WOW! Would you mind sharing some of that sickness you mentioned with me? If it brings forth such excellent work I want to have it too

Frankly Gustav, this is an aweseome job! He is so three-dimensional!
The expression also is really interesting. I wish I could say something more useful with regard to constructive criticism, but you are leaving no real room you leave for that.
I notice for once you left out your "sparkling eye signature". Nothing against your style, but I think in case of this picture it comes across better without the sparkling effect.

And if someone's sitting on tips on how to draw backgrounds... I hope that person share his/her secret!

Not too much of a secret there I think. Think of a landscape and draw it. Skies are getting lighter (may actually turn white) towards the horizon (same goes for large water surfaces). Also it often gives a realistic touch if colors of distant objects are not too strong. Photoshop offers many tools suitable to create structures like leaves, grass, or rough, rocky surfaces. Do you have any particular questions about backgrounds?

Thanks a thousand everyone! Glad you liked it!

Malte, it's his eyes. They are just black and white. That's why I didn't add it this time.

Backgrounds, yeah... Mainly, I wonder were to start. I'm not that good on drawing trees, roads dissapearing, different angles... etc. Things like that.
Well, can't and can't... I don't seem to make it work.

Anything you can give me would be highly apreciated.

Aswell for opinions on these new techs.

Great Guido picture & expression.

You can do what some have done and use pictures of landscapes as background for your drawings, or try drawing over some landscape pictures in a sort of rotoscope type, though you could leave some things out, no need to trace everything if you don't want to. Some rocks could be left out, a tree here and there, ect.

Wow Lillefot! That's an awesome pic of Guido! The shading is superb and you captured his character excellently! Well done dude! A piece to be proud of

Sweet Guido pic!

Hello:
It is cool that you made a pic of Guido, I am really hoping that only the illness will go away and that the inspiration will remain

Gustav, these last two pieces of artwork - incredible!

I like this new style a lot, but your old style is fine too.

Just do what you think is best.

Is it possible for you to do Chomper and Guido with Duncan from the Total Drama series?

Lillefot · **Reply #290 on:** January 31, 2009, 05:13:10 PM

Chomper and Guido for sure, but I don't know anything about Duncan or the Total Drama series... If Duncan's a human, it might be hard, since I have little experience in drawing humans... :unsure:

Chomper4 · **Reply #291 on:** January 31, 2009, 06:02:30 PM

Check Duncan out at totaldramaisland.wikia.com

Chomper4 · **Reply #292 on:** February 01, 2009, 06:03:33 PM

Yes, Duncan is human.

Chomper4 · **Reply #294 on:** February 07, 2009, 03:07:06 PM

Why'd you say that?
