I started out by sketching, then I Scanned and CGed
I usually draw messy sketches so I'm not that great. Check out the sketch fer this pic. I'm out of practice anyways:dizzy2:

 

As always, Miia is beautiful, and you, Skuld, are an amazing artist.

oh wow skuld ./. Thats a great drawing I thought of drawing somehting for M2A birthday but I didnt want to embaress myself ..

*btw tell me/us the steps you take to color your scanned drawings*

 

I used a slightly different method here, than the one I usually use.
As you can see, I've drawn a sketch, not too detailed, however clear enough so that I know how my picture is going to turn out and scanned it in greyscale mode at photoshop.

Since I was too lazy to clean my drawing at the time I thought why not "block paint".

One good thing about photoshop is that it allows you to use layers *think of them as transparencies*. Each on of these layers I name so that I don't get mixed up. I do one layer for the hair another for the skin, and dress etc, and I either select the multiply mode or play with the opacity of the layer to see the scanned image. After that I hide all the layers, and create a new layer for the outlines. I use the line tool for outlines since I have a very shaky hand, and I start redrawing or retracing my original lines. Believe me there are more efficient ways to CG. My method is not the best as you all can see ^^;
