RubidiumHawk

how are you doing?

Lol, I'm not really sure who my fav Project HAWK character would be...I like them all based on what I know of them...probably to answer that question, I'd need too see them in the manga or something...just so I know how they usually act/speak, relate to others etc. I'll tell ya my fav character when I figure it out ok...well, I'll speak to ya later alright!! Toodles ^_^

:) school was surprisingly fun today , we spent the most time on the laptops , and the rest of the time we had GQC which is good because the teacher's really funny ...

Hey, thankyou for the comments!! I'm so glad you liked that Mercury and Rubidium pic. It took me a while to get it right and colored lol. Thanks for liking it though ^_^ If you ever want any tips for Photoshop, I'll see if I can help out. I recently sent a few tutorial links to another artist seeing she's begun using photoshop too. I kinda go on tutorial raiding sprees over the internet...but yeah, just say if you want any tips or anything ok. Well, I hope everything's going great for ya!! Take care, and I'll see ya later ok ^.O

yep, I already tried coloring in one of my pics , can't post it here because of computer >.>

neway, hope your having fun in colledge :)

thanx, :) I finally got a new keyboard so now I'm working on improving my colouring in photoshop , I'm not very good at it, but hey ! practice makes perfect....or so they say *shifty eyes*

Hey ya, I've finished Mercury and Rubidium at last...I'm so worn out lol. All I've really been doing all afternoon is coloring stuff -_-' Ah well....I put up a picture of Hartinae before too. It's not a color pic though, but I do have lineart ready for a color pic. It'll have to wait till next weekend though, seeing I've run outta time...again...just thought I'd tell ya in case you still wanted to draw him ^_^ I hope you have another fun day at college tomorrow!! Well, I'd best be off...it's already 1am and I have to get up early tomorrow morning *shudders* I dislike early mornings lol. See ya, and take care alright!! ^_O

All right, just a few things I noticed from your most recent pictures right off.

-It looks like you're using the "dodge" and "burn" tools when you color things. It's not ultra obvious (it's subtle enough that I'm not completely sure if you are, and usually it's easy to spot). If you are, though, stop. Especially the burn tool - it makes your colors seem dull and "ashy". Instead, go to the color wheel and select a new color (and set it on a low opacity, so you can layer it and blend it better), darker for the shadows and lighter for the light areas. I'll give specific examples on a few of your pictures.

-You have a nice understanding of anatomy, which makes me happy, 'cause if you naturally understand it it's a lot easier to improve. Buy/borrow/check out from the library some anatomy books and practice drawing from those. (There might be sites online that can help, too, 'cause anatomy books can be expensive.) Also, if you have anyone who will pose for you, do quick (really quick - about 5 minute) studies of them. But you've got the hard part - knowing what goes where - down pat, so that's good. And you can differentiate between the female male figure, which is something that gives people trouble, AND you can draw breasts, which is also surprisingly hard for people. :P

-You've got the makings of being a great artist - you just need practice and time. Since you seem to have a natural understanding of form, the rest will just fall into place if you work at it. I'll leave some color comments on a few of your other pics, so look for those. I hope I've helped some, and if you have any other questions, let me know!
