The pencil sketch is essential to me. I make a clean sketch (no extra lines visible) simply because I absolutely hate inking with a pen. My hand shakes at the most crucial areas and there's no easy way to correct that. That's why I basically stopped inking with a pen and do it with a colored pencil instead. I might have to go over the lines a few times, but pencil is so much easier to control than a pen. Usually I darken the lines in the process of coloring, so it's not really time wasted. Picking colors and making swatches in advance is a given, who would want to mess up a picture by applying the wrong color, even if it doesn't look liked it in theory. Nice little tutorial for the beginners, I'm sure people will find it useful. 😊

READ ME. So hi. I saw the fur lines tutorial and it help me be a lot. In the tutorial you also talked about different textures, scales, feathers, hair. I would really appreciate it if you could maybe do a tutorial on them too. If you want to get that all done in one video I recommend using the basilisk from Greek mythology. Look up images and you’ll see. Love you sooo much!!❤️❤️


Please like so she can see! 😊

Thank you this is what i have trouble with

[pxacefxldxe]

Sometimes in step one, where you said fix the proportions and things, sometimes I can’t fix it. I try time and time again re drawing it around 27 times literally! And finally give up to the point where the next one I draw that looks ok will be how I keep it. But I’m a pretty good artist for a 11 year old! And you have helped me a bit with my art journey as Well!

[amandamcknight]

Lol my son heard you say bye.... And thus he also responded with bye lol thought that was cute (he's almost 2yrs come August lol).... I also do the sketch then ink, but I usually print out the inked version to color in case I mess up in the coloring process or if I accidentally pressed to firmly with my pencil... I don't like having etching lines lol

What’s your favorite Disney song?
Edit: she kind of reminds me of Katherine from the Guardians of Childhood series. She’s not exactly Katherine, but close enough!

I have a very hard time knowing when I've put in too much detail. Any tips on when to put a line and when to not? I hope that makes any sense.

[shazebrothers]

It looks great, heh nice breakdown. ^_^ I like doing pencil sketches too and inking but often get too scared to color it in ^_^; heh especially with Markers! I don't know why the coloring is scarier then the inking for me.
