Beldore Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Take my hand, we'll make it I swear~ [spoiler]good song, but seriously it's looking good c: [/spoiler] EDIT: and damn that's way too many layers Edited February 13, 2015 by Beldore Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Take my hand, we'll make it I swear~ [spoiler]good song, but seriously it's looking good c: [/spoiler] Just wait till I shade it. It will look 10 times better Link to comment
Musica Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hmm, if too many layers are an issue, perhaps you could combine them to specific pieces/elements rather than individual characters? For example, you could have all their clothes on the same layer, and then another layer with all of the character's hair, and so on. I know I tend to have lots of layers myself, so I'm always looking for different ways to cut down when I can. Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah I was going to do that but it's a rather large canvas and moving all around to color certain parts bugs me, but I'll live through so many layers. I eventually merge some down Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Welp, I made a 15 minute doodle for Valentines Day. So Happy Valentine's day to all of you lovely people. This is for you Fera, YumiLove, flavajabari and 2 others 5 Link to comment
Beldore Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Since I'm not doing anything on Valentine's day I'll draw a terribad Valentine's drawing Link to comment
Deejaye Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 aha hockey is basically my life <3 Also, all these color layers [spoiler] [/spoiler] Gonna have 12 more layers for shading. I literally can't handle so many layers. Like this alone is the normal amount of layers I have for a drawing and I normally have each colored section broken apart, but not for this What art program do you use? I know for PS and SAI you can make folders to organize layers into like this That makes it easy to group stuff together and if you want to focus on a certain element or whatever, then you can just hide/show the folder and maaagic. Might not necessarily be super useful for this, but in the future when you do multiple characters, it's good it looks like you have all the flat colors for one character on one layer? if that's the case, you can merge the colors for two characters, so for example, merge a far right character with a middle character (as long as they don't intersect), then the second most right with one character to the left from the middle etc or you could do what mu said Musica 1 Link to comment

At least that's what I'm assessing from a few of the screenshots. And I myself cannot remember for the life of me how the layering functions work on there. It's been far too long. But I know the program was lacking a few of the things we find in SAI or PS, just not entirely sure what. Or I could be wrong entirely on what program she's using, fff. Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah I have been forced to use gimp lately because my photoshop has been completely stupid for the last month and just won't open, but for now I'm just sucking it up with all the layers. It's just a pain to scroll up and down through them sometimes trying to find the right layer. The amount of times I go into the wrong layer and start coloring is actually amusing Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I did it. All these colors Such work so far. Needs shading Musica, Platoons, Beldore and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Grampaaa Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Too many layers? Well, be thankful that you aren't an ogre. Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Needed a little break from that AoT drawing so I begun a little sketch that will feature three couples from three of the stories I have been working on. I'll be working on it alongside shading that big drawing just to give a bit of balance between coloring and actually drawing. So here's the first couple that I finished already Also to prove I haven't slacked off yet on that AoT drawing, this is the bit of shading I got done Inarin, YumiLove and Beldore 3 Link to comment
Inarin Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 [spoiler] [/spoiler] Plo. Pls stop drawing guys with at least one physical feature I have. It raises questions :o Link to comment

Inarin Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here Quite a few of the males you've drawn recently have something about them that looks similar to me. :P This time, it was hair and stubble. [spoiler] The stubble is very recent. I'm so proud of it's progress :3 [/spoiler] Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 But but but I can't stop that. Where there must be a beard/stubble there will be a beard/stubble Inarin 1 Link to comment
Inarin Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 But but but I can't stop that. Where there must be a beard/stubble there will be a beard/stubble It's fine, I just can't help wondering why I look like your characters in some way ;) Link to comment
Ploegy Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well I think the solution is for you to stop looking like my character Link to comment
Platoons Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's fine, I just can't help wondering why I look like your characters in some way ;) I feel the same way, if you cant tell by the beard on my character in my avatar ;) Inarin 1 Link to comment

I thought it was going to be Fall of this year, but looks like they pushed it back. This is why I resorted to reading the manga aha. Gonna be an exciting season 2. But yet that AoT drawing if going to take me forever to finish Link to comment
Musica Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ah. I've been reading it since finishing the anime, but wait for a few chapters to stack up. Luckily it updates usually once a month which is nice. Always suggest folks to read it, since there's so much goodness contained. Link to comment
