Description Finiiiiiished
I began that before my exams (1 week ago) an I finished this yesterday. I got the idea at school, it was just a sketch... but I wanted to draw a CG
At first, the colouration was... erm, very crappy, green tones... I don't know how it turned to this

I don't know why I make this kind of drawing, like Tea time, it's a little gothic, with a strange atmosphere (and checkered floors ). It's not like I'm in a strange mood...

I hope you'll like this

I thought you should know that someone has stolen this and posted it on their own account

[link]

They even edited your signature to sort of match their username!

Merci beaucoup ! Contente qu'on aime quand même l'éclair, même si un ami m'avait reproché que c'était physiquement impossible qu'il soit aussi étendu

I like the checkered floors, it reminds me of Soul Eater and the "Black Room", except there it's red and black... Exceptionally good work withe the color and everything, it looks so realistic.

Ah... I only read the first chapter of Soul Eater... I don't even remember the story ^^"
But it seems that there're loads of fan of Maya (Is it how she's called ? The girl with the scythe)

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it >3<

FluiKitties In reply to Kai-Yan [2011-05-27 14:19:24 +0000 UTC]

Well it's a pretty good story so far... (her name's Maka btw ) And the Scythe turns into a human boy named Soul Eater...

yeah I did like it a lot, I just love how people here on DA are so talented with colour...I must learn from you how you all do such things

Kai-Yan In reply to FluiKitties [2011-05-27 15:18:47 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah... Maka... Almost it
Oooh yeaaah, I've seen fanarts... I've completely forgotten that Soul Eater was the scythe O_O
I remember it was so painful to finish the first chapter... Forgot what was the problem though...

Actually, it's been a long time since I drew a real artwork... My last drawings are all cel-shading or in easy colouring style ^^"

FluiKitties In reply to Kai-Yan [2011-05-27 15:39:08 +0000 UTC]

Really? Maybe it was the art or something of that nature.
I saw your profile, and your gallery~ it's so awesome! How can you have an easy coloring style I wonder? You speak French, that is an amazing thing! (I used to when I was little but miraculously lost the ability) But I have one question....how do you usually start coloring? And, is copic sketch easy to use?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kai-Yan In reply to FluiKitties [2011-05-27 17:20:43 +0000 UTC]

Well probably, because I don't really like the art in Soul Eater...

Haha, it isn't something amazing as French is one of my mother language
But I think French is a difficult language, with all thoses tenses, and the spelling is quite difficult... How did you learn it ? =3

Thanks
If you're asking for CG drawing... It depends... When I want to draw something with an atmosphere, I begin with one layer where I just search for the right colors...
Just uploaded it to show you : [link]
(Well... The floor and the light are on different layers)
But when it's only a simple drawing, like a cel-shading, I just begin directly with flat colors of each part (skin, hair, top, skirt,...) on different layers...
And I usually begin with the skin, the hair, and then the eyes ?
Dunno if it can help you =/

And about the Copics Sketch... they're really easy to use !
Seriously. You just have to be quick (to blend the colors before it dry...)
But their also DAMN EXPENSIVE !
Drawing on computer costs nothing, except the price of a tablet, so I prefer my computer when I have to draw backgrounds...

FluiKitties In reply to Kai-Yan [2011-05-27 17:37:20 +0000 UTC]

Eh, the art got better as the series progressed in the manga. But the show really is my favorite... except for the last episode (gets extremely angry)

Ah, I see~ So you just layer everything...

(My parents spoke it a lot, so I picked it up, but then I lost it as they progressively stopped speaking it so much)

Kai-Yan In reply to FluiKitties [2011-05-27 18:07:06 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I think it was my cousin who says he also prefered the anime...

Yep, depends on the drawing, but sometimes, I go up to 60+ layers... And I know people who draw with +100 layers (But then, it's one of those freaking drawings with loads of details). Actually, there's nothing special in my way of colouring

(Oh, it's a pity, it should be great to speak fluently english and frecnh )

FluiKitties In reply to Kai-Yan [2011-05-27 18:48:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah....I think that might work...
But still, i love Sai so much now! [link] I just made this using it and I'm pretty proud of myself. >.<
The only thing is...I can't match colors too well, so the symbols are uncolored and I've no Idea how to progress...

Kai-Yan In reply to FluiKitties [2011-05-27 18:55:27 +0000 UTC]

Aaaah, I love using Sai too

This drawing is cute ^^
Take care, because the left hand of the boy looks like a right hand.
Don't forget to draw the shadow on their clothes, and it's kind of strange because the hair of the boy have cel-shading shadow, but for the girl, it's quite blurry.
If you're not sure for the color, you can try to change the Hue/Saturation... Maybe you'll find something interesting.

I think you should work more on the shading, but I think they're really cute together =3

Wow, this picture is simply amazing.
The angle and the perspective are really interesting and her facial expression is so intense.
And the way you colored it is pretty awesome, the shades you made look very realistic.
Beautiful!
