...ahem, anyway. I just pulled up a screenshot of the monkey head and did my best to copy Purcell's outlines. I was also going to draw Guybrush's hand pointing at the monkey head with his thumb, but after a few failed attempts, I ended up trying to copy the sprite.
I think the reason I excel at sprite art is that there's a sort of rigidity to it that I don't find with a pencil and paper. I'm confined to pixels in a grid and there's a lot less room for play with things like lines. I do have some room to play, but usually I find that there's only ever one way that it looks right, and it's just a matter of settling certain pixels into the right place. Maybe I'll try spriting Guybrush in my own style (and by my own, I mean Nintendo's style for the Game Boy Zelda games) and see if I can save the process to show you what I mean.
When you do lots of gestural work, especially involving going to a populated area and capturing actual people going about their business, you eventually tend to get a more natural understanding of how the body and posing work enough to not need a reference every time.
Yeah, but... but... the NON-CRAPPY THREAD IS OVER THERE!!1!elf
SORRY! Yeah, it's already posted over at the other thread, I was just using it as an example so people with less money to burn could look into the wonderful free OpenCanvas.
guimero64 do you mind if I give you a tip? Try using multiple layers when you paint keep your line art in a different layer... then in the layer right below that you can paint all your color.... that way you are not auto filling anything and it will look cleaner.... also then you can color in solid colors then use the selection tool to select parts you want shaded and do that with the color and hue adjust... These are not the best ways to do things but they are easy.
Crappy Morgan...
I tried it... now am going to do a whole pic with this method...

That's better than some people could do in a life time, lol...do you have confidence issues? That is not crap, my friend. By far not your best work but not at all crap. You have so much potential, you got it man, you progress quickly, you are passionate and forever working, you have the potential to be a elite artist because you are so productive and want it so bad even we can feel it.

I'm ashamed of you, to post in here...
Yeah! Sheesh Guimero! Learn to be more crappy! Follow my lead! A few tips: lack artistic talent, and try to draw something in under one minute. Voila! Crap!

If the arrow between Winslow and Everything went both directions, this would be a perfect match to the season-arc diagram we have up in the small conference room.
