Good old Amy Lou, the only reason to watch the episode. Well that and her amish father screaming "YEE-HAW!!!"

Atari, you never fail to impress. It will be a sad day when you stop producing gems like this.

Great piece of work there. I love the pose and the quality of the drawing.

A few "small" notes for future reference:

I agree with Lingster on line weight. A good way to accomplish this in photoshop is to mess around with the brush options. If you go into the brushes window under "Shape Dynamics" there’s a drop menu and if you choose "Fade" you can get some shape dynamics with that. Personally I’m not too big of a fan of drawing with a mouse so if you want to take the expensive route, you can drop several large bills and get a pen tablet which works miracles with Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter.

On color, I like how you approach it with strong highlights. The thing is I think that they’re too big unless you’re going for a "flood light right next to her" kind of look. It’s kind of a common mistake with a lot of people to approach it in this manner of big highlight and small shadow which is incorrect in a lot of situations. Also you have to think in one direction with shading. I really can’t tell which way the light is coming from. A good way to keep yourself in check with shading is to draw an arrow representing where the light is coming from and work off of that putting highlights on the side facing the arrow and shadows facing away. It’s hard to find good tutorials on light and shadow but reading one or two of them will help out with understanding light.

Well there’s my long winded bit of advice. If you’d like you can beat me down with a stick now. 😐

Those are some nice pics, I especially like the drawing. Seeing that I’m the first of 53 people to bring this up, but I had some trouble at first because your images were hosted by geocities which is probably the worst place to host images. A better solution is to go to http://www.imageshack.us which is a great image hosting site.

I have but one word in response to the Tick’s return.

[Matthew Lim]

Yay! thanks KTM!…I see you posted the "fixed triceps" version lol…

It would have been silly of me not to 😀

Not bad. That’s an impressive coloring job. I love the detail in the hair.

Believe it or not the hair was actually the easiest part. Its those damn boots that were causing trouble for me.

beautyfull!she looks so tall!!!

Drawn that way. Proportionately smaller head = Taller apperance. Just one of those subtle things people don’t know but can recognize in the back of their head.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I’m hoping to get this next project sketched out within the next few days.

Well here we go fresh out of the ‘shop:

Now I will get some sleep before starting my next project.
