Artist's Comments

WARNING: This is a huge tutorial! It may take a while to load.

So someone said to me yesterday that they were a little less than confident in backgrounds and landscapes, I decided this would be a good time to release an absolutely huge tutorial that covers the basics and methodology behind how to use pencils to create...well, anything!
Though the tutorial is not limited to pencil- you can do anything mentioned here with pencil, ink, watercolour, gouache, acrylic, oils, pastel, your cats paw dipped in ink, digital imaging software, or even, a ball point pen. It's all that easy!

List of contents:
o Lines.
o Grass.
o Brickwork.
o Trees.
o Clouds.
o Folds.
o Rocks.
o Weathering Objects.
o Holding the pencil on it's side.
o Line Thickness.
o Characteristic use.
o Other media.

And that's about it! I hope you learn something from it. You are free to download it for personal use and ask me questions about if you want to. :)

Enjoy!
And comment muchly! :D

(Uploaded to dA on the advice of a friend and the fact it's designed to help people, so why not help dA too?)

Thank you for the comment and favourite! Much appreciated. :D
I hope when you do go through it, it proves helpful.

He posted something! ;P
And a very cool something at that!
There are some great tips in there... I go through phases where I want to draw and I think this would be very helpful.
:poke: Why haven't you posted any of your work?

This is really neat. I usually have trouble with stuff like this so this is helpful.

Thank you for the comment and the add to your collection. :)
Glad it's helpful, however. And if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hahah, very funny. :aww:
I'm glad it's a cool something and not a boring something, I'd feel bad it was boring. xD
Also as I said to another commenter I tried to make it open to every level of artist, so that if you wanted to get into it, you could do it without worry of not being 'advanced' enough. :)

And I don't post any of my work here because I originally set up this name to watch someone who left SheezyArt, and then kind of grew attached to other people here...and then kinda never turn up around these parts often. ^^;
So I tend to just keep them all over at Sheezy, which if you want to take a look is: [link] and is filled with my general landscapes/character art.

:D
I think it's a great tutorial.

Thanks for the link!!
You've got some really cool work over there... somehow, just by talking to you occasionally, I knew you would. I don't know why that is either, because I don't think we ever talked about your art. Just a feeling, I guess!

I enjoyed looking. :)

Thank you! I hope it will be of great use. (If I haven't already said that, if I did, I mean it twice. :))

You're welcome.
I guess maybe it's because I give off that sort of mature and developed air? Some people have taken me to be nearly 10 years older than I am...and well the whole idea bemuses me. Still, thank you. I do try to keep alive the last notions of a dying world and/or art form.
(*Hopes that didn't sound too conceited*)

Maybe I'll upload here one day? ^^;

If I use it, you'll be the first to know! ;)

Maybe that's part of it, but that doesn't always make someone "artistic" so to speak. I had a sense that you were a talented artist even though you haven't posted anything.

*doesn't think you sounded conceited at all*

I think you should... I mean, why not?

Sweet! I look forward to seeing some drawn art.

Maybe you (like me) can sense people's potential or ability with a lil' foresight? I find it's easy to tell who's got talent (even if their skill is relatively low) when they talk, in general, as they just have that air to them.
Thanks again though. I get a lot of comments like that, but the ones that mean it are very much appreciated. :)

Nice to know.

Well, I probably won't be too popular, so where's the harm? Not like the comments will avalanche down on me. xD
