PS CS4, window 7.

graphire 4. also 4 year old i think. my stylus already got crack...thinking to change to intuos 4 instead of replace nibs

Oh. If your graphire is already 4, then mine is more than four already. Lol. I bought it quite new lol. Anyway, intuos is expensive. I'd rather get an A4 size graphire than a small intuos. The extra tilt function really lousy to use if it's small size. Near 2k for a tablet. O_o. I wonder if i'm willing. I love drawing, but not that much. Lol. I'm more of a doodler than an artist.

My tip for making quick background is usually a camera, then painting over it. Lol.

replacement pen if not mistaken is RM150++
nibs i think got people...try garage sales...i sure got 1 thread got sell....

anyway Graphire 4 already stop production.

Pic:


mine is A5 size. that time bought for RM 530.

my tablet status: (18 SG)

Lol. Looks as bad as mine. But if it works no complains right? Thanks for the tips about nibs. I really need to replace my tablet nib. Considering the age, I have never replaced it yet. Pen sensitivity set very low so no need press so hard.

We should do a collaborative work sometime when you are free.

Will finish it tomorrow. And yeah, gonna stop drawing for a while after this. Need to complete my galgame.

chara design looks good.

Not my design, it's actually revamped miku and kaito.

but you did modify them, so i consider it your design. Just based it on existing characters. In a way, I consider this true fanart, rather than those who trace or replicate the artist original work pixel by pixel/line by line.
My own style actually heavily chinese comic oriented, but i'm trying to merge it with other styles for a unique look. Haven't found one i'm happy with tho.

The truth is....

My cat drew everything!

Cats can't draw, you lied. btw if you're a fan of pencil drawing, do check out noizi ito technique.

Got picture also don't want to belief. What happened to rule no 2 in this thread?

From what I can see,
Noizi ito's technique isn't much different from other professional pencil artists. The same rules applies, which is using different pencil hardness to create depth of field.

I'll admit that her chara designs are amazing, but I don't see what's special about her technique. Mind explaining further?

i use mechanical pencil only. 2b all the way...in my deviantart all same pencil for years

I told my old art teacher that two pencils is enough, and he grunted that it's not about using what's ONLY available, but using BETTER TOOLS to make BETTER WORKS.
Frankly when I conteng2, usually I use one only. I have used more than six, but drawing fruits on a table gets old quick, and due to here being malaysia, no nudes. (>.>) it's always bunga, buah or pemandangan. Which is probably why a lot of advertising artists here cannot draw very believable characters, and even they get the body proportions wrong from time to time.

trying to get my human body proportion right. anything weird here sensei tachi?

thats all i have xD teh logo =3 i think we havent decide totally the final full design/coloring

same here also use either 0.5 or 0.7 2b mechanical pencil for my drawings ..
but of course ..I'm sucks at it >.>
need more practice ..I'm seriously getting lazy =.=;

wow. You guys like to draw using mechanical pencils eh? I prefer wooden ones though. Don't like the way mechanical pencil feels. It's just me tho.

Lol. Art is about fighting with the inner laziness. I haven't been able to stay motivated for longer than 9-10 hours to complete a picture. In a way, i'm lazy too. I'm amazed at how some professionals can spend 50 hours on one. Esp those with big lush backgrounds.
