Wow... is that over the same drawing, or did you redraw it and then color?

Attalus · 07-14-2005, 07:37 PM

Thanks. Redrew the whole thing, with no outlines.

Sir Goulum · 07-14-2005, 09:03 PM

No outlines? Wow! With my drawings, I try my best to make it as seemless as possible, no lines at all anywhere, but I find I always end up having to draw in a faint outline, at the very least, just to keep proportions, and shade lines in place.

Attalus · 07-15-2005, 05:18 PM

I used to do that, obviously, but I have been convinced that a sharp demarcation between tones is far more realistic than an outline. As realistic as you can get, anyway.

Sir Goulum · 07-15-2005, 07:23 PM

Well, it's not like my outlines were thick or anything. Often times, I lose where them after coming back to it or something.

Attalus · 07-16-2005, 11:55 AM

Yeah, that's what they tell you to do in pencil: shade them into your other tones. But, you can't do that with ink, and that's why I'm dropping it, for now.

Sir Goulum · 07-16-2005, 01:41 PM

Well, with ink, you just work on the shadows to make the shape of everything.

Attalus · 07-18-2005, 07:30 PM

True, but ink is so there. This, for example, is my latest, pure graphite (on vellum Bristol board, of course).

1 quick question: Do you smudge the pencil stuff?
