Stratadrake

hello there stratadrake,
i heard there was an opening for a writer like yourself
on fanart, so i thought i would offer my skills up.
i'm not a programmer, but i can do FAQ's and the like.

How do you get the art to look so professional, I can draw it I can just not color as professionaly? Another thing how long have you been drawing?

reading that last comment, i have to say, you make it look nothing like colored pencils, it's just amazing what your art looks like

Just one question: What do you use to color your stuff? Colored pencils? I'm not sure and can't figure it out- /\_/\ what do you use?

Yup, colored pencils all the way.

Do you use a certain type of colored pencils??

Not really. Most of my work has been in humble Crayolas. Among some of the exceptions, though:

^ Those three were done in Prismacolors.

^ Done in Sanford "Col-Erase" (drafting pencils; NEVER use drafting pencils, this absolutely murdered my paper )

^ Crayola, however I shaded the entire drawing in reverse and performed a color-inversion digitally, after scanning it. See this (URL) for more info about the process.

^ Sanford Col-Erase pencils, also shaded in reverse and inverted digitally after scanning. More info here - (URL)

Yeah- that's what I use, too- Crayolas, but I never considered inverting the picture like that! (I guess it would save a whole lot of coloring, ne?) I should try that some time- the results look really good! /\_/\ thanks for the info- I'll try it out some time.

Sweet! I use colored pencils, too- but they don't turn out nearly as well as your do. I'm saving up for a tablet though- so pretty soon I suppose I won't really have to worry about it ^^'

hello
