aaaah,excuse me while I fangirl over this picture~~~~ I just lovelovelooooove shading on Kandas hair,it's so amaaaaziiiiiing <33333333 I just saw Kanda's waist,I didn't notice at first.Ohmigod this picture just got sexier I also love how you did that drapery thing,I always have problems with draperies and fabric so that's why I'm drooling over it Not to mention it I could use it as a great practice example :3 Beautiful job Mel~~~
My, that is lovely. I particularly love the details, like the gauze pad on Kanda's arm, the bandaging around his neck, and even the slight highlights on the fingernails. Then again, the entire piece is great too. (Eh, sorry for soundlike like a loon.)
Ah, weelll. D: I don't know how you're doing it (I'll assume you're using colorpencils), but I make sure to lightly color in the blues and green first. Then you need a darker blue and green color to put in the shading. Then from there, you want to try to mix the blue and green together where they meet in the coloring.
Only when you get all that do you start to go over it more to complete the coloring. You don't want to try going for the look I have in my finished drawings until after you have all the shading and highlights in place. 'Cause it's pretty much impossible to mix colors after the fact.
Uhm... I hope I'm making some sort of sense, here.... OTL
DeviantART and Wacom are proud to present the second Intuos4 "Bring Your Vision To Life" contest! Open to all artists all over the world, we challenge you to show us your dreams and aspirations for the future. Get drawing!
Daily 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 5 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.
This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and *Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same.

Always looking for ways in which he can get more involved in our community, John's positive presence is to be aspired to. A well respected poet, John is a must-have on your deviantWATCH to make sure that you don't miss out on your dose of community inspiration.
