Description

One of my my previous images ("My Technique") raised a IM discussion about some details. I did this image to illustrate some points. As I said earlier, I have a lot to learn, these discussion are learning source for me. Answers to some topics: About question, what is "flats" phase: third image. Just flat color, no shading yet. About why my final looks worse than some previous phase -- god, I wish I knew, probably it's just that I suck in coloring... >;D . I am willing to learn, if someone has generic level tips... :) About using pricey apps -- here only ones which I paid something for are Paint Shop Pro 7 (PSP is less than $80) and scanner (mine's poor one, about $50). I *used* Deneba Canvas 7, but that comes free with Computer Arts 2004 March issue (hint, hint)! ;) I *have* huge amount of software, but for just a show, I even did the vector part with mouse... (I'm quite used to tablet now... But I didn't use it now!) Actually it was quite OK. Hey, if anyone is still interested, let's discuss on 2D Forum?

My dear Markku, I don't understand why u still think that u suck at coloring!! Of course, am far from being an expert on the topic, not even a beginner actually, but I've got eyes like everyone else and what I see pleases my eyes! And, to me, the final drawing is just fantastic and I don't see anythin wrong with it at all! Maybe u're doing ur head in too much my dear Markku!? ;P hehe! Love to see ur different steps to get there too... :)
