Description
... if you can.
Just a digital practice piece, trying some of the brushes and blends in Autodesk SketchBook. I still cannot draw hands to save my life, ugh.

It's a specific brush, set on a low opacity (and probably like two or three layers, 'cuz I go layer crazy xD).

What programme do you use?
π: 0 β©: 1
Autodesk SketchBook Pro.

Ah. I've never heard of that one, actually? How good is it?

Yeah, SketchBook isn't as popular as PS or SAI, but I really like it. It just feels natural, and comes with some cool painterly style brushes and features. There's also a 'flipbook animation' tool, so if I ever felt brave enough to animate something again I can. The only downside is because it isn't as well used, there's no additional brushes or anything to install (the company makes them to give away on their blog, but only for the latest version, and mine is outdated). And there doesn't seem to be a binary function, so I can't pixel or make great graphics either. Other than that I love it!

That sounds cool! Is it expensive?
Pixel art? Ah...is there an anti-aliasing feature you can turn off? Or is that the same thing as binary and I'm a scrub--

When I bought it a couple years back it wasn't that much more expensive than a new edition Photoshop. The product has changed since I got it, though, now being a yearly service subscription instead of a single-purchase program. But they do offer a free trial too, which is how I first got to know it (came with my tablet).
Oh gosh, this'll show what a neophyte I am but, I'm not too sure how to figure out the anti-aliasing thingy? 
π: 0 β©: 1
Literally the only thing I know about anti-aliasing is that if it's on, lines look smoother, and if it's off, they look sharper:
I used to have it off so I wouldn't have gaps between the colour and the lineart, but that was because I was a scrub and hadn't yet figured out the 'expand' function on the fill tool.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ohhhh, is that what it does?
You know, I didn't even know there was an expand function on the bucket/fill tool. Honestly, I'm totally lame and manually color in my line art. It takes forever but it's just how I've gotten used to doing digital 'cuz I'm too stupid for computers sometimes eheh.
π: 0 β©: 1
So far as I know, yeah. XD No idea what they mean by 'aliasing' but that's what it looks like.
Well, there is in FireAlpaca at least. I don't know about other digital art programmes because I've never really used anything else besides MS Paint. If it's not though, it really should be. XD Since I hard-cell shade, I use the fill tool and then do touch-ups by hand. You do more advanced detailing than I do so colouring by hand makes sense.
*snort* I know that feel lmfao

Gosh you draw hawt men sis!
mmmm I think Eduardito is to awesome to be catched! *feeling like a rock star*
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!! I'm really happy you think I manage to draw some good-looking fellas, since I prefer drawing fellas. And it's just always better if they're hawt!
Oh, that is for sure, the lil' brooding badboy. I would totally chase him down. XD

His expression is awesome and the surrounding glow makes him look like a super star 
Bad-ass Eduardo jr!

Haha, I don't think Ed would want to be a superstar. XD But thank you! I'll take the compliment on his behalf.

He's the rebel who doesn't like the attention but gets everyone fangirling because he's just so baaaaddd he just can't escape the limelight! *super announcer voice* XD

It's a natural talent he has. XDΒ

This is so cool!! I love the overall look of this piece, him with the effects and the background color you chose!! I think it all works very well. Hands are difficult to draw, but i think you're coming along in that department! Just keep working at it 
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you for the encouragement, my friend! There's actually no background (it's his teleportation powers fading); I've been cheating in that department ever since I figured out how to make a drawing on a transparent layer. My bad, haha. But I truly appreciate your support. You're so kind.

You're welcome 
Anytime!! You're doing great!

Nice brush work. Those textures look fantastic!

Thank you, sweetpea! I'm really fascinated by the different brushes in Sketchbook, and the smudge ones work so much more effortlessly and realistically than my old Photoshop. It was a lot of fun once I learned where all the settings (and there were quite a few of them) were.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sketchbook won't run on my computer, apparently it doesn't like Windows 7. (Which was on it when I got it...)Β Well, I suppose it sort of runs, but it's laggy as all hell and won't let me sign up for the brushes and stuff. I haven't tried it with the tablet though. I suppose I should. (I've just been informed that there is a full version on the Mac that I could try if I wanted to. Good to know. It's got CS6 and the full Adobe Design Suite on it too. The things people throw away! Maybe after we move... Again.

