Gijinka-Shadow with a Chaos Emerald.
Practicing more on backgrounds and glows with this digital piece. (I love drawing gijinka-Shadow, but I hate that it's all black............................. lol)
Shadow the Hedgehog belongs to Sega, this human-form design is my own.
It looks really good! If it helps I always work with a dark grey rather than black. and that emerald is lovely, I must try that effect. :3
Thanks so much! hugs I feel like I should do a pic of all seven Chaos Emeralds, this one really looks good! :)
Yeah...I used to try and do it with the greys and blacks, but it's bad for my eyes! lol
Now for blacks...I do it in a random bright color (so I can erase and fix things with the lines). Then I use the paint bucket to change that color to a dark grey, so I can put the shading in with black and lighting with lighter greys. :)
Do you have a tablet? I know a couple of tricks that can make stuff easier that you might find helpful.
Try using the selection tools to define an area you want to work on, you can be a lot looser with your brush strokes without worrying about making a massive mess. Also try experimenting with opacity of the brushes, you can build up nice soft effects that way.
I can't figure out how to use the selection tool properly... laugh
Ah, but thank you so much! I am so awful at these things...I could probably learn it if someone physically showed me how to use it. I always did better in classroom settings, rather than study alone classes. :)
Ooh I wish I could, I use Krita you see so I don't know how it could work in your programme. Perhaps there is someone else with the know how who could give you a little tour of the tools? XD
I've tried once, but it would select more than I wanted. So I may not be using it properly. I kinda wish things still came with instruction manuals these days! They're not made for old timers like me! laughs
