Your values changed significantly going from greyscale to colour
because i did what i said to do in my post
[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;44180726]Never use overlay to color an image[/QUOTE] Overlay works well if you know how to use it. You just need to keep brightness on 50% or so, and it won't change any values.

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;44178681]Nice spatial quality mal Maybe crop off a sliver on the left, with that black triangle.[/QUOTE] Cheers, I think I'll make it a bit wider though or bring the triangle further right - it's there to break the flow of those wires and stop the head from looking as though it's being thrust forward towards the human figure [QUOTE=Mr cake fingers;44178300]The weld line (or whatever) looks like it needs to be moved closer towards the back eye, also is the back eye a bit too big?[/QUOTE] Ah yup, I'll fix that soon, cheers [QUOTE=Mandems;44180653]how do you guys add colour to your drawings after I don't understand, using layers and overlay mode kinda ruins the picture in my opinion is there something I don't know?[/QUOTE] There are ways of doing it so that it looks great. Generally I think it involves a bit of painting over the top of the recoloured image again with opaque normal brushes to bring back some vibrancy. Unfortunately I still haven't mastered the process. For a shot like this though I think a general black-and-white-layer-as-overlay-mode or coloured-layer-as-colour-mode technique would work fine, because it's already a gloomy scene and I wouldn't be trying to put a whole lot of vibrancy in there [editline]10th March 2014[/editline] cheers for all the support guys holy crap, that's really made my morning [editline]10th March 2014[/editline] I want to move her closer to the robot head, so that she's nearly touching it and it's more of a soothing/tender/tentative ('How to Train Your Dragon' meeting Toothless) type thing. At the moment it's a bit ambiguous as to what's going on and how she's feeling about the whole situation
[QUOTE=antianan;44182234]Overlay works well if you know how to use it. You just need to keep brightness on 50% or so, and it won't change any values.[/QUOTE] using the color blending mode. overlay multiplies the layers, so values under 50% get darkened and over get brightened. color preserves the luminance.

