Yeah, It drove me mad, since I was used to rotate the paper, so when I tried to rotate the table, as you say, it was impossible to draw.

Oh, yeah, by the way... I have some problems when coming into detailing, since everything ends up to be too "sketchy".

What do you usually do? A few long lines, or many short-connected ones?
I say it ends up to be too sketchy, since I usually do short lines, but when I have to connect them, I can't get it done well.
On the other hand, if I draw long lines, the overall result is much better, although it's harder for me to draw these sort of lines, since I have to ctrl+alt+z a few times until the line is exactly as I want it to be >.<

i use short strokes and i zoom in, this way i get clean linework.
Most of the time however i don't work with linework much, i paint directly.
If i were to make comics i would ink on paper and make quality scans.

Here is a demo video that shows a bit how i do the detailing of my paintings

I soon plan to upload 2 tutorial videos that will show the complete process of drawing and coloring a character in a comic style, with line-work, cell style shading and all.

Yeah, short strokes and zooming in. That's what I try to do, just I can't get good results out of it.

I'll upload now a W.I.P. I got around here.

PS: Also I have to say that I haven't been drawing that much, indeed, I started directly with digital painting, so yeah, I have no skills yet >.<

>>THIS<< is what I'm currently working on.
I just "discovered" how to blend colors, so I put it into practice.

Any comments are welcome, but don't be too harsh, lol

PS: I uploaded it with the resolution I'm currently working.
What are you guys used to? Is it too low? Is it too high?

Oh yeah, I also suck at trying to apply a texture to something (as in the boots, the shirt), as well as doing the clothes folding and so on. Any tip?

what a truely humbling thread!

I love to draw, and I am slowly getting better with the digital styles and techniques, even though I always have to start with pencil/paper first. As good as I thought i was getting, I am a huge amateur compared to the people I see here! Very impressive overall, and i hope this thread stays around.

I just recently made a deviantart (and will deffinitely track down all the people here) so here's my small "gallery" (slowly updating!) to anyone whos keen to check it out. A few FFXIV pieces in there, and lots to come in the future.

http://shjcules.deviantart.com/gallery/

and now, my humble feedback! because it is all so good and I need to voice it or I will surely explode

@Randis, you are my new art hero. I love your works, and will definitely be subscribing to your tutorial vids, very cool stuff to watch , and can learn a lot. I especially like you FF themed pieces
@Lunae, some great traditional pieces! I am especially fond of the wishing well, that is magic at work. I am such crap at watercolor, that i respect it even more
@VigioX, those are some cute pieces, very clean and great colors!
@quantumsaint, I love the KWEW chocobo, it's like he's asking a question haha, much love for Vivi as well
@Azureos, I always love to see your stuff! so cleanly done, great posing and perfect perspectives
@Amalthea, I love your style and figure drawing skills. The coloring is some of the best traditional style I've seen! and I agree this thread makes me want to take some art classes lol sooo far to go
@Sigiria, you are too good. The first CG mithra is so intense, it is hard to look at, almost like she is looking back. The sketchy comics are great, even though I cannot understand them lol I just make up the dialogue.
and whoever perfect chaos is, I am now going to DA stalk him. Love those comics! his lalafell drawing skills are second to none!

sorry for the super long post, there was just too much great works here, and I hope it will continue to grow. Never knew I was playing this game with such talented and sexy people.

If you care, please watch those FF14 videos I made!
I hope you will be able to enjoy watch my videos!!

I'm loving this thread. There's so much great artwork, and those are amazing videos Pokkuri. Even with the language barrier, I still laughed hard at a lot of the moments.

@ n0cks
Looking good!
As for the resolution, it is always best to work in print resolution, i usually always have my images 20 inch high or wide at 300 DPI.
I would not rely on textures, blending textures usually always look flat.
If you want to have some texture effects its best to work with custom brushes.
Everyone works differently, painting a lot you will find your own routine and style,
it is just a matter of practice

@ PokkuriDynamic
Hahaha, those Videos are very fun! I liked em!
Cool idea!

i made a fun video too but its not about FF

Thanks!

Yeah.. I usually wonder around deviantart looking for some stuff to get.
I got no custom brushes yet. Would you recommend anyone in particular?
