i got into drawing zeons at my house and all and i was thinking if you only had to tell me what me zeon looked like that i could draw it and have it out on the next day!

Oh, I forgot to say thankyou for liking my pics! I appreciate from your comments! ^.^

''^^ oh i like dark blues! he's awesome! mind if i draw him sometime? as a zeon of course!''

Sure you can draw him!

THANK YOU! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU EVER SO MUCH! :OO
And I must tell I'm not here too often anymore, 'cause I can't.. Happening so much IRL.

ok thanks!

After reading your current comment on mah profile, I was so happy! And since you want to know how I do my shading, here arr my tips:
And yes, I use photoshop. ^.^
1.If you know how to use the pen tool, then your in luck. Open your picture you wanna CG, make a new layer above it, and use the pen tool to make the lineart. For more info on the pen tool, use this link:
http://www.elated.com/tutorials/graphics/photoshop/paths_pen_tool/
(Also, if you want to fill/stroke your path, you can just right-click the path and select the Fill/Stroke path option)
2. Make a new layer UNDER the lineart layer and fill in the colors. an easy way of doing this is to:
Use the Wand tool and select the areas you want to be a specific color. Then, in the ''Menu Bar'' above, click the ''Select'' option, there will be other options, but use these: Modify-Expand. The expand option will pop up and will ask you how many pixels you want it to expand. I recommend expanding it by 2 pixels. Now that your selections are ready, fill in the color(one color at the time!) and fill up the empty layer under the lineart. Do that with the rest of the colors you need and yer done with the still colors! (IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not merge any layers together 'till the shading is done!!)
3. Ahh, shading. Time to use the pen tool again! The way I do it is that I DUPLICATE the color layer and lower the brightness (Image-Adjustments-Brightness/Contrast) to -40. Use the darker color layer for the colors of the shading. Make a new layer that's in between the Lineart and color layers. Then, use the pen tool to make a shapes that are in only one color (Example, if I'm shading a red and green ball, I start with one color). Then, when the shapes are ready, right-click and select the ''Fill path'' Selection. (Note, when filling path, make shure you use the ''Eyedroper'' tool (It selects colors for you) and select the color on the dark color version yow want to make shades out of (If your shading a green and red ball and the path is on the green part of the ball, use dark green))
When your done filling in that path, do the rest of the shading! (Don't worry if a part of the shaded color is in an different part of the picture you don't want it to be. That's what eraser tools are for!)
Color the rest of the shades...And i guess your done!
If this inaccurate tutorial is too confusing or to hard to understand, let me know, I'll think up of another way to show ya how it's done.
Oh, and thanks for letting me post Zeon pics as well! (And saying that my pics are well done!)Me happy!
Peace out!

OH! I have something to ask! :o
Could I please please please create another zeon? And A: Not for myself, but for my crocodile charrie.. and B: no, not as simple thing as just normal zeon.. but all new kind/type of zeon! Can I? Can I?
And yes, I can tell you what kind that would be. It would be space type zeon.. I just like the idea so much! It would look like a normal ice zeon but having 2 small ray-like circles around top of it's tail, attcking like electric zeon but not electricity, someking of lazer-thing surrounding body. Is it okay to you? If not, I can change something.. And ALL THE CREDIT goes to YOU of course. And if you say 'no', I understand.. Zeons are yours though. So.. 100th time:
Can I create that? *the puppy eyes*

thanks for letin me have a zeon i'll put up a pic of him or her as soon as i see what he or she looks like!
