I'm starting to love my pencils

Been on a real traditional art kick, lately.

Finished an art trade piece of Typhlosion and a picture of Dakarai (Both of which I need to scan and upload) and I have two more traditional pieces to go! :D

Here's a couple of ACEOs I did in the past couple of days:

Fff thank you! I tried doing my FIRST EVAR LINELESS on traditional and I'm all OMG YAY. XD

Thank you! <3 The fur...detail-ness (lol) is on a separate layer, and I faffed around with the settings of these brushes: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c297/DarkCerberus/BrushesNShit.png (Same brush, different sizes. XD)

LOL What's reverse shading? Is that adding the shading on top of your fuzzydetails? o: And gee, WOW. That fur looks just...wooooowww. Gorgeous. <3 (I spy a Beccat! 8D Also...lol @ your layer names. XDD)

And...I don't know! D: Is it something to do with my journal settings? D: I'll have a look around and see, lol. 8D;

OMG LINELESS? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? My version of lineless is *CLICK* YAY NO LINES 8D

[bladebandit]

LOL WELL I'm assuming it would be more difficult with a light coloured character. I sketchydoodled it all and then just abused my dark colours, which hid the sketch. 8D;

Haha! Obviously you want it at a small size, but I used the default 14 because it worked SO well for thick fur. XD; I think I need to add some more highlights, though. New layer tiemz! 8D;

OH that is SO COOL. And all this time I've been making new layers to add shading on top, lawl. 8D Fjakdj do you mind if I try that technique out? o: Although, I doubt I'll make it look as awesome as you do. XD;

It's all paragraph'd now, yay! 8D No idea what happened there, LOL.

What is an ACEO? They look tiny...( but awesome! )

[bladebandit]

Wtf I thought I replied to this. O_o; Gah, sorry! D:

ACEO = Art Cards, Editions and Originals. This gives a good explanation: http://www.art-cards.org/

Also, if you type ACEO into google images, you can get some really cool examples of some. :D

[bladebandit]
