I personally like lucine and melissa more... I don't know exactly why the 2 of them, since they're kinda like opposites... lucine is a very good girl while melissa is a prime example of a spoiled brat... though I like to draw lucine more because she is easier... melissa's hair is just too hard... if I mess up it looks like a plastic helmet lol

though Mortis (the character, not me) loves all of them equally X3

Hey guys.
Some impressive work here.

I would like to ask for advice, since I've started to paint not too long ago. I've bought a Intuos, and have some problems when definig forms and so, since everything I try to draw.. ends up to be too sketchy, due to its looks. So that's it, I would like to have some tips with detailing and so, for example.. when I try to connect two curves, making short traces, they won't fit perfectly, and when I try to erase some of the extra trace, I end up messing it up a lot more.

I would also like to have some advices on how to color properly, if you have any handy tutorial or so, it would be much appreciated.
I've tried to color on my own with no bad results, but I'm sure there are many other ways to do what I do, and easier.

Thanks in advanced, and keep up with the good work.

I dont know what programs you use, but you may wanna check this site out
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=tutorial

it got tons of tutorials and tips about lineart, coloring, shading, highlighting etc.
hope that helps a bit.

Also, the best way to learn to draw is by drawing, so dont give up, keep practising =D

yup... deviant art ftw...

keep practicing and never give up (like kinnikuman X3)

I'm actually using Photoshop, for both drawing and coloring. I've tried Illustrator for inking too, which seems to help a lot due to the automatic curves soften :P

I know about deviantart, in fact, I've been reading tons of info there, that's why I was asking for some particular tutorials you've used in your beginning or whatever, and you know are really helpful.

okay, did some research on deviantart, since im still learning myself, and found some useful stuff for photoshop.

first of all, make a sketch. u done? good.
new layer! grab the pen tool and trace every curve as accurate as you can. this takes forever, but its the best way to do it. done? finally
okay on to coloring, youll want a seperate layer for each color, so make a new layer.
go back to your lineart layer (the pen tool tracing) and grab you magic wand tool. make sure the "Add to selection" option is on, it can be found somewhere at the top. now, select the areas you all want to have the same color. got it? perfect.
Now with your selection up, go to Select > Modify > Expand and set it to 1 pixel. this will make sure you dont have ugly gaps between the lines and the colors.
Go to your color layer and use you Bucket tool to fill in the selected fields. tadaa coloring.
make additional layers for additional colors.
Now for shading, select your brush, get a dark color and go apeshit on your drawing (i still suck at this, so i wouldnt really know xD)

[chibi bloodelf]

cute

[Arthas cuddling with Frostmourne]

cute, too^^

[nightelf druid in bikini]

sexy

I know what you mean, the girl who does wowinsider.com or wow.joystiq.coms stuff, Noxy she has some pics that are straight up porn. Caught me off guard, that's for sure.

ecchi =/= porn.
and ecchi can look very good artistically, while that's definitely rare for porn.

I just read his death in The Shattering.

R.I.P. Cairne Bloodhoof.

oh yeah, guess i'll have to read it too.

and bye bye Cairne :/
you will be missed.

["why tauren can't be rogues"]

why doesn't somebody think about gnomes sapping tauren? seems a bit weird too.

Skimpy armor on Blood Elves...again.

yeah.. and high heels!

why does everybody like lucine over my other girls???

like you said, she is one of the "good girls" and she looks very cute with her biiig eyes, her shy expression, her dress and her doll. but she's undead and the doll has a slightly creepy - in a positive way! - story too (if i remember correctly), which makes her interesting and unique.

although i also like Leara for example, just not the "mean" girls (they are all great in your drawings nonetheless).

Tho that's a gimp tutorial but I suppose it works for PS aswell.


TL;DW (Too long, didn't watch) Duplicate your layer about 5 times, change stuff in the other ones step by step, and go to the animation filter (dunno where it is in PS).

hey i watched that vid and thought it was prry cool so i made
+ an icc trash pull=
now do u understand?
my new sig i think its pretty cool but ide like some opinions too every1 always asks me wtf my name means, i always thought it was clever, but heres the explanation for the simpler ones

[Millhi]

not saw my text under my sig yet dalls?

[Eldrea]

totempulls, that sig is waaaaay too big and the "animation" kinda gives me a headache, sorry

[Millhi]

[Totempulls]

totempulls, that sig is waaaaay too big and the "animation" kinda gives me a headache, sorry

is this 1 any better? i took out the image didnt care much for it anyway, i dont care about the headache thing, i think its just so much awesome to take in over the course of so little time, but it was done in 3 2 minutes

[Millhi]

I feel honored.

hehe

Yes, I didn't mean to say that, I just meant that some people do draw eechi and even porn of wow races/characters.. But the line between the two is getting closer, some anime labeled as ecchi, is probably as close as you can get without crossing the line into porn.

That's a-freaking-mazing..

Was listening to http://www.yourepeat.com/watch/?v=lP...eature=related as I drew this

I think you like leara cause she's a draenei X3

about "mean" girls, I think you may have misunderstood some of them...

melissa isn't mean... well... she's mean to her father, but she's pretty nice with other people... though she's sort of mischievous... and she hates alexis...

salania isn't mean either... she's just too energetic and wants to play all the time, which can be somehow bothersome to some people... specially since she's undead and don't sleep lol

the worgen girl is also not mean... she's just energetic too... though at least she's obedient, which makes her easier to deal with...

the dryad girl just loves to have fun... playing, joking, riding with her friends on her back, whatever... she's also very kind so I'd classify her as one of the "good girls"...

the harpy girl is almost as good of a child as lucine... almost...

archimilli and the succy are the ones who are really "mean"... but they are demons so... whatever...

ecchi can have nudity... the thumb rule is: as long as there isn't splicit sex or genitalia showing, it's ecchi...

