Putting real life experinces on the canvas is always great.

now I just need to be pack raped by bus drivers so i can draw it :]

and also I wish you luck with that

digital shading... one way to do is to find the color you like the most, make a swatch of it so you can reference it frequently, then add white to highlight, or black to shade. and minute amounts of colors on either side of the main swatch for color highlights, since when shading or highlighting often illuminates colors previously not seen in any given light level.

nice bull by the way, was kinda hoping to hang on a hook for him myself.

I think I've got colouring down (with some lessons from master-C )

The main problem i have is where to put shadows, and then how to make them smooth and even...

ah, well.... the biggest thing is to know your subject, and to pick your light source.


Is the light coming from above? below? the left? right? etc...
if the light comes from the top, shadows show up on the underside of any protuberance.
if the light is from the left, shadows go on the right.
etc.

some shadows are sharp, others fade, that all depends on the stark strength of the light source, and the deffinition of the edge that casts the shadow. fur would be soft, but claw and teeth are sharp edged shadows. thats about the best i can suggest on this for now :">

A bull butcher seems so fitting. Nice.

I dunno why it didn't occur to me till I was colouring that this picture is incredibly un-canon :p

maybe he just sells fish?
thanks :3

well if he just sells fish, wouldn't that make him a FishMonger?

Nice of you to see that in him.

you shoulda seen him :p

but taking pictures is illeeeeegaaaaal :/

Sorry to hear that part, but at least you have him in this drawing.
