timsemra-deactivated20190102: I saw your art of Scout Harding and it's pretty cool! Have you considered drawing a Ram or Nug from DA:I? It think those animals would be super cute in chibi form.
Thanks! :3 I haven’t really put that much thought in to my drawings, just been drawing whatever, heh. If they happen to be relevant when drawing some other character then I might~ :D
Out of everyone in Inquisition I can only seem to draw Scout Harding…which I’m totally cool with…cause she’s flippin adorable.
I’d like to attempt to do all of the companions at some stage, but all chibi and maybe as gifs :| also I recorded this but it corrupted in the last 20 minutes or so, so I only have colouring her hair…
I had a nicer flipbook for 2005 but I seem to have lost it. So it's a good thing I made my school books into them.
A friend showed me a program for making glitter gifs, I ended up getting different program that could do more than 3 frames. It could also import video! so I traced a lot of anime...
Traced more anime stuff, this one isn't though. Instead of bringing my usual sketchbook to class I brought a folder full of animation frames.
Worked on a short animation for class and another in my own time with my characters Sakura and Momotaro. One was done in PS, the other on bits of post-it notes.
I actually forgot I animated this. A little short thing that was never finished. This was the only thing I did in 2009. I mainly did drawings and made flash games.
Focused on making pixel animations, didn't animate anything else. Made more Flash games.
Spent more time illustrating than animating, only made a couple of small pixel icons.
Started Uni! ended up there by chance, as I'd forgotten that I liked animating and had no idea I could study it.
Started using TVpaint...animated many sparkles...wasn't able to completely finish my shorts.
ANIMATED MORE SPARKLES
...and actually finished my animations. Huzzah.
After seeing sashamutch’s animation progress deelie I thought I’d have a try too :O albeit a bit messy…and with less examples for each year…also apologies for this wall of gifs. Each year is captioned with stuff.
I slightly altered the 2006 gif, somehow 12 year old me managed to animate the legs forward but the hair backwards…so I just reversed the hair…
finntrollinabox-deactivated2015: Hi! I recently got a Bamboo tablet and I'm using it Photoshop CS6. I'm wondering if you can give me insight into shading and getting nice lines. I'm a visual artist but I've only used pencils/pastels/watercolors haha I'm new to the computer drawing stuff! Thanks, and I love your work :)
Hi! Okay I’m probably going to waffle on for a bit so I’ll put this under a thing, but in short: play around, you’ll find what works for you…be prepared for it to take a while though if this is your first time using both a tablet and digital drawing software.
First, I’m not sure if I’m the best person to give advice on this ^^’ when I started digital work I only used a mouse, which I did for 5 years until I got a small Intuos. And when I got a tablet I still preferred mouse stuff, took ages before I was happy to use it. Also I use PaintTool SAI for my work, I find the brushes in Photoshop very annoying. I used Photoshop up until I got my tablet which is when I moved to SAI. Now I use a combination of the two for different things.
SAI is good for easy to use tools, PS has a bigger range of more complex tools. As for getting nice lines…I really can’t help you, sorry. I find it very difficult to get good PS lines it always feels very jarring and slow to me.
And as for shading that is one thing that is pretty similar between them! or at least with how I shade, and I have severaltutorials on how I do it.
If you’d like to know something more specific I’m happy to have another crack at answering, or make a tutorial, or a recording or whatever :) But yeah, just practice and you’ll find what works. You might find that you start to mimic your traditional techniques…at least that’s what I’ve found. And thank you!
Oh yeah! I was trying to remember who else it was who had the same birthday XD I could only remember what your art looked like OTL pff, Happy Birthday to you too!!
And thank you! to you and everyone else who sent a message!!
I was going to put them all here but with tumblr formatting that would really stretch this out :|
Huzzah~ now I’ve got enough SU sparkly things to warrant making one big wall of glittery gifs~