Was anyone else lost to figure out the thinking behind the Inuyasha draenei?

[Renagade Raven]

Have my manbabies.

...Would a hug suffice? /hug.

I didn't get it, but I'm not gonna say anything because I don't want people to think I'm stoopd...

What Lokann said... Ass = Donkey.

Most often it retains its original meaning in British English, because American English is known for using it as a replacement for 'arse', or backside. Originally it was meant to lessen the impact of the swearword, like 'gosh' instead of 'god' or 'darn' instead of 'damn' (or the legendary 'gosh darn it' o_O). However, over time its meaning shifted from donkey to arse.

Indeed.

Don't worry, I didn't get it either until Lokann explained it.
SO WE CAN BE STOOPD TOGETHER! D:

/pat. At least you aren't nearly as weird as Mortis =D

i want to join the stoopd people club too! :O

No! You are Austrian, and therefore are immune to stupidity. Living in a place like you live, makes you protected from Stupid in all its forms.

Hehe thanks. It seems all ive been getting is complaints about her butt being too small or that her weapon is behind her instead of infront. But i definitely love it. hopefully a banshee or frostwyrm is next

FROSTWYRM. Please ^_^

i think the majority of men (who play wow at least) think every butt is to small^^

...
I give you Theradras. Now repeat that statement.

might have been posted before but tracking 259pages of fanart is hard

I actually think that one is new, nice ^_^

I wish I was good at drawing lol

Post stuff here anyway, some of us are bad, some are good, all are given good feedback. If you want to be able to draw, having people pointing out what you have done wrong (Even if you think you did it perfectly) is the best way to learn.

Here's some I found.
Many, many brilliant pictures.

Did you do them? They are magnificent! The Wolf / Hunter one is very funny =>

the elf looks a bit weird, but the chibi'd netherdrake is adorable <3

I utterly agree! All Dragons are fantastic, and NetherDrakes are wonderful.

i'm in a tauren mood today

Good for the rest of us. As long as people don't get out of hand with tauren females...

i like playing cards, too.

Wandered through my playing cards. Would not let her be...
One of sixteen vestal virgins, who were leaving for the coast. And although my eyes were open, they might just as well been closed...

dis thread is slow today... that's boring me to death T_T

come on, guys... say something to entertain me while I farm these damn librams...

Well if you are grinding stuff, I know how it can be. Timbermaw, Kurenai, Skyguard, one morning each for 3 consecutive days. Baron's mount, Hawkstrider, eventually got, whereas ZG, Kara, etc have not gotten me anything. I would suggest a good song.

Try them.
Or, if you want us to say something to keep you entertained...
You're insane.

Tauren kitten

Oh my God. So... damn... adorable ='>

Kanni going BLARGHABLARGHARAWRAWRAWR!

The wide pupils actually make sense, some cats do that just before attacking. It may be a female-only thing though, haven't seen a male cat do it yet.

Good as always Lokann! Pupils also go wider in low light... Try standing in front of a mirror with a light on. Switch the light off without taking your eyes off the mirror, you can see them expand =]

More tauren.

Tauren Tauren everywhere and not a one to kill.
Wait, what?

Am I the only one that didn't get the Futauren joke? O.o

I did not, and I am guessing I will be glad for this.

I just read his death in The Shattering.

R.I.P. Cairne Bloodhoof.

One of the few Horde leaders I never actually killed. R.I.P!

you know... there's something I'd like to know...

why does everybody like lucine over my other girls??? what does she have that the others lack?? knowing this could greatly improve my other drawings...

I don't dislike the others, but she has priest clothes, big eyes, angelic expression...

lucine is the cute undead little girl with big eyes and a long hair... she always has a doll with her...

You just answered your own question =P

have some problems when definig forms and so, since everything I try to draw.. ends up to be too sketchy, due to its looks. So that's it, I would like to have some tips with detailing and so, for example.. when I try to connect two curves, making short traces, they won't fit perfectly

I have never tried drawing on a computer, but when drawing any form, I draw many light lines and keep getting them closer to what I want it to be each time. Trying to draw one line and make it line up exactly with another, or connect without deviating from your intended design, is almost impossible, and comes more out of luck.

I was asking for some particular tutorials you've used in your beginning or whatever, and you know are really helpful.

Since I started drawing again this year, this guy http://www.youtube.com/user/markcril.../3/VhNNyoYfP0U
Has been incredibly helpful.

why doesn't somebody think about gnomes sapping tauren? seems a bit weird too.

All I would imagine is >Splat<

like you said, she is one of the "good girls" and she looks very cute with her biiig eyes, her shy expression, her dress and her doll.

Agree.

Many very good pictures, including one of a Draenei with the Corrupted Ashbringer.

Wait.
What?
A Draenei - with the Corrupted Ashbringer?
Christ no. Just... no.

Was listening to http://www.yourepeat.com/watch/?v=lP...eature=related as I drew this

You never disappoint.

Oh and to all those Tauren... females...
Is that really what happens when I leave the Thread for a day? Gah.


And 0.o
I put up a picture of a Netherdrake that was amazing but is now gone >_>
Oh Christ, I took a proper look at that Netherdrake, and after about 20 seconds I saw what was wrong with it... I thought he was leaning on a Crystal '>_<'
I mean, the first image of a Netherdrake on Google with safesearch on... I didn't bother to look at it properly ='<
I am now scarred for life, and have seen a Dragon I dislike ='[
No amount of emotes can explain my hate T_T

...lol ~Lys
