I was actually using one, but I can't draw straight lines proficiently. Yet. That and I changed a few details about it, which ones I can't remember.

I guess I could have used the line tool.

GENTLEMEN.

Gentlemen, there is a lady who requires our help. As gentlemen, not mentally unstable "true artist" fuckwads, it is our duty to attempt to assist a member of the fairer sex when they are in a dire plight.

So who wants to help this young lady?

Don't look at me like that! I suggested assisting, it doesn't mean I have to be the first in line.

tl;dr: how do i make a smoother transition between these colors.

A really easy way? No.

However, if you use many shades of the same color, it'll look really smooth. The more colors, the more work, the smoother the transition looks.

For transition, you want colors that are no more than 5 or 10 RGBs in color from each other. Put those up in a conga line, radiating from where you're transitioning.

Either that, or use the opacity feature. The lower the opacity, the more strokes you'll have to make, but the better it looks. The problem with trying this with opacity is that you can get spots that are darker than the stuff around it, which looks bad, so you'd have to be careful to keep the LMB or equivalent pressed until you're ready to make the next layer of pale.

Doesn't this show up at the top of the topics, saying "Read me first?"

Start with your own picture. It's required here. Sorry.

Besides, art is interpretive bullshit. It's whatever anybody wants it to be, and nothing else. All topics have good stuff and pretentious bullshit. It's best to go from imagination and not worry about symbolism or anything unless it's humorous, otherwise it says something everybody already knows.

IMO

Check your freakomonster's moveset and type, as well as its nature and stats.

Yes, I went past the dork line.

Bullshit everyone draws better with a tablet,

Wrong in the following ways:
Assuming everybody draws with pencils, pens, or tools similar to tablets.
Assuming that a tablet has tactile response.
Assuming that pressure sensitivity works on all programs (I'm not sure on this either, though.)
Assuming that a person has experience with a tablet when they obtain one.

Also,

also while your at it you should but photoshop, THAN you will be amazing!!!

Gah.

One does not become magically great if they obtain an item. If I gave you a Leopard 2 it wouldn't make you the best tank driver in the world. If I gave you a supercomputer you would not be the best gamer in the world. If i gave you a five star kitchen, you would not be an awesome cook.

IF YOU HAVE A TABLET AND PHOTOSHOP, BUT HAVE NO EXPERIENCE OR SKILL, THEN YOU ARE STILL SHIT.

Also, you spelled "then" wrong, and unlike "but" instead of "buy", this typo is damn near impossible to make by accident. I'd like to know if buying the latest keyboard would make you a better typist, hmm?

Oh, you're banned for a week? It's not like you could prove your point anyhow.

This used up five minutes of my time that I could've used to do nothing. Thanks.

Thing.

Why am I staying up so late when I need to drive every morning...

Eh, not my problem.

What is the hardest kind? I mean for you, that which you speak of, since everybody's different.

just looking for tips and some criticism.

Post more pics. It's easier to give criticism if we've got more than one thing to work off of.

With this one, I'd like to know what you were going for. I'm not sure about what to say of it, since all the things that bother me could be legitimately stylized or intended.

I didn't feel like drawing any of my characters.

So I took something else and made it resemble something else.

One thing is obvious, and the hair makes the other source even more obvious.

Big and Properly viewed version.

I shot this off to Luxembourg in case he wanted to make any last minute changes, but in case he's already asleep, bam.

Oh God, that was posted so long ago it hurts. Yeah, reducing head-to-body ratio.

At least, that's what I'm giving myself the impression of doing.

Anyway.

Something new.

Part of a concept sheet, unfinished. This part is really the only one done.

I agree with Vero; Bamboo's good.

But if you're rich, you could get one of those fancy new draw-on-the-screen computer monitor tablets.

Tired is the effect I was going for.

WIP.

None of your posted drawings have feet. DO you not like drawing them?

Trust me, you'll never get better at drawing something if you don't try. If you drew them but purposely cut them off because you think they look bad, don't do that, it's better to have everything visible so we can give advice on it.

Also, on the first one, the left breast (our right) is sort of lumpy looking.

Have to get upstairs, I'll post pics of what I'm talking about.

His anatomy for his drawings is fucking weird so inother words, Draw better.

Who is this his you speak of? Kashi is a girl. Rather odd of you to say "his" after Luxembourg referred to Kashi as a girl, especially since you quoted the very text that stated Kashi's gender.

That's still not criticism, anyway. You might as well say "This is stupid because I say it is".

As Luxembourg said, why?

The anatomy is weird. Why? Are the legs too long? The heads too narrow? Are you thrown off by how it's lined and colored? Being incredibly specific never hurt anybody.

At first, I thought this was you but with a four legged squishy cuttlefish legs.

Like a centaur. Or a cuttletaur. Or maybe a Verocuttle or a Davidian Mollusk.

Kinda reminds me of Midna's head arm thingy.

Sorta I guess. That's a good thing, right?

I've been asking around about which outfit the character looks better in.

People seem to favor the skirt. I guess I drew her prettier in the skirt, but...

I got a satisfactory explanation out of one person, who stated that girlier clothing would help a character look more innocent, and in this one's case, help disguise their homicidal mania.

Lightning arm.

Basic fill coloring to keep it from being just black and white, no shading yet.

They dubbed TTGL? I watched it way back in mid-2008-ish, in Japanese with subs. It was fantastic. I had no idea they had dubbed it, though I'm not surprised.

Yeah. Youtube hunts down the Japanese dubs when the english dubs come out, usually because those get hosted on a company channel.

TTGL's got the entire series English dub on Youtube, but I'll be damned if I can find entire episodes from the original dub.

Speaking of youtube,

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I FIND THE OPENING THEME TO KRIKORIAN THEATERS.

Seriously, the only recording I can find had dumbasses laughing and a bunch of stupid clapping in it.

You take a few pages out of the back of the journal and light them on fire. Although they're burning up rather quickly, you get enough light to examine the creature.

Or, what's left of it.

You're not certain whether you should be relieved or terrified.

I'm gonna change the style of the pencil tool thing from here. Sketchy doesn't look good when you stick color in it.

Your eyes readjust to the darkness. Your enhanced eyesight lets you discern a large and unfriendly looking thing in front of you.

There is a door beside you. The odd thing is standing in front of a flight of stairs. There is a thick rope dangling behind you.

I'd advise to not be too reckless here.

Also, it's really dark. You're rather certain you'd prefer the lights on.
