Yes, better you work on it and post it only once you are happy with it then post it and wish you had worked on it till you were happy and satisfied.

Oh brother...
I've been working all afternoon with this picture!
First I made a sketch in MS Paint, then filled it with lines.
Thing is now, I have to carefully use the eraser tool to remove the sketch lines!
I used a few tricks, and finaly, after many hours work, the lineart is done.
It looks perfect... MARVELOUS!!!!
Now, I gonna color it, I'll try some highlight functions as well, hopefully it will come out well. (I won't post it untill I'm okay with it).
This posture is soo cute!

Ok, my arm hurts like crazy, but it's worth it! I'm having real fun! :^.^:

Good night everyone!

One idea maybe to put in something that may be why she's crying, or if that happened before the picture takes place. The someone she is looking at could be off the drawing so perhaps no need to draw that.

You may try to pick some stuff that you find not to difficult to draw as far as background stuff. I'm not sure what that would be, rocks, some water, trees in the distance, ect.

Well, that little tear is just there becasue she has just stopped crying, and is about to get happy again! :^.^: And cause I wanted it to give some more details to the picture.

I have no idea at ALL to draw backgrounds, and how do I draw trees???
I'll check around you other guys artwork, see if I can get some inspiration.

A BIG factor that I lack is that I don't have Photoshop CS2-3...
Which means, NO grass brush tool! :angry:
But now I think I have an idea for a background...
I just need to make the image smaller first, without ruin the lines and structure...
Anyone?

I think I got the hang of how to make clouds, guess I'll give it a shot.
As I still have the lineart complete, Ican edit this image unlimited! :^.^:

But I still need GRASS!

Some artists take a real picture and put their figure in over it, I've no idea how but that could be one idea.

It might be an idea, but I do want to learn how to draw my own.
Now I added clouds to the pic, but what else?
It looks very lonenly and stiff this pic, apart from the other ones that I find quite nice, even without backgrounds... it needs more dynamics and life!

Maybe get an idea from a scene in a picture, book cover, or other source. Depending what is easy to draw, sand, rocks, water, other things.

Lillefot · **Reply #51 on:** May 17, 2008, 09:11:48 AM

You're right...
Hm, I think I should lean back for a while and think...
In what enviroment would this scene take place...?
I can't draw a whole field in the background, since this picture's a "closeup", meaning Ruby takes up alot of space.
I think, maybe she would be siting in the nest... in a lushy, bush area...
With palm tree leaves over her head, and treestars on the ground...
But, I dunno...

Kor · **Reply #52 on:** May 17, 2008, 09:17:59 AM

No hurry, take your time. Maybe the next picture you draw could be what Ruby is looking at to make her laugh, when you get around to drawing it. Again, no hurry.

Lillefot · **Reply #53 on:** May 17, 2008, 09:18:37 AM

Or really, I could just do a "flashy" background that looks nice and don't have any enviroments or anything.
Just a background to add more colors and life to the picture.

My godness, I almost have to cry looking at the picture of poor Ruby looking so sad!
Really an awesome job Gustav! Very few pictures are so emotional.

Nice pic. =)

No way there is no "grass" brush in P-Shop. There must be at least two (I'm using P-Shop 7.0) but you can download brushes on the net. Just try googling. =)
There are also many tutorials on how to draw backgrounds.

Ok, I'll try. Thanks Sky!
I've been looking around like a spy on whole Google, but maybe I'm using the wrong tag words...

Malte,
Thanks mate, I'm glad you like it and don't cry too much! :^.^:
