The Land Before Time fanart

Why don't you start drawing your own art ?

I'd love to see some actual land before time characters rather than fan characters. That way you cannot steal anyone's art either.

Okay, actually I was planning on trying out Ruby or Ali, but I'm not sure how to start it out.

Get a screenshot of the character in front of you, a pencil, eraser and paper and just start drawing.. look back at the picture so now and then to see how it is coming along.

It doesn't have to be perfect! When it's done, just take a picture with a camera or cell phone and upload the picture to photobucket, you don't always need to have a scanner

One thing you should keep in mind when starting to draw pictures on your own (without relying on a reference) takes practice. Don't be discouraged if they don't turn out as good as you hoped they would be. Just keep drawing and you'll get better at it.

Actually, I am a pretty good drawer, but I'm not sure how I save upload a picture through a phone to camera to upload it to paint (or GIMP).

Dose anyone know how?

If you have a camera, just connect it to your computer. Most cameras come with a USB wire and software.

If not, look if your computer has a 'SD card slot'.

You can insert the memory card of your camera in there.

Just take it out of the camera, it's usually a blue or black card, can't miss it

Yeah, its in my tower. Then what to get it to paint or GIMP?

Mumbling · **Reply #27 on:** August 05, 2010, 09:11:14 PM

You rightclick the file of the picture and go > Open with: paint or gimp

Then you can draw over it etc.

Thank you! I post a few if I can figure it out tommorow.

If anything is edited, it's mine for now on if this works, which I have a feeling it will.

Again, thank you!

I've never had anyone help me out this much on any sites before. I can really think why you were a choice to be a mod.

Good luck! If you have any problem, just post here and I'll get back to you.

If I choose to upload something, dose every pic on the card upload or can you choose certain ones? Cause my mom dosen't want all her pictures to downland, I might just wait until she gets a new card.

Mumbling · **Reply #31 on:** August 05, 2010, 09:46:43 PM

No, much like you upload your drawing right now, you only select one file/picture

So it's just one pic at a time? Right?

Mumbling · **Reply #33 on:** August 05, 2010, 09:55:00 PM

Yes.

If you plug your camera into your computer nothing gets uploaded.

You edit your picture and save it, and make sure to select that picture to upload to deviantart/photobucket or whatever

I've got a picture of Chomper and Ruby drawn, but I don't know when I get it uploaded, my mom is very busy right now and she can't do it.

But she said I will get the picture taken today.

Out of curiosity, would you be interested in Gimp tutorials?

Even though I'm getting the hang of it, sure.

Are they from you directly or are they youtube videos?

But from August 10th on I'll be in school, so maybe not. I'd want to, but I don't I'd have the time with the homework and everything.

I know that she knows how to use GIMP, I just to know it's directly from her or youtube videos of her or just normal tutorials found through google or bing.

I was going to look up Youtube videos (since it would be faster) to see if I could find any Gimp tutorials that may involve something you don't know how to do. One thing I was thinking of was layers. They make it easier for you to edit the pictures (in my opinion). You don't have to look at the tutorials if you don't want to. It's just an idea.
