Spike and Vicious

Artists

Artist's Comments

I drew this for a friend of mine.  It's charries from Cowboy Bebop.

I suck at colouring, and use the bucketfill tool when i colour.  I don't got a tablet, thus the reason for my lack in shading and stuff. 

One day I might actually be able to colour stuff properly, but for now it can say as it is.

I'm sorry if I haven't done your favourite charries justice, but I tried my best. 

Any tips on how to improve this are appreciated.

You know, I got a tablet recently, and it really doesn't improve your coloring skill much on a computer-it's just less jerky than a mouse. Once you get past the 'cleaning' of a scanned picture and block in the color, the hard part is over. 0 o After that it's all in skill and quality of your drawing program that matters. I would say go for it. Could never hurt. ~_^

Iiiiii donno about that. Colouring is alot easier to me cause I have a freer movement in my hand- I'm so use to pencil drawing. Using a tablet isn't a big hype on quality of drawing as it is about the ease to do it. I never bothered with digetal shading without the tablet cause I don't have the tolerance for the mouse. I donno what tablet you have, but it makes the colouring deal SO much beter. My tablet is my best investment ^^

>_< It's just me then. For some reason, I think it would have been easier to learn the basic with a mouse-because now I'm tempted to draw normally with a tablet-not taking advantage with all the features like layers,the fill tool, ect...So I dunno. I didn't know you had a tablet. >_<

I do all my colouring with the tablet [emoticon] And *some* digetal line art (when I have to. I hate digetal inking. The tablet is a godsend to me- it works like a pencil. You may have experiance with low quality ones. Yes- layers make things alot easier. If you know what colouring program you hav there are tutorials out there for basic colouring that'll make life that much more bearble. I know peopl that swear by mice NEVER going back to mice after they get tablets- everything is easier. I sometimes forget I'm using it and start surfing my computer with it like it was a normal mouse XD Then I wonder why my keyboard is so far away and go "Oh no! Using my tablet again!! XD "

It's not the tablet, it's all the darned buttons! @ @ I don't know where to begin...Infinate amount of tools, colors, possibilities...@ @ It's like kindergarten all over again, and I have the box of 96 crayons...I'm gonna stick to just coloring for a while.
