Lab color is very useful in that it separates value from chroma, and a lot of folks may find that particularly helpful. Technically, its use is in translation from one color mode to another (rgb to cm ...

Yep, it is. Not only can legal action be taken, but the actual copyright holders can sieze anything you've created and have you assist them in tracking down anything you may have sold. A number of act ...

Glad the review is helpful... and yeah I did forget to mention that the video quality is pretty poor, both on a monitor and on a television set. Quite surprised, as there's really no reason for it.

Wonderful! Amazingly amazing! My thank yous thank you...

At one point, I think on an old iteration of goodbrush, there were pages of sketches that covered basic reflection types and how to differentiate material, surface and lighting differences, say on con ...

This is the reply I put on another forum...

I've seen them. Folks have to know that these are technique DVDS. Just like the first set that Feng did (not sure what his second will have-- will know s ...

You can only trust your eyes and intuition to an extent, and not a great one at that unless you are very well along in your art and time put into it. When they fail you or you are backed into a corner ...

One thing to remember about tools such as smudging, blur, unsharp mask etc... at any time you start to use one, you have to stop for a minute and consider why you are doing it.

Once you lay your pa ...

1. Answer all of your questions in your drawing, don't leave anything to chance when painting.

2. Decide where your lightest light and darkest dark are, place them first, all of your other decision ...

Depends on what you want to do...

Trias are best for color and working in larger areas, and their working time iis a bit longer that of Prismacolors. However, the Prismacolors offer a truer range o ...

I replace mine every two months or so, but I use it every day for about eight to twelve hours, depending. The time to replace it is when the edges are no longer rounded, but have become angled or chis ...

No, Photoshop isn't older than you, unless you're only 11; Photoshop didn't become a commercial product until '90. Adobe didn't create it, though I'm sure they'd like people to think that they did. Wh ...

Tina is fine, and not one I've come across in any female Chinese friends who've adopted an English name. I've come across Jennifer, Lisa, Meghan, and Beth the most I think.

Katrien, Tammy, Kristin... ...

The eyedropper will help you get in the ballpark, but will not pick the color you think you're seeing. It's settings, and the nature of pixels, aren't going to get you exactly what you need... you nee ...

sorry e-x, I don't look in here too often. Yes, that's the place, and they're really good about shipping. The pens are about 3.25 or so apiece, and of course shipping on top of that.
Good luck.

If a ...

I order them from the Kinokuniya Stationery store in Japan Center, in San Francisco. I have them sent out UPS. Damn if I can find their card right now though, frustrating. Will post up the number if I ...

If you're in a larger metropolitan area/city, then all you need to do is find a Japanese stationery store, or a store that is part of a distributor. Kinokuniya is fairly decently sized. Or perhaps a M ...

I wouldn't necessarily include gestures, unless they are not only excellent pose captures, but also well produced. A lot of people mistake gestures for quick loose drawings that don't have to be so fi ...

I know a few folks who use Holbein's Acryla (NOT Cryla)... and it is great stuff. You have gouache benefits and color depth, but the drying is more permamnent-no reactivation when the color has set. W ...

Do you have any tear sheets or a book you can send off? Better than going through the web to track work down. You'll have to do some leg work to get the names of art directors and editors though. Also ...

That's how Illustrator works... since it's a vector based program, it gives you infinite (almost) space outside of your printable area to scale, create, size, move, store, you name it, any elements yo ...

It's too much of a crutch, and most people aren't really competent enough to make up for all of the errors a photo will throw at you. There's no way to get around having to take the time to learn to s ...

You have to remember that fire and smoke and flames have volume and form. They're flat in your image right now. In a good image, they will have character to them. Animating it, you'd actually have to ...

I don't find the every day boring at all, and I think those who do fail to look at the world too hard. This is a very exciting time to be living, and the way we costume ourselves, comport ourselves, a ...

Much improved...
I love stained glass personally...

One thing you may want to consider is taking one or two of the brown areas and bringing them a bit more to red. Not necessary, but you're pushing t ...

Okay, here ya go...

Quasar... I think you're pretty close to right.

I know I wouldn't want to mop up the mess. For the most part we seem to do well here, but I wish there would be exercised, well hell... a little viciou ...

Insert my standard reply here...

I went through a University, have a Bachelor's in Illustration and studied traditional animation, 3D animation and Industrial Design. So, that answered that bit. I've ...

Yer welcome...
Hope you always keep the desire not to develop bad habits. In this, it's tricky!
Why? Because you can pretty succesfully argue that almost any drawing will improve your skill. At the sa ...

1) Do you take your own photos or find them on the web?

Take your own as often as possible, and from different angles. You may know which angle you want to work from, but you have to do a few drawing ...
