Looking for artists for a project
I remember posting something like this before, but, since it's basically dried up and all but forgotten at this point, here I am again with this.
Anyways, here's the deal: ever since a fan of a fanfic that I'm working on suggested that he illustrate my writings, I've been somewhat fixated on the notion. So much so that ever since he decided to call it quits, I've been on the prowl for a new artist who would be willing to take his place. A few artists, here and there, have showed an interest in this idea at first, but two of them called it quits (probably because I tended to hound them a lot when I didn't hear from them for too long) and one,
Inktober!
Hey guys, i have been very busy lately, but I'm back with my articles and pieces. :)
Inktober! Many of you heard of it, I'm going to create a folder for all of you guys to put your inktober work in there.
What do you think if we make a contest in between members for the entire October?
The idea is this:
- Making contests for you guys to practice
- Improving your skills even if a tiny bit every time
- Giving you a chance to interact with others and show your work
Good luck! :3
Line techniques (hatching, etc)
Line is not only used to draw contours, but to represent light and shadow on an object as well.
This can be controlled by the following:
- Thickness of the line
- Lightness or darkness of the line
- Gap between the lines
Many ways of lines could be used:
- small dashes
- small crosses
- small circles
- stippling (dots in other words)
- scribbles
- hatching (parallel angled lines)
- cross-hatching (parallel right-angled lines)
The most important things to remember using these techniques - be constant.
These techniques are also perfect to represent textures.
Try to play with them, fill up 2D and 3D shapes with them. Then you can try dr
