base program and background from pokemon art academy
Today's lesson was learning about line weighting, Tapering, and shading with the outline pen.
I was SO happy to be working with the marker style again and shading with the outline pen seems to be a really handy and fun way to shade. so if I do shade any of my "free art mode" pictures. I may just use the outline shading style.
Next lesson which is a mini lesson is drawing lucario (YAY \^w^/ )

Nice, though it looks out you went outside of the outline on the coloring in a few places. Probably should of used the eraser before finishing it.
When I did those lessons, I realized I already knew about tapering since I was already doing it in Free Paint. I tend to cover up the outline template with the outline pen and go over each mark a few times before using the outline eraser to get it to my liking. I like to make sure it slightly overlaps the template so none of it shows through. Then I decide if I want to do outline shading or not before I color with the marker. For all the Graduate lessons, I redid them in Free Paint with the outline and marker after finishing the lesson, also doing shading, but no highlights unless the picture has them, and also gave them the same background when done. Either way, I try to get as close as I can with the shading as the picture shows when playing around in Free Paint.

Heh. Yeah, I try to stay within the outlines myself, and just undo if I go out on accident. Or erase if I find it later. If I have to make up some colors for a few, I try to stay as close as I can to the picture.
Yeah, and I check by playing with the template types, going to grid, none, construction shapes, and back to outline, did that a bit in the lessons, too, outline to nothing, then construction shapes and back to outline, or by making the outline the same color as the background before going back to black. I also try not to cover up some areas, but it's hard when it's really small and the outline is close together.
I also cheated a bit in some lessons by using the outline template instead of the construction shapes one, and for the Graduate and bonus lessons, used the construction template to make my own shapes, then the outline template to doing the details. Started doing that when I had problems with the Inkay lesson and just used the outline template to do it.
Shading was a bit hard at first. Had a bit of a problem doing the Voltorb lesson, hard shading a round shape, attempted in Free Paint without shading, but it looked odd, didn't save that, though the Chimchar and Pumpkaboo mini lessons were easier. Heh... and I got used to the shading, so I tried it on those I did in Free Paint, except the Pikachu finale lessons.
