For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Character (Joeri) is mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the traditional I mentioned, sorry for it being late. I spent a long time trying to get it to look like the original, and while it's still lacking (the scanner ruined a lot of the shading), I'm pretty pleased. I actually have a name for this character, Joeri (pronounced Your-ee), it seems to be a Dutch name for a boy, but I like it.  She'll appear in July looking completely different, but just look for the handle-bar crown she wears.  The anatomy isn't great since I couldn't reference it, and I realize her hair makes her head look big, but overall it's alright. Titled "Prelude" because she will appear in my future works, so this is the "beginning". Time: About 6 hours Tools: --Strathmore Drawing Paper, 9" x 12" --Kimberly Graphite pencils pack (ranging from 4H to 8B) I only used 4H, HB, B, and 2B --A variety of mechanical pencils for small details and Sanford Design Pencils --Photoshop for edits and sparkles* *Sparkles added in Photoshop because I don't have white paint (and I don't want to ruin the original either). ~~~~~~~~~~~ Edit 3/21/08: ~Nawamane has colorized this picture, please take a look! [link] Comments thats amazing tbh
Thank you.
 -- The world isn't black and white; DA isn't split into "you must be jealous" and "omg i luv ur work!" It's called constructive criticism.  WOW! This came out AMAZING! All the little details just make it so much more beautiful, definitely deserves a fav. The pose is great, and the expression fits well. The wing thingies on her arms look fabulous--amazing job!
-- Zukini-chan/RyouShirogane ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *kibagrl3793 is my NON evil DA sister *mayonakaneko is my not evil twinny Haido-san *THE official creator of SHOUJONEN manga Thank you so much, I always enjoy your comments.
 You noticed a bunch of stuff I was trying to get through, I'm so glad. -- The world isn't black and white; DA isn't split into "you must be jealous" and "omg i luv ur work!" It's called constructive criticism.  Very georgeous :3 I love the shading and the glowing effect on the gems/stones, w/e XD
-- MOVED. KTHXBAI. Awesome icon made by ~happie ♥ Thank you very much! The glowing effects were done with pencils and took a long time, so I'm glad you noticed that.
The shading is very light because my scanner isn't very good, but at least it's presentable. -- The world isn't black and white; DA isn't split into "you must be jealous" and "omg i luv ur work!" It's called constructive criticism.  I love how you spent your time on this. Its very beautiful. <(^^)>
Thank you.
I spend a lot of time on everything I plan to submit to dA, sometimes even scraps. I'm very glad you like it.-- The world isn't black and white; DA isn't split into "you must be jealous" and "omg i luv ur work!" It's called constructive criticism.  Wow... you used a huge pencil range XD
The detail is quite amazing... I especially love how the wings came out. The way you did the shiny gems and stuff is great. It just looks wonderful. I don't really think the hair makes her head look big... it just looks like she has a lot of hair The anatomy is great for no reference, but her feet do seem a bit large. I really love how you didn't just make a bunch of light spots and a bunch of dark, but really used all the different pencils and incorporated all the shades into it. This is really nice. I shall fave it.-- Don't look to others for knowledge, this is your story.  I actually only used 4H to 3B (skipping in between), the pencils came in a pack with the huge range. I should edit that in the description. Thank you, your comments are always so well thought out. I'm glad you liked the wings and gems, I spent a majority of my time on them. And thanks, I guess she does have a lot of hair.  Mmm, now that you mention it, her feet might be on the large side (the back foot), thanks for the critique! Sketching/shading is always my favorite and a strong point, so I'm glad my years of shading practices paid off (even though the scanner didn't capture it correctly). Thank you! -- The world isn't black and white; DA isn't split into "you must be jealous" and "omg i luv ur work!" It's called constructive criticism. |
