What matters is you’re here

wow!!!!! I though dat wuz a picture:3

Thanks so much! :)

*whimper*
So much perfect... my poor brain...

Thanks!

Aww thank you, that really means a lot to me! : ) Lol I kind of just look at a photograph and just go at it, no I guess I have a technique. First I sketch out every single detail in black, using the pencil tool or smallest paintbrush, then I use the fill with color tool for all the large areas. After that I move on to smaller and smaller areas getting rid of all the black sketch lines with base colors.

Getting the colors is really simple when I use a reference, if I'm not using one I use a three tone color system paying attention to where the lighting is coming from. But if I am all I do is use the color swap tool on each tiny minuscule spot from the original reference zooming in as much as possible and coloring it onto mine. Lastly I used a program called photostudio to make the colors more vibrant than the reference. I’m so glad you like the trees, did you find the hearts in them? I tend to think I still over detailed the background but oh well I always got to drive myself crazy with how much of a perfectionist I am.

Hey I'm so glad you like that idea! You should check out my other more focused picture find-> "In subconscious mind". By the way they did like it, and they've been together now for like 3 years, happiest couple I know.

shoot! i swear thats a picture! the only thing that isnt perfect -no critisizm intended- is the trees! and just by a little bit! oDo

Thank you and hey no problem I love constructive criticism, and yes I know the trees are messed up but that was on purpose to add some "hidden" hearts in them even though there are a few that are way too obvious.

wow i thought that was a picture taken at first until i saw the paint strokes. excellent job!

Thank you so much! :)

VERY nice! So cute! :)

Thanks!

Aw.. so cute ^^! I love it; you are so talented and absolutely amazing/astounding/awesome!!
xoxo :)

Aww wow thanks so much, I'm glad you like it! :)

O My God.......
This is really amazing! And look at me being stupid and thinking this was an real picture you took....
They look like a happy couple~

~FAVE~

Ahh that's okay, thanks so much for looking and for the great comment!

lol u toped me over this is great my ms paint skill can do good on skill and detailing on most of the parts but i cant make it look so real so great wokr on that o0o just wow :)

Hey thanks sooo much for another comment, but I'm sure if you keep practicing you can draw in ms paint just as good if not better than me.

i have been ms painting since it came out lol and it came out along ago

Indeed it was very, very long ago! lol

Oh my god.

I don't say this about a lot of work, but THIS, is simply amazing. I had to stare at this for a good few minutes before I could convince myself this wasn't a photograph.

Its great, it far exceeds anything I have ever compiled on MS paint, and a good portion of the things I've been able to make in Correl Painters.

This is a thumbs up and a Fave from me, keep up the EXCEPTIONAL work

Wow gosh thanks so much for such kind words, and the fav as well. :)

ARE U FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!! MS PAINT!!! I thought that was a real photo!!!! WTF!!!! That is just way to awesome!!!!

Hahaha thanks again, I'm glad you like this one too.

ur welcome^^ its really sweet and so amazing!!!

awesome!!!!!!!! :D

WoW! when it small it looks exactly like a photo! And even normal size it still look amzingly close to one! *Faves*

Thanks!! :)

Haha really? Nicely put by the way, I myself have too many idols like that. Although I don't know if you should idolize me the professional procrastinator/insane perfectionist. Anyway thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! ;)

Yep it sure is, and so very easy to use, although it can be a bit time consuming. Anyway thanks so much for the comment! :)

HOLY SHIZ. When I saw this in my friend's favorite's, I thought it was a photo! And on MS PAINT???? HOLY CRAP THATS GOOD!!!! Only 9 faves, is FAC retarded or something?? This is sooooooooo amazingly good!!!!

Hehe thanks so much, I'm glad you like it! :) But it doesn't really surprise me that much since I don't spend much time on here to leave many comments on others' work and a lot of people have flocked to deviantart and probably don't really go on here anymore.

lol I know what you mean. I flocked over there too, but got banned because of my age. <_<"" So I'm spending a year here while I wait for my 13th birthday XDDDD I'm gonna try to stay actve on here too

And your welcome :)

When I saw this from far away I thought it was a photo... Then I realized it wasn't. This is absolutely amazing!!! There's so much detail :D

Hehehe thanks! ;)

Too much detail? I think it looks superb this way! I especially
like how you decided to hide hearts and how you coloured the hair.
They look like such a happy couple~

Hey thanks for the comment, and I'm super glad you appreciate the detail and hearts! Yeah they really are the happiest couple I know.

This... might just be the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Awww WOW really thanks so very much, you're too kind! :)

That is just INSANELY amazing looking... There's so much killer detail in in, and just looking at it from a bit of a ditance, I could swear it was a photograph or something! You've even managed to make the shadows and lighting look so spot on!
You're just so freaking amazing with this kind of art!

Lmao calm down and gosh thanks, although I need to get better at doing it quicker by not getting sick of the tedious detail right away. That or not include every tiny color/detail I see zoomed in on the reference photo.

LOL sorry! It's just nice to see something so detailed. I'm sure it gets difficult to sit down and do this for extended periods of time... But that you manage to even do it at all is a feat in and of itself!

That's more than fine thanks again, so did you find all 17 hearts?

Only 12 so far...

Really try zooming in as far as possible lol

I found 'em all! :3
That never gets old...

Awesome Job! Found all but two hearts! XD

Why thanks for the great comment, fav, and especially for looking for the hearts. :)

Your brother's girlfriend is such a pretty girl! I love a couple that can smile readily! Hopefully, they smile like this without a camera in front of them!

I really thought this was a photo. I thought it was manipulated, but then I had to remind myself that this is you, and there's no way you settle for less. BEAUTIFUL details. Your details just might be your signature. ;P

*favs*

Yeah I know it makes me sick lol, but no she's really nice too and yeah of course they do smile when there's not a camera. In fact they're probably the most perfect couple I know in terms of how they get along all the time. Haha yeah I can't settle for less until the point of almost going crazy lol and yet still can find one thing wrong with this. Although it's only one thing usually it would be at least three or more. Yeah detail should be my signature, I thought for sure you too would think hearts were instead. Anyway friend sorry for blabbing on and on forever and thank you for the lovely kind words, I'm glad you like this piece too! :)

Cool.

Thanks :)

Thanks so much! ^_^

Why thank you! :)

How did you manage to make them look so happy? :)

Hahaha well when I took the reference photo they were actually that happy. I guess I just took the photo at the right time and managed to transfer that into the drawing as well. :)
