FartinMowler If I didnt' call MLE a stupid cunt in a different post I might accept here off handed compliment :/

MLE i like the first one, but i think it's because the camera blurred it. i don't think i'd like it otherwise.

Spectre X Of course I could also just set a new layer to multiply.

Reduce the scanned image to two colors and then turn the color depth back up again. Duplicate the background into a new layer. Select the magic want and untick the 'contigious' box. Select a white area on the new layer and delete it. You now have a background image and a separate and identical layer containing only the black lines. Now color the background using the paint bucket. Fix the white pockets and other problems by painting underneath the top (lines-only) layer.

The edges around the black lines can get kinda rough. It helps a lot f you scan the page in a higher resolution than you'll need and then resize it after you're done.

What I do is get some Rice paper, lay it over the original, trace and color. You can do it again until you have a finished colored version you like. I would love to get a roller ball and learn to color with the computer program, the mouse is impossible for me.

I have very little colouring tools.

Ninjavenom I'm glad i'm not the only one who was going to say something positive here. I really like the first tree. It's very sharp looking compared to the rest of the pictures, and it definitely deserves to be a piece of its own. :o

Helm I actually really like the second picture. I like how you made the path. The knight could be better, I guess. There's something a bit claustophobic about how you arranged that picture, which makes for a very strange 'children-oriented' picture.

FartinMowler Do crayons count?

No.

liquidstatik I like the first one.

Matt Harty I like the second one
Aug 17th, 2004 09:15 AM
Spectre X You should practice at dosage. It's really smudgy in some places which detracts for the actual image.

Otherwise, pretty neat.
Aug 17th, 2004 08:35 AM
FartinMowler Thanks for the comment's....these where taken from a pile of drawings and they came out the best when painted, so there is no clear story anymore...I tried my best to take clear photo's, so that's why it's probably hazy... it was suppose to be child like for a kids book and FS is right on the money with the pencil...I just never got around to painting it and left it. I've never done a horse, but I think the ass end it pretty good :/


Gumby was and the color green, so might have evoked an inner child emotion, so I will let that go
Aug 17th, 2004 07:13 AM
pjalne I like the colors too, and the foliage looks cool. I didn't understand the figure at the tree was a knight in the third one, but I guess the text would clarify that. Still, a little clarity could do good, and it doesn't have to be at the expence of the hazyness.

Oh, and I have to agree that the horse doesn't really fit in with the style of the rest.
Aug 17th, 2004 06:02 AM
FS The horse on the second one looks a bit too childish. That may be what you were going for, but I think it might've looked better without the black outlines.

The others, I like lots. Nice colors, very moodful. Did you draw the nails on the armor in the last one with a pencil? Cause, I personally would prefer it in paint too.

I think #3 is my favorite.

Captain Goodtimes Does anybody remember eddie murphy playing gumby in the old SNL episodes, I've seem to forgotten that.....

Supafly345 The first two are actually kinda pretty. I have always been a fan of watercolors though.
Aug 16th, 2004 04:38 PM
FartinMowler Sorry Helm... I hope you can see them now. I did these pictures as an idea for a kids book. I hope you guy's like it. I post it it in an effort to get my self motivated into painting again.
