This is my first (and somehow, apparently the best) usage of the pen tool in Photoshop... took quite a lot of meddling around with. (I did it off and on over a few weeks - I certainly learned a lot from this picture!) It's been a WIP forever, because I just got too lazy.

Well actually it's because I suck at shading, and I had no idea how to properly shade a picture like that. Ehehe...

So I'd like to see how you guys shade this picture. ^-^;; That is if it's worth your time... (Feel free to edit the picture, I'm aware I made a little too many clothes creases, and the face, once you try to shade it, is DEFINITELY screwed up. The left side cheek are specifically. Trust me!)

Oh, by the way, there's supposed to be a wall in the bg. Or something he's got his arm on.

This is the uncoloured picture...

This is it with just flat colours.

Um... have fun if you try it, and C+C is great. Thanks.

::Is impressed::
squonjon, very nice style you have there. Works perfectly with the style of the underlying drawing.

kvant · 2003-11-28, 17:55

Indeed very good job....

Damn i need to practice with my crayons more to get to that result

Babak · 2003-11-28, 19:55

Really nice drawing wao.. You're really good!

It's unfair, why can't I draw good.

GATX207_Blitz · 2003-11-29, 01:23

hey wao your drawings are superb and I just don't know why, but I want to see this pic completed with or without color in a background and stuff... well I just want to see this pic completed do you think you might want to??? well its all up to you

wao · 2003-11-29, 01:53

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Yeah, I'm thanking you guys for replying. What's wrong?! >_>

Nice colouring really, I like fenrihr's clothes fold colouring thingy, and squonjon has a pretty interesting style. Like some ads I've seen .

Babak: You probably 0wn me in other areas, and also I'm not the best artist, there will always be people better than you in something, but they're usually worse than you somewhere else ^_^

GATX207_Blitz: Someday, I will finish this. Someday. ;-; (Meanwhile, start working on those flying pigs, willya?)

Yeah, you're probably right.
But still! I want to be able to draw good! But I can't!!

GATX207_Blitz · 2003-11-29, 20:17

heh

wao · 2003-11-30, 00:29

WTF!! :P

Well I did the shading for the face, arms and feet. It's a little odd.

Now I have to tackle the.... *collapses* shirt =_=

And Babak, I wanted to take Geography, but I always do better in Literature even though I didn't aim to do well in it. Fate has it I couldn't take Geography becuase there weren't enough classes....

...uhuh

EDIT: THe colours look a little weird. o_O His skin was a different looking colour in Photoshop I swear... or maybe my eyes are deteriorating. =_=

fenrihr · 2003-11-30, 19:24

i got that problem w/ photoshop too, all the things i color turn out a darker color than what i colored them as... .. so i end up upping the brightness on some of them

GATX207_Blitz · 2003-12-01, 04:58

wow that pic looks great and I thought it looked fine when I first saw it, but I guess I don't have that artist's eye and this is bothering me a little you keep calling the pic a him is it a guy? I thought it was a girl *runs away in fear of getting hurt
