That looks great! I particularly like the crosshatching shading; I've never been that good at it.
thanks :D hatching is my the way i know for shadowing black and white stuff, i dont have any tone paper.. stuffs too expensive :o
Hmm...that looks like Serra...
Oh yeah, tone paper is really expensive... and far too quick to go away. ???
I'd rather have digital tones, though, considering my computer's low tolerance... ^^;
yeah it is Serra ^_^ ive been fine without tone for 4 years so i just find other ways around it
I don't know how to explain my style, hahah... Now when you say tone paper, you mean sketchbook quality paper as opposed to regular printer paper?
Looks good.
<_<
>_>
High school art for the past four years
*RUNS*
Tone paper is the thickness of tracing paper; usually used in comics/manga. It's how they add those nice effects and whatnot; under the tone, it's just the lineart.

Screentone, is what it's usually referred to. It does come in the digital variety, but I'm a traditional person... I don't like digital drawing that much, I'm not very good at it.
That's becasue you don't have a WACOM tablet and those things are pricey.
Ack, let us not bring tablets into this discussion... I know someone who has a tablet. I used it once. It sucks, really. I draw too lightly for it to be of any use to me, and traveling on the internets is fairly difficult.
I've always been a mouse person, I don't like it when people use not having a tablet/photoshop as an excuse for poor digital skill. Besides, I use the bezier tool and pen tool (on photoshop) to make my lines look nice, not a tablet.
Sorry, I have and always will feel strongly about that matter. ^^;
Uhh... lots of professional artists have used tablets, including many MANY webcomic artists.

hmm? do you mean classes? i learned by myself how to draw.. no books or anything, one day i decited i want to draw Kurama. so i did and he looked ok.. so i continued drawing. i observe every little detail when i read manga/watch anime so that helps :-X
What have four years of art taught me in the direct sense? NOTHING!
What have four years of art taught me in an indirect sense? That I really REALLY like painting and weird perspectives and drawings. Art class can give you a chance to experiment with stuff.
Lots of professional artists have used mice, too. I'm just saying you don't need all this expensive stuff to be a great artist; just because you own a tablet doesn't make you a high and mighty artist.
I mean, no offense, it's just no use to me, and I don't think it'd do much a difference for me anyways; bezier and pen tool are just manipulated with points, not actual lines being drawn.
oh you were in art class for 4 years. kinda wierd because i have been drawing for 4 years too. thats why i got confused So you do abstract then? I used to do that, but it got to tedious for me
My work is traditionally 'ugly'. It tends to be of the sort that is of no particular recognizable form or of landscapes with experimentation in design. I'm like that a lot. It may be ugly, but it's still interesting to look at. (I should post them...)
Both of you need to get a DA. Now.
Anyways, yeah, I like the crosshatching effect, and I love the jacket, I forgot to mention that, didn't I? Oops.
Get a what-now?
Oh, oops.
DA = abbreviation for DeviantART.

Though I will admit it is dying, sort of.
I don't believe in DA. Not after the whole Gamefaqs fiasco...
Por que no?
Nevermind, I mean, I know what you're talking about and stuff. And there can be jerks on DA, so it's okay. Though I'd just ignore them, I'm not forcing you to join or anything.
i usually dont show anyone my art ;D
EVERYONE ON HERE IS BETTER THAN ME!!
It looks good!!
You should show people your art. Its vair good, and it can get you truly recognized in the art field.
It's much, much better than the drawings I make. :P
You're a good anime artist, Sess. ;)
thanks again :)
You're pretty good. Much better than my petty atempts to draw. I guess thats why I stick to spriting, which luckily requires almost no artistic talent.
Brian Clevinger (http://nuklearpower.com) would agree.
So would Dave Anez (http://bobandgeorge.com).
im reviving this because i made some new stuff and i like my stuff all together :)
these are some Fire Emblem sprites i made.
I named her Kaosu. Shes a Sword Mage

This is Uindo, shes a jester.

I digi colored this one, Serra
(http://fireemblemblog.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/serramt-colored.jpg)
You know what I ought to do? I should put up my old pokemon drawings from fourth and fifth grade. I'll try to scan those tonight.
I recognize Marisa's body and Joshua's hat. And any further recognition stops there.
I did some modifications on some FE sprites myself. Nothing too fancy; I'm not that good. I just chose my favorite characters and changed the color of their hair. Sometimes their clothing. I found out that Marisa looks decent with just about any color hair, but Lute and Ismaire can only pull off the color they were born with. I can show you some of them if you want to see them.