Who here goes to art school?
i guess i go to an art/design school but not in the traditional sense really
Online lessons?
i study animation at uni, not really art in the traditional sense
I just finished 4 years at art school
[QUOTE=Lilyo;44184811]Online lessons?[/QUOTE] nah it's just i study game design, which is only really 50% art if that. my university does game art, game design, animation, vfx, cgi, music production... that kinda stuff. so not really 'art school' i guess
something I wrote real quick. [quote]“Slow and steady now,” the captain said to his conductor. “Let's try and keep the kickup to a minimal this time round, eh?” The conductor gave a laugh as he pulled on a large lever. Suddenly the colossal dunecrawler gave a mighty groan as steam and smoke poured from its many stacks and vents all along the front engine car. The small crowd of townsfolk gathering at the station gave a few waves and whistles, but the departure was less than stellar. Such would be expected at a place as desolate as Blackwater. Nonetheless it was a nice sentiment. The last few whistles gave a loud blow of steam as the massive continuous tracks along each car began to creak to life, dumping sand and stones as they vibrated free. The dunecrawler was impressively large to say the least. A dozen hundred foot long and thirty foot tall boxy cars of steel and rusted bolts with two track assemblies along each side big enough to roll over even the biggest Legion tank. From a distance it could easily be confused as a row of steam billowing buildings along the horizon as it trudged across the desert. People began to disperse from the platform as the crawler began to pick up speed. Kicking up plumes of sand and dirt as the treads dug into the soft ground. “Well, at least we didn't cover the platform in a foot of sand like last time,” the captain joked while giving the conductor a lighthearted slap on the shoulder. “Keep a steady cruising pace until we clear the town limits. I'm going out for a look.” “Aye, cap'n” The captain nodded, and walked from the pilot controls and down the middle of the bridge, giving more nods of approval to the other personnel as he passed them. For such a rustic machine the bridge was surprisingly well kept. Hardly a spot of rust on the blue painted walls, and the large flat windows lining the front and sides of the bridge were only slightly streaked. Rows of consoles and devices of varying complication covered in blinking lights flanked each side of the bridge, each panel with their own serviceman punching buttons and flipping switches. As the captain reached the stairwell at the back of the bridge he pulled a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket, and patted them against his hand while descending the steps, and into a dark hallway leading to a rounded square shaped access door surrounded in red and white caution stripes. A single flickering light bulb stuck out over the top of the door barely lit anything. The captain gave it a glance as he approached the access door, only to shrug it off. It'll get fixed eventually. Maybe. He grabbed a wheel on the center of the door with both hands and gave it a hefty tug to the left, clutching his pack of cigs with his mouth. The locking mechanism gave a creaky crack as the bolts slid from their housing. Then with a slight tug, and with the help of the wind outside, the door gave a long moan as it swung open inward. The captain had to shield his eyes as bright yellow and orange light flooded in from the opening, turning the dim hallway into a spectacle of reflections. He stepped through the door out onto the grated catwalk twenty or so feet above the desert floor moving by below. He closed the door behind him with one hand while pulling the pack of cigs from his mouth with the other, making sure to hold on to one with his lips. While digging around in his pocket for a lighter he couldn't help but be awestruck by the view in front of him every time he took a step outside. Deep wavy dunes stretched across the landscape for as long as the eyes could see, like an ocean frozen in time. Wisps of sand slowly danced across the orange cloudless sky as the setting sun bathed the scene in a soft warm light. It was breathtaking no matter how many times a he's seen it. Surely something one could enjoy while having a smoke.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Lilyo;44184595]Who here goes to art school?[/QUOTE] I suppose I do. The class I attend to is 3D Animation and Art. It's not very good though.
[QUOTE=Lilyo;44184595]Who here goes to art school?[/QUOTE] going to a art related high school for senior year if that means anything and quick sketch stuff.. [T]http://i.imgur.com/jNFtPVR.png[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/rBdw7cB.png[/T]
[QUOTE=Lilyo;44184595]Who here goes to art school?[/QUOTE] I study at the Faculty of Design, so yes me but mostly no. I never had any formal education in art prior to college though.
[QUOTE=Lilyo;44184595]Who here goes to art school?[/QUOTE] Doing my first year in Film Animation
I'm in Computer Games (Art & Animation) It's mostly design though, which is shit, I was hoping for some Art tutorials..
I attended a crafts school foundation year for almost the full first semester before I had to quit out. I've been accepted back for this year but not sure if I'm going or not.
Ok guys I've gotten to grips with my fundamentals enough, and I want to start digital drawing. My b-day is coming up soon so I want to ask for a tablet. I don't want a massive one, or a small one. I looked around a little but I couldn't find one with it's own stand, because I thought that would be nice as i draw at an angle atm. Budget is £100 or less ($166).

[url]http://www.huion-tablet.com/product/[/url] Budget, reportedly wacom-equivalent-quality tablets. As far as I know tablets don't generally come with stands. Improvising one would be easy, otherwise buy one separate I suppose

Working with a tablet is pretty different to paper since your not looking at it.

I figure seeing the tablet under the monitor would actually kind of work to get things feeling 1:1 quicker. I used a friends monoprice and she'd improvised a stand and it felt great to use but it was like A4 sized.
You're better off disconnecting the idea of your hand being down there and your strokes being up there in my opinion idk
hello everyone. [IMG]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JAkkZVbe4z4/Ux2hFK2wU3I/AAAAAAAAAVY/GdquMr-YTG4/w402-h566-no/tentativo+di+completamento.jpg[/IMG]
monoprice and huion are good competitors to wacom imo. i've laboured this point numerous times since i've gotten my monoprice: people buy wacom not necessarily because it's good (because that's undeniable) but because it's the most well known brand. in most cases, the only brand they know. and that's terrible. why spend exorbitant amounts of money on a tablet that you can buy the equivalent of for almost a quarter of the price?
I think the biggest difference I noticed switching from a generic $20 tablet to an intuos was the latency, so I'd keep an eye out for that trait. Well, after a month's worth of weekends...

I've been messing around with colours(FOR REAL THIS TIME) and I'm pretty satisfied with my first tries. [img]http://i.imgur.com/0ADgjOD.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/talV5R5.png[/img] I should really finish them though...
