Description Original sketch by ~Gabby-chan1994 (check it out at "Curls." ). The shading is all her's.

Colored in Photoshop.
I used a bunch of different layering properties.

What's the proper category for this?

Comments/suggestions/"do this again!"/"never do this again!" appreciated
Well, not so much the last one, but it'd be good to know your reaction.

This is beautiful. I don't draw or paint so I can't give a fair critique, if you even wanted one... I don't know. But I do know that this is amazing and I wish I was her. She's so pretty! You've done very well and should be very proud.

Well, I can't take credit for the sketch itself, though it is pretty awesome. I just added some layers to it
Thank you, though!

I was kind of going for the grainy and pencil-esque look, so hurray!
I'm glad you like it & thanks for your input ^^

Thanks! I just might if I can find the sketches and the time
Coloring = the magic of photoshop. Fun fact: four of the blues (skirt, the ruffles, and the bodice) are actually all the same color with different layering properties.

Nice! You know, if you can find kitkat's old dA account, she has a whole bunch of lineart up there. You might find some things.

This is absolutely stunning. I thought you used either PrismaColor Markers or Pencils; I never would have guessed Photoshop. Either way, it's beautiful.

Aww, you're doing a good job with (one of) my favourite drawings. :')

It's the first time someone has done something with my art so I'm kinda proud. T^T

Thank you.

Anytime! I really, really like your sketch. And her hair is fantastic. I wish I could sketch that well

Hopefully this weekend I'll have time for fun stuff and I'll try out a shaded version (it'll be less colored-pencil-looking, so it might not look as nice...)

Gabby-chan1994 In reply to bewaretheides [2010-04-27 17:37:21 +0000 UTC]

of course it will.
Just do your best and it'll turn out great.

Thanks so much !

I like it... I think you did a good job with the coloring. In fact, I thought you had done the shading(the color blends so well with it) until I read the description You actually made it look like it was done with colored pencils; which is a nice touch, because it means you kept the integrity of the original pencil strokes.

bewaretheides In reply to WillowOaken [2010-04-21 23:37:40 +0000 UTC]

ahh, I wish I could take credit for that, but it's all from the magic of Photoshop. The different layer blending options make a bunch of different things happen (I'll probably put up a couple "versions" in scraps later, maybe, showing off some of it's magic. Or combine some into the same picture. I don't know yet.)

WillowOaken In reply to bewaretheides [2010-04-22 00:17:16 +0000 UTC]

Well that's part of the skill of a person doing digital art, is how they use the options I know someone who can make professional textures for 3D models, and when I tell him how amazing it is, he gives all the credit to photoshop xP But it takes knowledge and skill to be able to know when and how to use them.

I thought you did photography more...? or at least that's what intially caught my eye.

Nice work on the coloring!

bewaretheides In reply to Kajm [2010-04-20 22:26:35 +0000 UTC]

Short answer: I do!
Long answer: I do! I'd consider myself a photographer over digital artist/etc, but I've been having some issues with my camera / my computer recognizing my camera.

I have lots of older photos already on my computer, so I'll be putting up more photos soon(ish), I just have to go through and decide which ones are worth it / good enough.

And I really like coloring (in Photoshop and in real life), I just don't know if it's good enough. Good enough for what, I don't know.
So this is a really long response, but I think I've run out of things to say

And thank you!
