[Art] Aoshi does her best.

[Aoshi-shi]

Instead of dumping all my crap at one time into a topic that isn't mine like a jerk, I decided to start my own topic! How scary~ 

So I'll try to update this frequently as possible.
Constructive criticism is welcome as always. *Cowers*

Anyways, let's start off with stuff in colo(u)r~

So, the scanner just butchered the color on this. It's supposed to be brighter.



So since I was so far ahead of everyone else in my Art class, my teacher said I could present a tutorial on anything I want. So that following week, I presented a tutorial on how I color everything from skin to clothes to hair as well. This is the final result.  I'm really proud of this one~!



Nue nue nue nue.



And finally for now, Yuugi and Parsee. Yuugi's skirt turned out better than I thought.

[Primula]

At least you do better folds and colorin than I do. o3o

Shikieiki's face seems to be a bit off for some strange reason. 

[Aoshi-shi]

Yeah, I've noticed that too.
In my opinion, I think that her eyes are level horizontally, but her face is tilted.

[Dlanor A. Knox]

The remi is very nice.

[Aoshi-shi]

There are two versions that I had to do for my class.
The one you see is coloring with different shades of colors, the other with the dodge and burn tool in Photoshop. But this one looks much nicer.

[Jana]

Nice to see you bringing your abilities to the forum, Aoshi~

[Aoshi-shi]

Thank you very much. 

Also, I've managed to finish something else within a 4+ hour time period.

I love Rena, and I love your Rena.
The clothes are a little stiff though, but I'm sure it's something you can improve with practice.

[Firestorm29]

I have to say, I really like how you did the colors, especially with remi. I was wondering how you got the colors to look so uniform.

[Aoshi-shi]

Holy crap man, long time no talk!

[HakureiSM]

Woot, you got some skills there.

And that Remi is absolutely lovely.

I'll be sure to keep track of this thread.

[TEspeon]

All of it is really good! I particularly like that Remi. Your art/coloring style looks great, too! I'll subscribe to this thread

Some criticism: the torsos on them touhous look a little too thin, even for manga. I think making it slightly thicker would make it look better. I hope that helps!

[Infinnacage♫]

everywhere in your thread there's "Uploaded with ImageShack.us". Please remove it, for more attention will go to the awesomeness that is your art.

[Aoshi-shi]

Should be fixed now.

[Firestorm29]

Holy crap man, long time no talk!

Yea, it has... ^^;

Pretty cool now that ya removed those links. Still kinda curious about the coloring thing though.

[Aoshi-shi]

I could post the tutorial that I made for the class, but the thing is that it was mostly comprised of lots of talking and live demonstrations.
Dunno how I can do it here.

[Aoshi-shi]

Double post for great justice.

I managed to finish coloring the Utsuho drawing that I did a while ago.
And in that time, I could have finished that 5 paragraph essay due Monday. Hooray!



Auugh, I will never understand why I shade stuff like that. It's so....odd.

[Uwa]

Oooh, I like that one. The coloring is nice, really interesting. Makes it seem fun somehow.

[Jana]

I'm not an artsy sort at all, but what do you mean by weird shading? It looks fine to me!

...As does the rest of this picture. I don't usually post in these threads because I can never give constructive criticism, but I can say what I like the most. In this picture, I think it'd definitely have to be Utsuho's cape~

[チソウ タイゼン]

I do like your work.
TEACH ME HOW NOT TO SUCK AT EYES
Coloring is quite nice and the shading fits.
There's something a bit off about Eiki, but Nue makes up for it what with the background and extra fluff about.

[MayKissingDoveWyks]

Shape-wise, your work is decent.

Shading... I really see no problems, but since I don't like colour shading I can't really judge that myself.

I like the line style and thickness. It flows greatly.

That sounds like that could get really complicated on the net. I probably wouldn't worry about it then.

I'm not sure what you mean by odd shading, it looks pretty good to me.

[HakureiSM]

TEACH ME HOW NOT TO SUCK AT EYES

Bit of practice and some tutorials, really. I used to be scared shitless of eyes, but with just a little research I found they're not that misterious.

Also Aoshi, what the hell do you see wrong with your shading? I think it's p awesome. Unlike mine, that has no originality whatsoever.

[Guest]

Aoshi drew my avatar, so she is love.

[Mushyrulez]

And in that time, I could have finished that 5 paragraph essay due Monday. Hooray!

You did that in like, an hour?! :/

[Jana]

5 paragraphs, not 5 pages.

...I sure wish we still got those in college. ;_;

[Aoshi-shi]

You did that in like, an hour?! :/

AHAHAHAHA......no. 

I'm probably the slowest writer on the face of the earth, it actually takes me hours to write something 5+ paragraphs.
I wish I could write that much in an hour. 

[Aoshi-shi]

Fun to draw,
Pain in the ass to color.

Since the trimester ended, I got to bring home my beloved art portfolio from Art class. Yay~
I should scan some crap in this weekend.

[MayKissingDoveWyks]

It looks great! Expressions.

I'd love to see some more if you're going to scan them...

[Roark Desmond Jaffar]

I'm liking the color on these.
