I was in the middle of colouring the Prowl one, and was actually quite far into it. Then my HD died mysteriously. It'll be a bit before I get back to that one, now.
I can understand trying to make it look neater in Photoshop, but I still have trouble doing that with its paintbrush tool ("B" Hotkey)Quote:

The other trick is to draw large. 11" x 17" is the standard (I just used two standard pieces of printer paper taped together, I'm too cheap to get expensive artists paper). That makes the lines look sharper once scanned and resized properly, a lot of smaller errors vanish.
I'm not really experienced in Photoshop. I use Paintshop Pro. I find that its interface is a bit easier. The best thing to know is that holding shift while using a paintbrush-type tool draws a straight line between the point that your mouse last left, and the point where you clicked. Very handy for cleaning up lines. The other thing to practice is using bezier curves. I can't give you any real pointers there. You just have to try it and get a feel for how to control it.
Here's my first (finished) colour work. Some might recognize the Bumblebee character, but the girl is a fanmade character of mine. This was done for an artists challenge over at www.allspark.com.
If you're interested, a bio for her character is here, although I'm sure it won't mean much to those of you who aren't familiar with the franchise.

I've really got to get some non-TF artwork finished, but I'm in the middle of doing some art projects for the various message boards.
I just need a new scanner. Nice coloring job =0,
Yeah, he used to watch it as a kid. :nod:Quote:

Made a billboard for class. The plane was done entirely with the pen tool. Original size is much bigger. Many people told me they felt my oriental influence in this peice. Come to think of it...I do too.

that's really good since you did the plane with the pen tool :biggrin:, still haven't got a hang of the pen tool :\
^ I still use the pencil.. you know, the ones with the graphite? yeah.
Bored.
Sometimes pen looks like pencil.. sometimes it's so much so that it frightens people.
Nice

If I ever see you for real, I'm brining flowers and writing happy messages all over your bedroom wall. It's what I do to all gloomy people.
