Thanqol Learns To Draw!

[Thanqol]

The best Treasure Island!

I really like the shading on her body - it just looks right to me. I also like the effect you got with the mane; what exactly did you do there?

Also, I'm super jealous that you're actually close to a tablet...

I ran over the edges of the shading on the body with the blur tool. The mane was flats of colour, and then long thin, bristled, darker lines to get the hair effect over the top. I then went over it with a few thin strokes of the lighter colour to break the lines up a little bit. All on the same layer on SAI, so the paints blended a bit. Afterwards, I went over it with a bit of a darker water on a higher layer at 50% transparency to mute the colours a little bit when it looked to be a bit too bright.

And don't get too jealous, because I have to leave my tablet behind tomorrow as I go up to Sydney. Internet access is again erratic, ya'll know the drill, so while I will be drawing every day I might not be able to upload every day.
