And that is just beautiful.:)

I love your line width variation. What are you using, a brush? Crow quill?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

just pencil ^_^

Wow, that is some CLEAN pencilling! I always get smudgies all over from the heel of my hand dragging over what I've drawn.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

well, I drew first in blue pencil, and the cleaned up in graphite (2b).

when you scan in, and then take into photoshop, you can take the blue channel out, and thus, only happy graphite remains. :) ^_^

plus it's kinda my job to have a pretty clean hand.

Some animators use special gloves with the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger cut out, to keep their work clean. Saw it on TV like 15 years ago, back when I was still hoping I could go to CalArts and be an animator someday. I tried it for a while. Worked pretty well. But nowadays I'm just a casual sketcher, so I don't worry about it as much. Hmm. I've got some non-repro blue pencils around here somewhere. I oughta pull those back into service now that I'm about to start my old comic strip (http://www.livejournal.com/community/lostboycomics) back up. Right now I'm only showing my old stuff. But pretty soon I'll be drawing new stuff again. Love seeing your art. Keep posting it when you can. ^_^

eh, I've never seen anyone use those things. unless you're using a really dark pencil (ie 6b) it shouldnt be that much of a problem especially for animation, where unless you are doing cleanup drawings (ie final line, etc) it doesnt matter. the line is important, but a slight gloss over of minor smudging doesnt matter at all.

in fact... I havent even seen clean up artists on animated films using one of those gloves either. I think they use 2b or under though.

I usually use col erase carmine red or colerase blue. the others arent soft enough for me. non-repro blue is a little too light for me, but everyone likes different things. ^_^

Thanks for the feedback. :) Good to know from someone more experienced than myself.

eh, just do whatever works for you. try things, but you know, just do what feels right. that's the best thing. ^_^ something that works for one person may not for another. I know guys who animate in permanent sharpies, and those who animate with HBs... there's all kinds

the red channel......

I can NOT believe I never thought of that.
Wow.
*double checks brain cell count*

[domkitty.livejournal.com]

That's the way I 'ink'! Feels good to know that I'm doing it 'right', so to speak ^_^

Soo pretty!! :D

I'm sure it will cheer Cindy right up! :D

Animating with permanent sharpies??? I would die *__*

For myself, I have to have the confidence that I can go back and erase if I need to fix stuff (I'm more or less messy because I press too hard and go over the lines more than once--a habit I'm still trying to break).
