    ok and hello first of all i have to apologise to chejo, this was his image and i liked it so i cged it but i havent asked him if i can (dont kill me).

    the image was on girlfriends computer cos she was going to do some fanart based on it but i live with her and i came across it and decided to try my lame skills with it

    im really pleased with the way the clothes came out as well as the shoes but some parts are obviously bad. but its only my second completed CG ever so i think its pretty cool

    It'll be in a subfolder in Rem's gallery later on so you can leave comments here or there and i'll get them, feel free to PM me cos i dont get any mail and i'd appreciate it

    Firts rule when trying to become a CG:er

    Never say that you suck, you dont suck, you didn't take your time when you did this, next time I want you to spend 3-4 hours when you CG next picture, I have a tutorial If you would like to see it then PM me and I will give you the Link, by the way what program do you use,? Is it photoshop 7.0

    Rule number 2 never lose fait , and dont stop, try this for like 6 months if you still arn't good then you can give up ^^ pleas dont keep on going ^^

    You don't suck. Heck.. you're a better CGer than me :sweat:

    All I see that needs fixing is the way you shine the hair. Look at some other CG drawings. Try to imagine where the light is coming from. A good example of CG for the hair would be to look at someof SaberJ2X's drawings :catgirl:

    thanks for the advice peeps

    I think you got the wrong idea about the thread title, i'm not trying to put myself down I was just kidding about the sucking, I know i need more practice but I also know i'm not totally talentless I'll pm mangaka when i have the time because i've been looking for decent guides

    I used Paint Shop Pro 7 but soon i'll be working with adobe photoshop CS

    (if anyone has hints for either of these programs then Pleeease PM me )

    Be proud! It's a really cute girl (yes I know Chejo did it,) but the coloring is not half bad. I can't CG at all!

    Looks pretty good for a second attempt at CGing. I think a lil shading in the hair would make it more consistent with the clothing (cuz the clothing has airbrush while the hair doesn't).

    Keep in mind that not all artists allow others to color their drawings, and when in doubt, ask first. But it's good that you said it wasn't your drawing.
