ART POSTING
(Subject not going through....Third time's the charm...??)
Art stuff thread starting...NOW! If you draw stuff, you can post it here! I draw in a sort of anime/manga/toon style, but if you don't, don't let that stop you from posting your stuff! I would love to see other people's art so post away! They can be OCs, fan art, or just random stuff. You can use any media, including digital, like I do! Just to let you chatterboxers know, I started this thread so we can share our tricks of the trade with each other. Feel free to: ask questions about how to draw certain things, post techniques, share art, and mostly HAVE FUN! If you draw your OCs, feel free to share information about them such as their names and that sort of thing. Same goes for fan art since not all of us know where these characters are from. You don't have to be polished with your art. I myself am just a beginner at anime/manga/toon. I'm not good at hands so if any of my hands looks particularly cruddy, you know why. I also struggle sometimes with feet so same goes for that. If any of you know how to draw a particularly good hand or foot, feel free to share your trick for it.
Going to post a picture of my OC, Tuxedo, if this post goes through okay.

Does anyone have any tips for shading? I'm really bad at realistic drawing, and I'm trying to get better. Here's a drawing of mine:

Tips for shading, hmm... Let's see. You want to think about the light source; where is the light coming from? Picture it radiating out from a circle or dot, whether off the page or on it, and falling on the subject of your drawing, which of course is three-dimensional. Everywhere it doesn't touch, shade. But you don't have to shade really dark; just lightly will do, and darken slowly the further away you get from where the light touches. Methods of shading include parallel lines, which you can see in Victorian art; the closer and more numerous lines are, the darker the area they cover will appear to be, cross hatching, which is a little less common but is made up of intersecting sets of paralllel lines (draw quick lines going one way, then more over those going the other way), and gradient, which is a little harder but probably what you're imagining. I'm not certain how to explain it, but if you do it right, there should be a smooth transition from light to dark. You have to keep careful control of exactly how hard you're pressing down on your pencil.

IMPORTANT SHADING TIP: Reflected light! I can't really explain how it works, so I'd recommend looking up reflected light art. It makes things look so much more realistic.

All this awesome hand-lettering has inspired me to write one with my own quote! I'll post it soon!
