Thanks for the feedback guys!
With regards to your question on the Ducky drawing, I am not sure about the new outline method that you tried on Ducky. The strengthened outlines seem to overpower her light coloration (even with the stronger colors), in my opinion. It is still a very good drawing, in my opinion, and the dark outlines might not be as noticeable with a colored-in background, but the difference is noticeable on a white background in comparison to your earlier drawings of Ducky. However, with characters of a darker coloration (Spike and Petrie, for example) the darker outlines and coloration would probably work rather well.
I look forward to seeing how your new outlining technique works in future drawings. in-yes.gif
Thanks for honest critique
I see what you mean. Of the next few drawings, I didn't colour any of them using that method but am eager to try it out with some of my drawings that are still only sketched (I always gather a few drawings and sketches before I scan them as the only scanner I have access to is the one at my mum's office so yeah... I'll see that she scans a few drawings at once).
Aah, yep, I remember you said something about that Petrie. biggrin.gif
And he looks good wink.gif not 1:1 perfect, but if you don't trace stuff, that's almost impossible. Even if it MAY look like it is, real 100% perfection..nnope. ^^
Well, I can't argue with that
I admit that I traced one of my recently uploaded pictures somewhat because I failed like two or three times and decided to "cheat" a little
The only thing that seems a bit off is the size difference between his pupils. Other than that, good one. wink.gif
Yeah, somewhat
About the outlines: Nothing wrong with thicker outlines, but you should try and make them the same thickness everywhere. For example, Ducky's horn in the lastest drawing of her you did. wink.gif
Well, first and foremost, I do try to make the outlines as equal in strength as possible. I believe however that the main reasons as for why I can't keep it equal sometimes are: 1. It happens sometimes that I don't get it right at the first try so I just go over it again... I used to use a black coloured pencil for the outlining (as in my recent additions). I recently switched to using regular pencils, preferably a B4 but I've also used a normal B and it looked fine
Which sort of leads me to... 2. Pencils lose their sharpness since they're being rubbed off. Moreover, and this is especially apparant with my black pencil as it is very think (made for young kids who need more stable pencils), it does make a significant difference whether you're using an edge or a rubbed-plain part of the pencil (hope you get what I'm trying to explain
). I do try to make them equal in my future drawings as I can erase things when using pencils as opposed to their coloured compagnions
And some lines are darker/brighter than the rest - this might be a cause of scanning, I don't know (that's why I take photos of my stuff^^), but if it's not, try and make them the same darkness everywhere - or maybe darker in a place where they line out a darker color shade, like Ducky's back.
Might be due to scanning to a certain degree but I assume it's rather my fault than the scanner's
That's it, I hope you can make something out of this. smile.gif
(And if it's not, you can always write me a PM wink.gif )
Oh, don't worry. Your detailed critism is really helpful (applies to you as well, rhombus
) Hmm, of course I will PM you in such a situation
Though I'd have to delete some PM's as my inbox is 98% full
So happy that I have no school tomorrow ^^
Oh btw, I'm still looking forward to something you announced in my art thread. biggrin.gif
As I said, it's going to take a while until it'll be uploaded. If you, however, want a sneak peak... just let me know and I'll shoot a photo (will be lower quality however...)
