Line-Art Experiment
« on: March 09, 2015, 09:37:43 pm »
So when my art shop was still around here, one of my biggest faults is that I never used skeletons to shape my character. I pretty much just did a "trial-and-error" type of drawing until I got something I liked.

I use GIMP and a basic Wacom tablet to do art and presets with, and I'd always use a pencil or paintbrush to do my work. Only issue with both of those is that neither of them really have a "neat" appearance--one's too fuzzy and the other is too sharp. I would use the lasso tool to clean up my art and color it afterwards (a very long and tedious process).

Lately I've been experimenting with both the ink tool and skeletons to completely skip a whole step in my previous process (completely eliminating the clean-up).

What do you guys say? owo

Ooo, ye have improved. Yes. Skeletons do wonders within an art piece (even though I don't quite use skeletons myself). With a bit of practice, usin' a skeleton will make artwork be a whole lot easier so yer mind won't have to keep strainin' to guess what anatomical part goes where I guess ye could say. Ye've drawn this lovely lioness well, madam, aye, and if it erased a bit of the "long and tedious process" ye mentioned, then that's another big plus.
