Drawing Competition #3: Princess In Wonderland

Wow, Joey, nice pic!

Why, thank you, Duckboy!



Nice pic, Sarahsuke. Now all you need is to embed Toadsworth's "BLAH BLAH WAH WAH WAHWAHWAH" sound from Sunshine.

@Joey: For some reason I completely missed your pic. Awesome, I still love your sketchy style, and top-notch coloring/shading as usual.

Gracias. I used different techniques of shading this time, just to test it. I'm never happy with it though.

here is my FINISHED entery ^^

I hope you like it

Ha ha, funny stuff.

I think I have an idea now. But it has to be drawn well, and I still have stuff to learn about it looking good..

Protip: Get the image in your mind first and using a pencil, VERY VERY lightly sketch out the pic. Don't worry about making all the details and stuff, just get your anatomy and whatnot down. These days a lot of what I draw doesn't really look like anything at first, just a shape that vaguely resembles the character. Erase if something doesn't look right, when you get the sketch drawn take a good long look at it and think hmm, is there anything about this that doesn't look quite right? And if you see something that doesn't look right, change it.

Then when you're satisfied, ink it.

It helps a lot. And the more you do it, the more you WANT to do complicated poses, because it's just so funnnfdjfa

I dunno. I tend to do the same thing, only I press on the pencil harder. Everything looks dirty and smudgy until I pencil it in darker, and put the outline.

Fawful is the perfect replacement for Cheshire Cat.

*smacks forhead*

OF COURSE.

I do that sometime too. My method varies. Sometimes I don't even use a pencil, I usually only do that if the pose is really simple though.

Inking is another thing I tend to stray from now too.

I've noticed that my inking work doesn't look nearly as good as my pencil work.

Though it used to...

I've noticed that "inking" digitally (in photoshop or opencanvas) is a lot easier for me. ^_^ It's more forgiving of mistakes (what with the undo button XD) so if you mess up or aren't happy with how it's turning out you can always start over.

...but that's just me...

Hah, I'll probably be in the top 5 at best.

when is this due? *_*


i may have a couple of sweet ideas!

i could never just ink anything. unless im crapsketching. everything has to be penciled first because im an eraser junkie. ;_;


My drawings usually start off like this. This will be my entry for the contest.... when i finish it! XD

*smacks forhead*
