Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tutorials have been requested for a long time (even before the Guild) now finally I can show you more or less a guide into how I do things. I'm not good at explaining things much less at teaching so I hope you try to figure out some stuff on your own. After all it is just a guide. You'll need a software to view the tutorials.

I use a tablet to do my drawings and while I encourage people that are serious in getting into drawing to get one it is not necesary as long as you at least have pencil and paper ^^.

I do everything but editing in CG illustrator. I use Photoshop for editing 'cause creating masks, resizing, indexing and all the filters 'nuff said Photoshop is the best. Sometimes I do everything in photoshop for example if I want a drawing cel shaded then why use CG illust to change later to PS when I could use paths and masks from the start. There's one thing in CG illust that I hate. Basically I can't copy (or don't know how) just an object from a layer. When you click copy layer or select the desired object and copy it as you paste it you paste everything in the layer (pain in the a**)
Also they can't be freely resized so unless I know exactly what I'll draw I usually make the sketch in PS first then switch to CG 'cause it gives me a more traditional feeling. You can even move your paper around ^^.

I hope there's a new version soon with those problems corrected. Anyway I might be able to send a full color pic animated thing if you want. PM the mail account to send it to if you want it.
