Flash Fire 386 February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 (edited) Got myself a drawing program finally. I sat down and worked on this for a few hours. I know it's not perfect yet, but I lost the patience to finish working out the bugs. I based the.......er......base off of Rainbow Dash when she poses in front of the Rainbow Dash banner Pinkie made for her Birth-a-vesary. What do you guys think?

knight 24 February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 The pixels usually come from doing recolors, which is kind of what this looks like. Reduce use of the bucket tool and rely more on your own skills. In any drawing program there should be a 'magic wand' tool for auto selection. Use this to select areas you'd like to color--rather than just bucketing them--then, once selected with the wand, there should be an option in the menu somewhere to 'increase selection'--do this by one or two pixels, at least. Then fill in the area on a separate layer underneath the outline. Did I go too far?? Too much??It's a great start! 1 ♦My DeviantArt♦ ♥My Art Thread♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knight 24 February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 Yeah, it's a great improvement! Though, the lines now look a little wiggly..? Not sure what happened. Did you mouse-draw them? The selection idea I gave should work for lines, too, just so you know. Also, download .SAI! It's a great program and you can find it everywhere for free. Not sure if it will work on a tablet, though... ♦My DeviantArt♦ ♥My Art Thread♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knight 24 February 26, 2014 Share February 26, 2014 Can you connect a graphire tablet to a tablet PC? That might be a thought. Or maybe, instead of using pony blanks to recolour, try recolouring some bases.
