And I just wanted to know what were Your thoughts on it. I know it is a little rough, but I'll explain that: I've been using a graphic tablet lately, doing some experiments (being the cover one of them) , so that is why it looks like crap.. If it does! Thanks! AND COMMENT!!!! Please... _________________ -[ ]- Your so sad, maybe you should buy a Happy Meal -[]-

I absolutely positively LOVE it more than any other present ever. But yes, the learning curve was a steep one. Going from soft pencil to using a tablet, and learning to look at the SCREEN and not your hand while drawing were hard, but well worth the practice. What kind of tablet are you using? _________________ My City of Heroes Fan Ficiton pages: http://coh.iswiz.com The Action Zone - a City of Heroes/Villains screenshot gallery: http://coh.iswiz.com/gallery/index.php Send your favorite screenshot as an E-card!

You should post some of your pics, I'd love to take a look at them! _________________ -[ ]- Your so sad, maybe you should buy a Happy Meal -[]-

I am using the Graphire (not the 'professional' artist level Wacom, but it works for me).

It is one of those things that can only be overcome with practice. After years are watching your hand while it draws, it is very foreign to learn to watch the screen instead. But after a while it almost becomes second nature. (edit) Oh, and layers really help. Once I learned how to use layers it made a huge difference in my work.

(I haven't drawn any of the villains yet, lol). I have a little free time today, so I am going to try to update the files that I have made more progress on. _________________ My City of Heroes Fan Ficiton pages: http://coh.iswiz.com The Action Zone - a City of Heroes/Villains screenshot gallery: http://coh.iswiz.com/gallery/index.php Send your favorite screenshot as an E-card!

He does some very nice step-by-step walk throughs. He also has links to his girlfiend's (also an artist) tutorials. I learned a lot from his site. Of course, I don't have anywhere near the talent he has, but his techniques have made what I can do look a lot better. _________________ My City of Heroes Fan Ficiton pages: http://coh.iswiz.com The Action Zone - a City of Heroes/Villains screenshot gallery: http://coh.iswiz.com/gallery/index.php Send your favorite screenshot as an E-card!
