hehe I was playing around with my paint version a little

[mainichi]

well, to differ from other peoples ideas i kind of like the simplicity of kai's paint versions.... (not to mention i don't have any better version of art program myself)

except i have never been able to draw on a computer very well. since i am left handed i just have sucky motor skills.

but i like the pics. Do you create backgrounds for every drawing? (stories to why/who/and so on so forth blah blah blah)

[Kai]

Not for every drawing, although this one does have somewhat of a background. It's not very detailed yet though. The characters I draw during the school year tend to have more detailed backgrounds. As I have more time to think about it. During the summer it's hard enough to actually get myself to draw. So I'll maybe dedicate only 3-5 minutes a day to a single characters story (like this fox one.) That's not including the time it takes to draw it. During that time I spend the most time thinking about the character and what he/she is like.

(lol I'm going to ramble now...)
If I want to create a story with a group of characters the next step after developing the characters general personality/story is to design a setting. I didn't do this with my Kakashi-Yukito comic so it basically turned out to be a gag strip with no real setting. As a result the setting was nothing anyone would or could have any attachment to. This was fine for what it was. With a real comic/manga you need to think up the inside/outside of main area of interaction. This allows idea's to flow better and helps you to really get inside your characters heads.

Hoji: Shiro, what's that?
Shiro: Huh? What? The vase?
Hoji: Yes, the Vase.
Shiro: What about it?
Hoji: Nothing really, it's just been by your fireplace for as long as I can remember.
Shiro: It was my mother's vase...
Hoji: Oh...
...
Shiro: She found it in a Cracker Jack box
Hoji: O_o;?

heeheehee sounds good. My summer art also lacks substance^^;

[mainichi]

drawing during the summer we just lack events occuring to spin us into the mood...

but when i get drawing i can go for hours..usually listening to some japanese music.

like Munto said "I like the colors"...any suggestions on how you choose colors for your characters? *caugh* bad color coordiantion *caugh* no talent when it comes to picking colors.

[frumplstlskn]

Whenever I draw I usually see the picture in my head, but then when I'm done it's the same character just in a completely different pose or something.

Kai gets a chocolate for being his usual amusing self. Everyone else can just snatch chocolates from kai!

[frumplstlskn]

[Supreme Dictator]

I hope kai doesn't mind me always doing this in his thread.

Certain colors reflect the personality of a character. Just go with what best compliments that.

As for this drawing, I just went with fox colors. ^^

[KasugaSan]

look at my artwork in my thread...i totally use an optical mouse without any speed configuration...hohohohoho....'twas hard to improve though.....no need for a tablet if you have stable hands....o.o

[Kai]

My mouse is on the fastest movement setting. ^^;

I just use the line tool to do everything...

[KasugaSan]

...that's cool...line tool is hard for me...i don't use ms paint to draw though....
