hair brushes and other stuff...

Mon Aug 7, 2006, 1:32 PM
ZzzzZZZZzzz... I know I rarely update my journal or posted much lately 'cause I'm super busy with exam prep right now. Give me a week and a half and I'll be slightly more active again ^^

Also, I have uploaded a hair brush set that I developed for GIMP. It's pretty much done, but the set comes equiped only with one size, so canvas sizes matter. It's just a better version of what's already found on dA (the one I was using is actually referred to as fur brushes [link] but serves the same purpose ), so it's not something new ;p The only difference is that my version is better organized. Also, the strands are more spaced out/aligned in a way for finer texturing and sharper natural-looking curves. The critical curve angle (how much the hair can curve before strands start intersecting each other and make a total mess of thing) is still not as great as I wanted it to be and is now direction/brush dependent. Tutorial comes later once enough people bug me about it, lol.

Also also, I was wondering if you guys have any reccomendations for traditional inking pen (for linearts, specifically). I tried a 0.6mm Staedtler lumocolor permanent, but it bleeded way too much (the darn thing soak through the paper no matter how lightly I pressed!). Well, I used liquid ink okay (Parker Vector & Pilot V5), but the lines looks horrible. I was thinking of grabbing a bunch of random felt-tipped pens, but that seem kinda expensive ^^; Just asking 'cause it takes quite a bit of time re-tracing the lines digitally and I think traditional inking looks nicer... Or atleast when I finally get hang of it :)

Also also also, the domo-club is watching me for some reason O.o. I feel threaten. Not sure if I should watch back. Long Story short: joining an inactive fan club is not the way to meet new people (I had like this one fanart at the time, so meh).

no it's not the first time I've heard that ^^; (not that I really mind; I actually enjoy these type of comments). Experiences? I just learn fast (I only began drawing again (or atleast anime) just a months before joining dA). Talent? My work is the results of a lot of technical know-hows + sensitivity and 0% creativity, lol :p Everyone have atleast a couple areas of improvments, creativity is the area in which I must improve :)

My summer vacation doesn't start until about 2 weeks from now (I guess you guys will be cramped into school by this time, lol), so I'll hopefully start posting stuff in bulk then :XD: I'll be looking forward to your works too ^^

Really, that's a pretty cool thing to know ^^

I can't do hand drawings if my life depended on it, lol. I guess I'm too spoiled by digital tools and this style is relatively easy to do on computer ;p
