Artist's Comments

Here's the finished result from one of the sketches I did of Kirara I did a while back. I know the eyes look bad, but I like how everything else came out. The shading is esp. good for me. :)

Enjoy. Please leave some feedback. I could use some help on doing eyes. ;)

Kirara (c) to Rumiko Takahashi-- finally looked it up. ;)

There's no pleasing you, is there? :D I guess you just don't like other styles used for Kirara.... or me doing crazy editting experiments on her. ;)

And actually I didn't even smudge her markings this time around-- I used the 'fur' brush and soften tool on them. But same thing I guess. :hmm: But personally I like the way it came out-- it looks more natural. Not that there's anything wrong with the way she's drawn in the cartoon of course. ;)

I know the eyes need help, but the best way to learn is to mess up and learn from those mistakes. And maybe try out suggestions from others. ;) And hopefully you get better as you practice.

I'm not experienced enough (or good) with dodge and burn tools yet, so I don't use them too often. You can't expect me to use them for large details if I'm not comfortable with them. I can't get anything to look right with them yet to be honest, so I try doing little things with them first.

I'm not as experienced with editting as you are, so my attempts are not always going to look great. I'm going to keep trying though and maybe one day I'll be good. :)

Thanks for the comments. And please show me your image of Kirara when you're done with it. I would like to see how other people would draw her. :)

lol if you ever need help with photoshop just let me know.....lol and im just jokin around with you. she looks fine..... the eyes just didnt quite fit the pic...... but really dodge n burn tool are easy to work.... it took me a while to figure out what the hell i was doin.... no one helped me. i had to learn on my own. i always have. even with they way i draw. no one helps me with stuff. i learn by correcting or redrawing pics i didnt like the result of it. Once you figure out stuff it's not all that hard. I'm really just more of a pro with computers in general. I'm going to college for graphic arts and digital stuff. Soz im planning to be a digital artitst/animator. I'm keen on detals and im nit picky if the character dun look similar or like the original.... meaning marking wise.
