Vash and Wolfwood: A Team of Two

YES!

Keeps my fingers in good shape ;)

yes extremely long comments! lol. anyway great piccie! i likes the shading ^^

Why are all these comments so long!? (didn't bother to read them) Anywho, the pickie is good!

I did a quick thing in paint for perspective but it isn't letting me upload it. I'll try a few more times but I'm not sure if it'll let me. the one I made was outdoors with a bunch of buildings. I found a picture in Fanart that was inside and used perspective (it is a long hallway). It might look a little intimidating because of the detail but the perspective part isn't as hard.<br />

lol umm redunancy much? o well. <br />
<br />
haha yes the shading is much cooler that way- screw accuracy!! o and yea my scanner used to do an auto-align thing which would mess up all my pics, but i shut that off so everything scnas correctly now. i do have a rotator, but it only rotates by certain degrees- no free rotate. (i'm not very good w/ graphics programs anyway)<br />
<br />
yea backgrounds and I have never really gotten along. then again i haven't "grown up" yet (hopefully i never will!) so perhaps it'll just take some time for me to get used to the idea. <br />
<br />
no i've taken very few art classes, which were at my skool, and i've never really been taught anything of use for my own art. (we mostly drew still lifes or did blind contour drawings and quick sketches from the model). i really want to take some sort of course to teach me how to draw backgrounds tho- maybe next year. wow if you'd really draw a tutorial thing that'd be great!!! thanks so much!

Yea! It would be cool if you drew more backgrounds =) I can see why you can be a little nervous about drawing them (I was too when I was young, but then I guess when I grew up and stopped drawing for a while I kinda forgot to be afraid ;) But then again... I haven't drawn many backgrounds lately. Hm... could I still be afraid? Lol) but honestly I think you would do great with them.<br />
<br />
What I think might help you is if you concentrated on the details of it instead of the whole thing at once. That way it isn't exactly like a background, it is more like a bunch of smaller foreground pic (if that makes sense =)).<br />
<br />
Have you ever been taught about perspectives and vanishing points? Those are especially useful for drawing outdoor drawings. If you haven't been taught about them I'll draw a quick thing about them (Prolly a city street with buildings) and show you the different parts.<br />

No, Vash's hair isn't that bad, in fact if I can remember how the artist drew it it is perfect in shape. It is just missing some shading.<br />
<br />
It was rotated when you scanned it? Hm... I've gotten two scanners before and they each came with a program to modify the pictures they scan. Are you sure you can't re-rotate it with that? If you can't then I can do it for you (Well, I already did it to see how you intended the pic to look, so I can give it to you ;)).<br />
<br />
Well personally I think it looks nicer now than it would be if it had dark shading all over their fronts. That would disallow the advantage of shading (Because it would pretty much all be just solid). So the original artist drew it with some shadows in front of them because that is cooler, and both suns behind them because THAT was cooler, they just either forgot or thought it was worth it (Prolly the latter) that it wasn't correct. Which, actually even though I am a perfectionist, might even agree on ;)<br />

wow thanks everyone!<br />
<br />
heh yea i got kind of lazy when i did the backgound, so that's why the crosses are all scribbly. eck and vash's hair came out so bad, i know. but shading it more might help...<br />
<br />
i'm not sure about the shadowing thing- you're rite, that's how the original artist shaded it, also. o and this pic scanned at an angle (i have an icky scanner), so that's why there's that white spot in the corner. i did crop it, but by mistake i uploaded the uncropped pic. <br />
<br />
o and thanks! lol i should start doing backgrounds more if they're really that effective
