The Quest Continues

Okay, I think that’s enough Code Geass for now, don’t you? I jus finished my Yuki Cross/Kuran from Vampire Knight Guilty. Yes, I specifically say vampire Knight Guilty because this is the epic vampire with long hair version. Haha. I might draw her again later.

Also, I loved drawing and colouring Suigintou so much that i’m already working on part II! I had a bit of trouble with the hair but that’s okay, I’ll still make it look epic! I hope..


More Practice & New Toys
2009, November 11, Wednesday | Anime/Manga, Drawing, Photoshop, Software, Tradtional, Windows

You might have noticed by the spamming of my deviantART link everywhere, that I have begun drawing again. I have improved with colouring in Photoshop but my drawing skills are still on and off. It seems like they depend on my mood or something. One day I’ll draw decently well, the next I’ll be completely hopeless. Weird, huh? Either way, I still need a lot of practice and so, practice is precisely what I will do a lot of!

Above is a quick example of my practicing in which I focused on trying to get a clear facial expression. I focused mainly on the eyes and so that is why here, the rest of the drawing seems much more scrappy in comparison. I found whilst shading the eyes that i completely forgot how I used to shade them and so I had to improvise. Must work on that!

Oh, today I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (32 bit) and Adobe CS4 Master Collection and have been playing around with them a bit. I must say I like the new Photoshop UI and Windows looks pretty good, after a lot of customisation as usual. You can see an example of how I have set up my Photoshop CS4 Extended below in my 21.5″ 1920 by 1080 secondary monitor.

They have added quite a number of new things to CS4 including a menu dedicated to 3D content, and another menu called Analysis. There have also been a lot of purely cosmetic changes, some of which you will notice the moment you run Photoshop whilst others will be found when you start using it properly. Haha, I’m giving nothing away. Anyway, that’s all from me.
