Tutorials galore

Mon Mar 19, 2007, 6:41 AM
  • Listening to: shoutcast.com (random anime musak)
  • Reading: The inside of my eyelids
  • Watching: Heroes (Vote Peter Petrelli!)
  • Playing: Devil May Cry 3 (finally!)
  • Eating: Dang I'm hungry
  • Drinking: Tea that tastes like coconut
*** EDIT : Whoops. Heads up to let you know I mispelled the link to OMU ^^;; ***

Alright, so I've decided on doing those coloring tutorials that I keep promising. There's still more to come because I haven't quite finished coloring the picture. I'll probably do an eye and hair tutorial. And then upload the finished picture.

I'll also give these tutorials to Eunice_P, who's hosting a whole bunch of tutorials at her Drunk Duck account [link] . It's a great place to get tutorials by many different people, ranging from anything from "anatomy" to "lightning" to "how to draw anime characters".

Also, kudos to Renmazuo for creating such a lovely picture to color [link] I snagged this image off of [link] in their "please color" section. But it's the most complex picture I've colored in a while (apart from my commissions and comic cover art), so I thought it'd be nice to make tutorials out of. I was actually going to just make one or two about basic coloring, but while I was at it I figured I'd throw in some stuff about how to color different elements.

The list of tutorials:
Photoshop layers basics : [link]
Coloring basics : [link]
Coloring anime faces : [link]
Coloring cloth : [link]
Coloring metal and jewels : [link]



If you have different ways of doing things, or use my tutorials as a guide to color your own pieces, I'd be delighted to hear from you! Drop me a line/comment/email and show me your stuff or disagree with me.

In other random news, I finally got to play Devil May Cry 3 (aka the game I'm so obsessed over that people actually think I own it. Ha! I don't even own a game system except the old school Nintendo. Yeah ... I need a life ;3). Anyway, it was tres cool, except for the fact the bosses are so hard to beat. But Dante is pretty to look at so who cares!


Cheers,
bluebug

Will do. I wanted to wait until I got all the tutorials finished. I'm going to post it in the omu forums too. Hopefully I can get some good critiques of the finished piece.

Just saw your stuff on OMU and thought I'd take a look around to see what else you have. Good stuff, good stuff. I'll be adding you to my watch list momentarily.

Before I do that, though, I thought I'd give you a little heads-up to let you know that you misspelled the link to OMU in your journal entry.

Later. :aww:

Thanks for letting me know about the misspelled link o_O; And thanks for the watch! Feel free to critque my stuff too, if you want ^_^ And ... doesn't your avatar character mean "beer"? XD

Not a problem. :aww:

Anyway, you're welcome. I'll be sure to give critiques when I see something that needs it. :D

hehe....Actually, the kanji character is more general than that -- in the dictionaries I have, the character means "alcohol". The avatar I use on the OMU forums isn't very noticable at such a small size, so I chose something different but with meaning. On the OMU forums there's a long standing joke about my online persona loving alcohol. Because of the way I introduced my character in the improv story and in the battle tournament I had the nickname "Sake Sponge". Although all three things disappeared when the admins reset the forums, those who have been around long enough at OMU and knew me before the reset still remember. :aww:
:icondeviantbluebug:
Heh. Yeah, you're right. It means "alchohol". There's another character that goes with it to symbolize beer, but I can't remember what it looks like. The only reason why I remember this one is because the three dots mean "water" and the other bit looks like a jug to hold alcohol in XD I didn't realize this symbol meant "alcohol" in kanji as well. It's originally a Chinese character, I believe. Which makes sense, since many Japanese characters are derived from Chinese.

There's a word 'youshu' which means Western alcohol, which could possibly be beer, but I didn't see any specific words for beer in my kanji dictionary. The only thing that really comes to mind when people refer to beer, for me anyway, is just the katakana version of the word.
