you make me wanna try to draw with color pencils.. I haven't tried I don't think.. I'm just now starting to like panting in photoshop and that's the only time I have used color.. This is very nice though.. and you did an awesome job! Hope to see more!

It's not that hard. I just suggest starting out with a reduced pallette of colors. only work with 3 or 4 colors and see how things go from there. or in other words, don't try making the colors on something look realistic the first time you try out the pencils it is a pain in the butt for anyone. using only a couple colors will force you to be more imaginative and shade more with just a single color. it allows you to get a good feel for it. Hell, try just a single color, it'd be a good exercise just to see how they lay down differently than graphite.

Gawd, Emi.

You're just a god with those pencils.

And not only that, but this... this is amazing in every sense of the word.

Gawd, if this doesn't get you into an art school, I don't know what will.

Emi-leigh In reply to Tacotits [2010-02-21 15:56:40 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks. I wanted to do something that actually showed off what I CAN do, because pretty much every thing else I've done is stylized somehow.
I'm getting back to my roots, yeah!

Thank you so, so much, though. <3