You know, I did have problems getting my digital pen to function properly in Sketchbook; it would lag from tablet to screen, and nothing I tried worked. While researching the problem, I did see a lot of people had not only my same issue, but yours as well. Mine was fixed by going into General Preferences and un-ticking the box under Graphics that says Enable Rotate Canvas. I guess that means I can't rotate anything to work on it, but I haven't tried yet. Maybe that might help you?
I also haven't tried looking for different brushes yet. For one, I'm lazy, but for another, I seem to do okay with just the handful of basics. And Sketchbook is a lot newer than my ancient, fuddy-duddy PS so it has many more basics than I'm used to! It's awesome, actually. XD But yeah, I'm the same way; having to fiddle with so many various settings (flow, opacity on different pressures, size, etc.) is kinda frustrating.
Wait, what? You're moving again?! What happened?!Β Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll have to give the Sketchbook thing another try, but I found this too, so that may also be the problem. I know I should fix it right now, but, packing. It sucks and I can't be bothered doing any damn thing. I might give the Mac a try once we've moved.
As for the moving... Well, our rather charming twat of a landlord has given us an illegal eviction notice, and rather than fight it, (which we could, very easily, and win) we thought we'd move and then fight the bastard. He's been hanging around and threatening to take our stuff... He only wanted us to move in and fix all his broken shit for nothing, you know, typical landlord shit. He employed a property manager to do his dirty work, but the property manager took one look at the situation and is on our side. I don't think he'll be managing the property for long though. He told the landlord that 'You are the property owner and I am the landlord!'

D'ahh, the query must have gotten archived (or the erased) because the link didn't work for me. I'm currently having problems with my Sketchbook again. I thought it was my tablet, but that works fine in PS. It keeps freezing, to the point every couple minutes I need to close the entire program. It's so frustrating, having to stop/start on a drawing. I color primarily in PS, but I need Sketchbook to draw/ink so it's like I'm getting nowhere. Hopefully it decides to start working again, because nothing I try fixes it...
Β Any luck with the Mac or Sketchbook, now that you're moved?
What the what?! An eviction notice! Your last landlord was indeed an ass. I'm so glad you're outta there, but are you still going to fight the eviction? Good luck to you guys with that. Well, somebody sure needs to put that man in his place.

I think the link was to something about Sketchbook having a problem with Wacom drivers, but I honestly can't remember now. It might explain why you're having problems with your tablet, but I did a search for it on the Sketchbook help page and it came back with nothing. 
Yes... Our old landlord was indeed a Prince among men.

REALLY nice shading on his hair and, as always, his eyebrows are awesome!Β Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, thank you kindly! I'm excited you noticed the hair highlights because that's where I discovered the amazing smudge brushes in Sketchbook. I'm glad they worked out; they were super-fun once I figured out all the various settings. XD OMG YES! I love Eduardo's el Diablo eyebrows, too. Every time I draw him I think of him as a little Dave Navarro.

The hands look amazing, and so does the whole drawing. I love this picture

Aww, thank you so much! Hands are my bane and sometimes I feel like I'll never get 'em right; but your kind words really make me feel better about it. I truly appreciate the love!

You're very welcome, they look great as always ^^

Oh
My
God.
This is bloody amazing! The pose is simple yet so dynamic...! I especially love his eyes, they are full of life and give more "energy" to the drawing. Another awesome piece by you, keep the awesomeness up!
π: 0 β©: 1
D'aww, really! You're making me blush, sweetie! Thank you so very much!! I'm glad you see that much awesomeness in such a simple drawing. It means a lot and I appreciate (and don't think I deserve) all those wonderful compliments. Thank you!!
π: 0 β©: 1
You're very welcome, and that's what makes your works so unique: the fact that they can be simple but full of energy

Thank you! That's rather what I was going for, so I'm excited you could easily read that on his face.

Haha, yeah, I'm not very original. XD Thank you! I'm glad you like it. OMG hands are just like, kill me now! I can sketch them in okay, but as soon as I have to define each finger it goes to hell.

I don't mind that it's not original it fits really well

You just reminded me of the cute heron in the movie 'Catch me if you can' ^_^ Ed looks awesome!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! I never saw that movie, even though it's the first thing to come to my mind, too, when I think of that phrase.

You're welcome. It's a great movie. It's different and very amazing. You should totes watch it. Plus, the hero is very cute ;D
