August 15, 200619 yr advice on shading: if posable imagin the whole scene in 3d, next work out what the light source is and where it is comming from, then you should be able to see what is in shade and what is in light, oh and to keep it simple only do two or three colour shading, none of this anoying pillow stuff, that is more complex and often gives it all a very plastic feel. also, look at how light affects everyday objects, how the curves are effected, shadows etc, this will help you to see the shading in your mental 3d mode.

August 15, 200619 yr Here's a pic of my old sig. You might also want to add some depth to the tree, by adding pot holes and such. To do shadows, just copy the object that you are making the shadow for, but only make it at a slight angle on the ground. Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It. Furry! :D
August 15, 200619 yr one word: shade and another 4 from the rulebook....: "dont post first sig's" lol... but yeah, shade it looks like it took about 71 second's Oh, and by the way.

August 15, 200619 yr Looks better when you use like black lines as outline - But I am a fellow pixel noob :D
August 15, 200619 yr Looks better when you use like black lines as outline - But I am a fellow pixel noob :D actually, black lines can flaten a charachter.. so if you plan on having a good looking charachter, its better to have no black lines Sigs made by Runemetsa, Nuzza, Dark_Shadow, Kuroi and Me.liquid blobs attacking eachother American Anime...

August 16, 200619 yr my advise to beginners is keep it simple, use black outlines and two or three tone shading, dont take on anything complecated and advoid elemnts (water fire wind etc) since they are hard to draw, a simple landscape oe fight or something will be good.
