Sibblet's Entry

(http://i50BannedImageSite/2s76hc9.png)

Who is this?
This is my main character (fursona) Sibb. Sibb is a cheetah cub from the markings you can see.

How was this created?
Firstly hand drawn then the following programs that were used PicMonkey(an online browser program) AND Gimp2(only just started using.)

It has taken me roughly 2 weeks to get this picture exactly coloured right and to make sure no spots were missed. The difficult parts were the: mane corners as sharp as they are, I needed to shrink my brush every so often and then re-size it.

This picture was at first hand drawn using a pencil, gone over the lines manually with Paint on the laptop, painted in colour by hand with no computer guidance (no wand tool used AT ALL so no highlighted places of the picture), changed program from PicMonkey to Gimp half way completed after not knowing HOW to use Gimp in the first place.

After practicing with Gimp for a while, I began to learn how to use certain tools such as the wand and gradient tool.
But these were not used at the beginning as the browser program didn't have one.

Thank you guys for the positive feedback! I really appreciate it. It has taken me ages to get it all right and I never usually colour my art!

Thank you Fishy, i've noticed that now. I can never get the direct links right. Dx
