[Kitiara]

Long hair? Rats, must've forgotton that. I'll give him some flowing locks then... You can pick between the two. :)

The thing at the bottom is my new signature for artwork, gets put on things automatically for when I get my website up and running. Just chop it off... :)

[Kitiara]

Couple of days, I would imagine. It generally takes me a couple of re-draws to get a picture exactly how I want it. :)

[teed]

:) yey cant wait :)

[kbmviji]

Hi Kit!

The picture is very good! Nice work!
How do u do it? PS or Flash?
I am finding it very difficult to drawn in Flash and use the gradients.

I hv a doubt:
Can we use the Pen tool to draw the outlines in PS? If we can, how to do it?

Please help me.

[eilsoe]

I think kit does her art in flash.. I THINK so.. can't remember... :)

and outlines in PS with pen is possible, just select it, make your paths, and rightclick and select "stroke".. :)


kit: Shall I fetch lost to help out? :bad:

[Soul]

Kit gives me her bra by choice, I don't need to steal it :P

Right Kit? :love:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Kit gives me her bra by choice, I don't need to steal it Shhh, I told you not to tell anyone about that... :P

As for how I draw them, Eilsoe is correct, I do use Flash. Basically I just draw a basic picture on paper and scan it in, then import to Flash MX. Lock that onto the bottom layer, then use the Pen and Fill tools to draw and colour in.

I have to say that I never bother with gradient fills on these things, as it always seems more hassle than it's worth. If I need some shading, then I'll do it with blocks of colour.

I'm sure you can do similar with Photoshop, but I prefer Illustrator. here's a tapered pen brush that you can use which is great for manga style drawing.

[Soul]

*cherishes Kits bra* :love:

- Soul :s:

[kbmviji]

Ok. Thank you. I will try with Illustrator.

[teed]

[Kitiara]

I've started on yours today. :)

Fingers crossed for early next week completion...

[teed]

*fingers crossed* :) oooo...i cant wait, by the way how is your site coming on?

[Kitiara]

Getting there. Made a couple of pages, and I'm in the process of buying the domain name...

[entenzo]

cool, so where are you getting hosting from ??

[Kitiara]

Good question. No idea, as yet. Hadn't thought that far ahead, to be honest. :sigh:

[Soul]

www.doteasy.com :)

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Thank you... :)

[teed]

oo...cool i need hosting but i know someone who is gonna host me we i finish my site :)

[teed]

ooo..hows it comin on kit, the drawing and your site?

[Kitiara]

Sketched on paper, just need to scan in and trace now. :)

Before I do though, just want to check the hair style... You said long, but can you link to a pic of the style you're after?

[Lunar_4u]

Very nice character Kit, Hehe how about becoming my master and teaching me all ur skills of line art?? I make a good squire :D. Dunno how u get the hair lookin so good on ur drawings, i always find that tough!!

[Kitiara]

Hair isn't the problem... It's hands and feet that are awkward. :P

There is a definite trick to the hair though. Once I learned it I stopped floundering quite so much. :)

I draw 90% of my stuff on paper first, then scan in and trace. On the sketch, don't draw any hair to start with, just the shape of the head. Then pick the crown - where you want all the hair to start from. If you look at your own hair you'll see there's a point where it all kind of revolves around. That's what you want.

Then once you've placed that, you draw the hair in sections, flowing from that point...

Maybe I should make some tutorials on this?

[Lunar_4u]

*looks at his own hair :(, lol its abit of a mess* I think that would be a great idea!!! cause i just can't get the hang of it, i'm gettin better at others things though, i just finished my line art for vehicle battle, a nice big robot :D, one of my best efforts yet i think

[teed]

emm.. hang on i will search now :)
