES. I really wish my SAI trail hadn't run out, drawing lines is so much easier with the SAI canvas controls... I miss SAI... ;-; but alas, after spending 500-odd bucks on textbooks these past few weeks, even a (relatively) cheap $50 software license feels kinda... *shudder*

So aside from the legs I made a bunch of adjustments to her torso and tweaked various other details.

Coloring tomorrow. Sleep now.

... damn it the shoes STILL don't look even. Note to self fix that tomorrow okay sleep time.

EDIT2:

Spoiler for If anyone cares...:

Color! I love coloring! That I am not all that great at it is besides the point.

Her skirt sucks but I'm terrible at drawing skirts... it's like this tube of cloth... that just sort of hangs there... and it's pleated too... *brainhurt*

[Miyuki-ism]

^ Oh cool, you have one of those things.(lol)

I find it hard to use those IMO.

It takes practice to get used to the hand-eye-coordination, but it's infinitely better than a mouse.

[Miyuki-ism]

I second that, I can't do any graphics for crap with a mouse.
