Description Earlier today I pretty much had a meltdown, and I apologize about that. I was really out of it, and really overreacting to things. No need to worry about me. I just heard from my friend, and he's ok. My sister... I can put her problems behind me. People (especially my mom) are going to badger her about those, and I'm not going to be one of those people. I'm going to treat her the same way I normally do, because I remember how much I hated it when I had problems of my own (I was also her age, funnily enough) and people treated me like a sicko. She doesn't need to be treated the way I was treated back then. Anyway, I don't want to leave for my vacation on a depressed note, because things have already improved a lot. So.... about the drawing...


I was looking through my "old" sketchbook, and saw a drawing I did of Knuckles back in June (this year obviously)....  silvershadowultimate.deviantar…

What you see right here is actually the exact same drawing, but I erased the lines, made it more 3D, and put in the Master Emerald. Oh, and the right pole was REALLY bugging me because it seemed too close to the edge, so I extended it. When I originally drew this in June, I actually planned to put the Master Emerald there, but I lacked the skill to draw it (honestly, to me it still looks kind of meh....) and that's why it looked a little bit empty originally.

Anyway, what do you think? Is it an improvement from the original?

Wow, this looks beautiful! I love the amount of detail that went into this, and the shading is very well done! Kudos!  

On a side-note, I know this may sound like a silly question, but how do you transfer traditional art like this to your laptop/computer...? You see, I'm relatively new here, and I'd like to put out art besides the drawings I do on the Wii U! Thank you so much!

Wow, thank you!

No, it's not a silly question. It took me quite a while to figure out a good way to upload things. What I do is scan the drawing. Before scanning, make sure the resolution is set at the highest you could possibly make it (mine goes up to 600 dpi) and also make sure to save it in JPG, JPEG, or (if this is even available) PNG format. PDF looks really crappy so never use it. Scanning does erase some details unfortunately, so it helps a little bit to use Photoshop (I got Photoshop Elements Editor for free, so maybe you can too) to bring down the brightness levels and bring up the contrast. Sometimes the colours get too saturated as well so it's handy to have Photoshop, so you can adjust the photo to make it look more like the original.

Just ask me if there's something you don't understand or if I gave the wrong answer

No problem! 

And thank you so much! I'll keep everything you typed in mind when I get around to drawing again (going through some artists block at the moment...really annoying stuff! ). Once again, thank you!

Thanks, I prefer it this way too! I love doing the 3D style! Somehow, I find it easier to do than the 2D style

Rougher than the rest of them, tougher than leather. You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle

Almost, sis, but you forgot some things! It's like this: "Here I come, rougher than the rest of them, the best of them, tougher than leather. You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle. I'd rather flex my muscles"
