My Traditional Art
14 years ago
General
Okay so I've never really described my traditional art before.
Most of it starts out as a pencil sketch, this makes it easy to erase with my big white eraser if I mess up, which is a lot and because I'm a perfectionist it has to be just so.
This sketch is usually followed by inking with a very special pen set I have. Unfortunately said pen set of many sizes is ruined. So I have gone to using a different kind of pen. I don't like it much, but it works for now until I can find another pen set. >.<
After the inking I erase the stray pencil marks. This makes it look clean.
Then, depending on what I'm doing, I choose colored pencil colors one of two ways.
For Fanart/Commissions: I take colors that look similar and test them first on a blank sheet. Sometimes I have to mix colors to get it just right (for example: Abyss' hair http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5495192/ )
For Art I do for myself: I usually choose what colors seem to suit it. (For example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5496838/ )
Next if I'm using Gel pens for one reason or another I add in those colors. Sometimes I do them before the colored pencil and sometimes after. All depends on the piece.
After that I add my signature and then wait to get it scanned in. The waiting takes the longest because I don't have a scanner myself. I borrow my aunt's when I go see her.
The art process itself (without the waiting for the scan and the hours/days I spend not working on it for one reason or another) takes anywhere between 30 minutes and 3 hours total.
Since I don't have a paypal and I'm not that great I don't charge. I have but one rule, if it is not made for you DO NOT USE IT!
Also.. anyone who traces my art, uses any of my characters without my knowledge and permission, or attempts to claim my art as their own will not be tolerated.This also includes posting my art elsewhere without my permission. Doing so is done at thy own risk and I will not be responsible for any actions I take and will plead insanity under the terms that I will go insane and become a raging bitch. Art theft is not cool.
(my base using is different I credit the original base makers and link to their work)
This has been my little info of the day, you don't like it, I don't care.
Have a nice day.
