First of all I am not an artist. While looking up some fanart I thought that hey If they can do it why can't I.....lol. (and I had to find something to do while listening to music becose I was bored :DD) So I will only draw Cera for a while,becose I want to be able to draw her before moving to another one,which will be Littlefoot. First and worst one,whit a very unique pose Yeah,this first picture is sucks I know,I missed the headshape,I actually made another one with this angle which I like more than this,but I can't scan right now,and I only have this scanned,so i will show this.If you start with something ugly,the next ones will seem to be more nice I think :lol. I used a laptop touchpad for the coloring and the outlines,and I dunno what is shading but I tryed it .I forget to draw the lines in the frill in the original,so i had to make it without helpinglines with a touchpad,that's why they are look awful.

It looks great and cute! I don't think I could draw anything like that so well done from me. Can't wait to see Littlefoot!

Use a lighter outline when going from the main to the underside. Use a thick lining (like the one have now) to outline the entire skeleton. On the spine, she has a sort of bevel which wraps around back which is also a semi-darker color. I like your attempt on shading. Pretty good. I know I'm not an artist, but I can help others give good advice. |

Thanks for the advices,I find them very helpful,but that's not going to stop me from asking questions. By lighter lines,you mean a grey color,or something which is similar to her skincolor? By this:
Do you mean i should change the shape of the ridge,or the color?Sorry,i don't understand it. I'm glad you like the shading,becose I used the simplest metod I found,it's pretty easy with it.I will edit the picture by adding the things you said just to make sure I get it,and make that blackground transparent...This picture is good for practicing. |

I mean lighter as thinner...sorry for that. You do need a black line between her main amber color and her belly, but it should be barely noticeable. The ridges on her back are darker and they have a darker shade outlining them when you look at her from the top view. (it's really hard to explain, but go find a picture on google and you might know what I'm talking about.) Oh yes, I forgot to mention...the top shade on her frill not needed. I know you are trying to create depth, but the way you drew it, the sun is facing down on it, so the shade is not needed. |

Looks around, nervously

You actually did a pretty good job with the coloring, especially with a touchpad! And her head shape looks pretty spot on as well. Can I make a few constructive criticisms though? Her hind leg should have more definition to it, I think. Right now it is kinda just straight up and down. I also think that her eye should be more rounded instead of dome shaped. This is still a nice picture, and much better than you seem to think it is! ![]() |
