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

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
