Twily Remade

[Lithophila 291]

Been using the tracing tool in Gimp. If you compare the avatar i have now with the one i used to trace the drawing i made in terms of hand drawing. Its clearly superior than coloring over the photos from camera pictures with a overlaying tool. I also made a few changes. Like the mouth and the little stars : 3

Although some use digital drawing boards. But this is a good way if you simply are too cheap to buy one

 

The point of the tool is that you can have fresh digital lines that you use to trace every line that you drew hand for hand. So its like you were to use a precise paint or something : 3. And then using a full paint to just color the stuff easily. Also been testing the with of coloring areas that it cannot reach so that it doesn't look too sloppy with coloring, which i experienced when coloring black on eyes and then slight white came out in some areas it didn't color etc.

 

Although still bad floppy ears. But that can be fixed with later drawings and stuff ^v^

Edit: Update, i changed the example now with the image here : 3. So you can't compare it to my old anymore sowwy.. : 3

Ooh, this is quite a cute looking drawing of Twilight you made here, in my opinion. I think you did a good job on this and the difference between this drawing and the one on your avatar is quite visible.

Well the hand drawing itself is the same. Its just a better way to more or less making it clear. Although some do have digital drawing boards so that you can draw on the PC directly. But some just are too cheap.. So this is like the best free thing you can do. Take a pic of your drawing, use trace tool in Gimp. And boom, you have digital lines to fill with paint easily, clear and simple.

 

Although it helps to practice drawing in general in terms of skills. I think this is just really helpful to people who wants it fleshed out better ^v^

Cute, cute, cute, keep up the good work.

When you using the path tool in Gimp, after you have placed the points ready stroke path, you can click on and drag the lines to form a nice smooth curve. That way you don't get those  little angles at each path point

I think i know what you mean. I am just afraid to screw up. So i just nip point them to this and that point to this point closely. But  i'll think about it : 3
