My Art

[The Melee Master]

Thanks!

I printed this out and colored it in a long time ago. F*cking scanner messed up the skin color; it's NOT suppose to be gray!

Edit: Here's what it's suppose to look like!

[ganondorf2]

Ah ok.

[The Melee Master]

Unedited rough sketch and inked cleanup, somewhat. This didn't take me long at all to do.

[ganondorf2]

Pretty good.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks. Here's a quick colorized version of my work.

Defeated

[ganondorf2]

Nice.

[The Melee Master]

I traced over an old piece with another paper and using a light board, to preserve the original rather than ink it. I just wanted to mess with my manga pens. That's all.

[ganondorf2]

Looks good.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks.

Felt like inking and coloring another drawing of mine, once again using the light board to trace and preserve the original, which is going to be a thing from now on as I don't fully trust my inking skills yet.

[ganondorf2]

That's fair. I'll have to find one myself.

[The Melee Master]

Wish I had a better lightboard, actually. The one I have has black spots on it, so it's hard to see the drawing unless I turn the brightness all the way up, and even then, it's still kinda hard to see.

This is the DIY diamond painting I was working on before. Finally finished it on Thursday! I'll be receiving another one to do after my mom comes home from Florida.

[ganondorf2]

Nice!

[The Melee Master]

Thanks. I'll post my other one later.

The result of an inked art piece when I slow down and take my precious time with it, though still felt like a rush job.

[ganondorf2]

It's not that bad.

[The Melee Master]

Cool, thanks!

Used three different ink pens on this one, as I'm trying to decide which one will be my standard. Might be leaning toward 0.5, but what do YOU think?

[ganondorf2]

I'm with you on that.

[The Melee Master]

Cool, then that will be the pen I'll use the most. Not too thin and not too thick, I think. Thank you for your input! Here's another I just got done. No, having the pens there won't be a thing, I promise.

[ganondorf2]

No problem.

[The Melee Master]

I forgot to put in the pens, but oh well.

[ganondorf2]

You're good.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks.

One final ink piece of an old work. I think I'll move onto inking out new pieces of art from this point on, as well as use my scanner. I got lazy.

[ganondorf2]

That's fair.

[The Melee Master]

OK, I lied, and I was bored. No specific date because this was done a while ago.

[ganondorf2]

Lol all good. Another good piece

[The Melee Master]

Thank you! And as far as my art is concerned, inking them will be a regular thing. Makes them look cleaner, in my opinion. One of these days, when I'm not being lazy, I'll probably post a visual step-by-step of my drawing process, but for now, this is what I do:

-Sketch out the drawing, usually by following a pose reference
-Edit in details
-Go back and draw (with pencil) overtop the sketch to clean it up
-Pin drawing to light board with another paper laid overtop to preserve the original in case of mistakes
-Trace over with pencil to use as a guide for inking
-Slowly and steadily trace over with selected manga pens
-Take eraser to finished inked drawing

My pics may not be manga quality as I try to make them, but they're still doable.

[ganondorf2]

I need to get back into that again. My problem is...where to start.

[The Melee Master]

I have a hard time starting new drawings myself, thus why I've been going back to my old ones and inking them. This is one of them, of course.

[ganondorf2]

Not bad.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks.

My current diamond painting progress.

[ganondorf2]

Nice.
