Yeah, I noticed that hand after I uploaded it. I was like... that hand is way too small.
I feel like I never use textures right. I mean, the most I do with them is use them for background. Or sometimes clothes. I guess there's not really a wrong way, but there's those people who use them and just make everything look so freaking pretty.
I wouldn't do it on a finished piece though, unless it needed a little more umph. I usually try to draw textures on clothes and backgrounds.
Right, me too. I mean, if I do the opacity's usually down and it's an overlay. Usuuaaaally.
I might use a texture for backgrounds though. Not the complete background, but just something to give it a little push and fill, y'know?
And I might use a texture to bring the whole focus in, or if there were... say, blood on the ground. I dunno, I'd actually probably still try to draw that.
I like to at least try to draw the textures on all the objects, and use a texture overlay to just pull everything together, if that makes any sense. I think it helps me improve with drawing other things. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'm trying.
Yeah, texturing can be difficult to do . . . but at the same time, using textures that are already made might not help me learn, that's what I'm a little wary of. Pfft. I dunno. Drawing digitally is . . . difficult. Meh. I think that's partly due to the fact that my laptop makes things laggy, so . . . I can't get the smooth lines that I want all the time. D:
But coloring... ehh. I like coloring both digitally and traditionally. Digital is easier, though.
But since I draw everything and ink it traditionally, most of the time I draw the textures in. Pfft.
Oh yeah. I definitely love coloring digitally. I . . . just have a wider range of color that way. Pfft. And it helps because I'm just too cheap to invest in some amazing markers. I want to, but I just don't. PFFT.
Half the time I don't really have to ink. I just make my pencil lines darker and then up the contrast in Photoshop, so all the gross, faint lines will just go away, and I'm left with the clean lines I drew. And if I really need to I go in and fix up some lines digitally.
But (I dunno if you know this about me yet or not) my rough sketches are REEEEEEEEALLY rough. Like, really really rough. So it's a complete necessity for me to ink it. I like... have to. If my pencils were tight enough, I'd just fix the threshold in Photoshop, but... they're not. And it honestly takes longer to clean up pencils for me than it does to just ink it.
