Girls dockin…?
Saw a news item on dannychoo.com yesterday, was very amused that that imagery has a term! :P
yes a sketchu preview in progress :P Gotta love a lazy(-ish) Sunday!
Alice in wonderland progress
Tried some other tools in Sai, very quick fills done, haven’t really figured out the program fully just yet, so background was quickly done in photoshop, may redo it later in Sai of course.
There are different ways and methods I use when I colour my artwork.
Usually the line art — either scanned image, or inked in the computer — is in a separate layer, and similar or same colours or items (example, hair, clothing, skintone etc) in different layers. I noticed that in photoshop the file will become huge as more layers, shading and effects are added.
In Sai, the image refreshes and saves quickly, something I really like since it definitely saves some time. Also multi control-Z is definitely a plus ^^. In this current work in progress, I fill some base colours (in separate layers) first, this method allows me a quick over view of the overall colour schemes and when I finalise colours I will do shading later. This method is neater in a way that we can re-select the filled in parts, keeping most shading within the base colours.
In the previous “That cat girl” I used a slightly more time consuming and messier method, where I shade roughly around and then erase the strokes which bleeded outside of the line art.
That Cat girl
Okie quick colouring of cat girl completed ^^/ Was gonna give her a more fantasy colour hair style but end up using brown ^^; This piece of work is mostly coloured in Sai, quick background and text done in photoshop ^^ As usual, clicking on image below brings you to full view, or you can find it in Gallery page.
okay back to Work work ^^;;;;
Nya?
Sai program getto p(^O^)q
I was pleasantly surprised that they had an english version of a page which I previously only saw a Japanese version of, and realised omg I could get the license to use it since I like it a lot :P The line and brush strokes feels more natural on this little programe than photoshop ^^; I’m not used to the wand tool in Sai just yet so am using a different method to colour, the colours leaking out will be erased near the end — which is why the colours are bleeding on the edge. I’m not done colouring this image yet of course :P
Shop sketches from thursday
Was rather busy on Friday, so did not scan my sketches from thursday ^^;
I sketched some ideas for some doll related sewing, couldn’t resist drawing thus “Alice in wonderland” inspired themed girl ;) 
Drew a maiddo chan and a nameless lady holding a cuppa coffee ^^
Sketching is always quick, but refining and colouring are time consuming, hopefully will find some time to colour something soon! ^O^;
New toy — Bamboo Wacom tablet
While out and about with the husband on Sunday, we came across this slick looking Bamboo drawing tablet which was at a reasonable price, so we decided to get it for me to try it out.
I remember seeing an entry called Anime paperchild on 望み – What is that you desire?
And decided to try my hand at making one with my new “toy”.
Here she is, having tea in her yukata on my tablet ^^ I was going to colour her, but thought to make a black and white version first ^^ I did a rough sketch in pencil and paper, then “inked” and shaded her in photoshop.
After that I printed her out on our inkjet printer and cut her out. Took a few shots, and decided this one looks the best of the lot.
Tried putting her on my laptop also ^^
Since she turned out rather cute, I hope to find time to colour her eventually, possibly after my deadline later this week ^O^; meanwhile, here’s the version in grey :3
Swim wear ladies in progress
Too busy these days, can’t finish colouring ^^; also going past my bed time (no good)
Was gonna finish the clue, but never got to it just yet :P Thanks everyone for answering the questions from previous post ^^
Curious to know
1) What do you notice first when you see this sketch below?
2) Which girl U prefer? :P
Small update about puppy clock status: Hmmm I haven’t figured out how to make it work on wordpress so may eventually just put something which will work on blogger (Like mine) later on ^^; Sorry for the wait ^^;
ok back to work ^^;
