bleh, you all know by now that i'm an incredibly slow worker, even when the works done it takes me awhile to get it online (damn filters!)

mail it to me then... like the last one...

Your work is fuggin awsome (b^.^)b

Thanks Judgment!

and shade, i'll mail them to you when i can get them to the school computers, (the floppy disk drives and cd drives are playing up at the mo, seems like somebody doesnt want me to put my wonderful pictures online )

and to everyone who hasn't voted on this poll, VOTE NOW! (and post something!)i need feedback!!

I have a question. How do you do the shadows. i can draw and colour my pics but once i try shadows it desolves into a pile of junk. It looks so easy but is so hard :'(

you use photoshop right?

neater shading:
once i've base coloured it ( a layer for each section, 1 layer for skin, 1 layer for hair etc) i will go back to the layer i want to shade first and create a new layer just above that and press ctrl+G to group it together (so you can only paint over the original basecolour instead of the entire pic, this helps to be really neat)
Shading:
then i choose a darker version of the basecolour and imagine where the light would be coming from and where the shadows would be, use other pictures to help you out, and spend some time doing it
