Artist's Comments
Who doesn’t love Disney’s Peter Pan?
I have been trying to improve on my colouring, and I really feel I could take this picture to “the next level” if I but knew how.
I’m only encouraging advanced critic on this in hopes of getting tips. Please don’t tear me apart, I’m coming from being a pen-and-ink artist, and I have never been to art school, and I failed every art class I ever took in high school. :/
Alright, so, Peter and Tink, as seen in my line-art here: [link] all coloured. I was going for dramatic, I hope I got some of that. Tink was the hardest part of this picture because she is SO small. I forgot to save my NOT sized down copy of the line-art (first time EVER) so I only had an image 900x850 to work with, and with her face so tiny, and limbs so thin, it was HARD! So forgive her her crappyness.
Shadows need to be darker, highlights brighter…GAH! 20 layers and 8 hours later I just gave up.
I still like this, despite everything that bothers me.

CommentsYou did a great job! They look so alive!

*sparkles* -- "Well, your opinion is as good as hers, I think. That's the real power of art, I think. Not to chide but to provoke chalange. Otherwsie why bother?" Elphaba, WICKED You deserve it, your whole gallery is fabulous.

-- "Well, your opinion is as good as hers, I think. That's the real power of art, I think. Not to chide but to provoke chalange. Otherwsie why bother?" Elphaba, WICKED I love the glow that Tink is giving off. And I agree with ~DarkFantasy they do look alive. Course Peter looks like he's about to get into some mischeif with the Lost Boys or go bug Hook, I'm not sure which...probably both
Pretty good, considering you're a newbie.
One thing I could tell you (if you are using Photoshop but not a tablet) is use the following tools- Brush tools, hard for filling in color, soft and medium opacity for shading. Smudge tools- smooth out your stuff really nicely. Avoid using the Burn and Dodge tools for skin. Lots of Layers until you are like, really used to it. Like really used to it. -- Stonking Good Titties  Proud Member Of: ~Jubilations-Fanclub- *Admin* *PendeoClub *Blood-Debt I use GIMP, and I have no tablet.
i do basically what you say, it just seems to take me FOREVER, but i am learning. thank you for the tips. <3 lots of layers is how i roll. -- "Well, your opinion is as good as hers, I think. That's the real power of art, I think. Not to chide but to provoke chalange. Otherwsie why bother?" Elphaba, WICKED Layers rock sox yo... fo sho!!!! (i don't actually talk like that. Im undercaffinated and over tired.)

 reports, 1d 6h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
