Thank you for adding me to your watch list - I really do appreciate it! And your insight into my drawings is helpful, too.

heh. You're welcome. 'Tis not really my insight, just my brain spitting back random conversations with my friend about her rats.
Oh, and just wondering- what is DF?

Dark Future. It's an RPG that a friend of mine has been setting up. I was inspired to spit out some drawings.

Ah. Will you ever color them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perhaps. If someone wants to see something colored, usually I end up doing it eventually. Lately I've discovered the wonderful world of digital coloring, so they may be the guinea pigs of such if and when I do decide to color them.

I'll be looking forward to it, if and when you do so.
Particularly how you shade clothing folds. It's something I'd like to learn, and you do it well, I've noticed.

Oh, goodness. XD Clothing folds... those often get to be troublesome if I'm not careful. If there's a particular drawing you're referring to, I might be able to explain my method, if you'd like.

I'd like that.
Ahm, it's your 'experiment in digital coloring', specifically the pants.

That would be burn and dodge, and then smudging the heck out of it. Then repeat. For about 45 minutes. XD What it needs is an understanding of the fabric, what forces are acting upon it, and the nature of the reflectability (I'm pretty sure that's not a word) of the fabric. Near the knees, the fabric sags a bit, so there are creases that end up in shadow from the light source. That causes crests in other areas, causing them to lighten. For, say, cotton, that would be less noticable. With leather, it would be more. The severity of either end of the spectrum depends on how much the fabric sticks out and the kind of fabric it is.
... did that help at all?

Some, but...45 minutes. Wow.
I guess that would be the 'time seasons things and makes them better', right?
More practicing is in order, then.
Wouldn't dodge be a bit harsh on black fabric though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
45 might be an exaggeration, because I didn't keep entire track. And I'm doing this slowly and with many errors. ^_))); It was also my first serious attempt at doing so.
It would, normally. I had it at 5-10% opacity, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, okay- now it makes sense.
...is that a rat you keep posting?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll take that as a 'yes', though normally perhaps is taken as 'no' XD

HI! I totally didn't know who commented on my photo... and I was confuzzled. But 'twas you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Course it was. Who else would it be?

I've got one that I'm working on- I think I'll do double-time just for you.
