[img]http://img.ihack.se/images/9130703386516.jpg[/img] Tried using Opencanvas for this one, and i guess this could be a great serious first post here on the forum, so well, yeah i tought it could be some kind of "Epic thread!" image or something, i don't really know, i prioritized making this fast and somewhat crappy picture in front of studying for my last test in school. Yes - that is apollo 13 lift off.

[QUOTE=Detlef;30201203][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TozNG.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] What opacity is your brush at? It looks like it's on the high side. I love it though, it gives this great faceted look. edit: lol, I meant on the low side.

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1275475/Posts/lady.png[/img] Take two with photoshop. This time with black and white, attempting to improve shading.

[QUOTE=Kurtzund;30206719]What opacity is your brush at? It looks like it's on the high side. I love it though, it gives this great faceted look.[/QUOTE] Detlef only uses 5% opacity like the rest of the pros

[QUOTE=Detlef;30207371]oh god why the background [editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] it burns[/QUOTE] I picked it out in random so I wouldn't paint white hair on white background. And then wewt really hated the background. So naturally I decided to keep it.

MegaMan Zero bullshit I don't think I'm going to even finish [img]http://gyazo.com/a5d3fcf2662b25c96529fa3a8ca85639.png[/img]

he looks sad :( like he's about to cry

So no one looked at my other thing (except for one very funny comment) so lets see if we can't do better. I really need some direction on how to go about shading. If you could point out what I doing wrong it would be a great help. [img]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/153/a/b/shading_and_stuff_by_lfrostl-d3hw3wd.png[/img]

Also, you have shadow on the ground there, but light reflects from the shadow onto the sphere? That doesn't make sense.

That doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE] Okay so I suppose I'm gonna need to do some rffrence drawings and all that stuff. Okay lets give this a try. The shadow I don't know. I just sort of put that on last second. Felt like it looked weird with out it [editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Detlef;30209684]Please study some anatomy.[/QUOTE] Okay looking now.

[QUOTE=0frost;30209708]The shadow I don't know. I just sort of put that on last second.

Not from a shadow area that blocks out light. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/how-to-shade-pencil-drawings.jpg[/img] Light comes from the lit side of the floor. Hits the ball. Reflects over the shadow.

Okay that makes a lot of sense. I'm fixing that now.
