iloveboxcars Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 the attitude of the entire piece feels melancholy aside from the color of the dude sitting down. Maybe use a more drab color for the body, and a more off-white for the white of the hat and bottle. aside from that i feel like the piece works well for what i imagine you were shooting for. which is alcohol is a depressant.

johnny ballbags Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 meh.... still learning.... self-portrait that was due on my 21st how did you make the wet wrinkly lookin texture over the whole piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I dont use illustrator but I do do only vector work through Fireworks. Id hate to repost because most of my stuff is sprinkled in Your Art, Daily Sketch etc threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schism Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 how did you make the wet wrinkly lookin texture over the whole piece? i just got a brush texture from google and put it on top, and turned the transparency way down. thats not really the right way to do it, though, and i'm still working on a more sophisticated way of adding textures to digital pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__ __ __ __ Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 did you live trace the text? not saying its the best way or more respected way, I just know its a whole lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schism Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 i dont know? haha i drew it on paper then scanned it and traced the drawing with the pen tool? haha im still clueless w the whole digital art thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Don't fret schisism... I've been using Illustrator for over five years and all I know is the pen tool. One of these days I'll take a class, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Although knowing the pen tool is really the best way. It will keep you on the vector side of things rather than the bmp tools. Ive never known any fancy moves in Adobe Fireworks ( I learned vector in Fireworks and never took the time to change to AI). Ive always drawn out the vector line and used the reshape area to push it around where I needed it. It wasnt until like 2 years ago that I found the "Simplify" option to help cut down the curves for me. Oh and I was the happiest ever when I realized there was a "Punch" and "Union" command hahaha I had always just stacked and stacked and stacked to get what I wanted. I say stay on the vector side of things because it allows you to stay limitless. Theyre just mathematical lines and no matter what size you change your canvas youll never lose quality.

publicenemyno.3 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i'm new to the whole computer design thing and looking into getting a wacom tablet to make it less of a bore to do what i need to do in illustrator. i was looking at the bamboo fun because it's in my price range for right now, but i don't want to buy something that i'll outgrow quickly or that will limit me. any suggestions?

yinqiaol Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The moment you see the Maple Story NX Cash Card, I believe you would think of the Maple Story US Mesos. Yes , it is not hard for you to combine Maple Story Fame with the Maple Story NX Cash Card. Now many people are interested in the game. Would you like to play it? And how much do you know about Maple Story Fame PowerLeveling? Just have a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__ __ __ __ Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 shit i guess ill share. Here are a few. If i get around to organizing them and finding others ill drop them here later. The greens one is in progress. some friends are trying to settle on a name. The first one (skull) is actually a design for a wood cut out for a necklace. The logo is that font and the skull a lot smaller and to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie'sElement Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Pulled the free Illustrator CS5 trial the other day, had a mate talk me through the basic, pen tool and coloring. The thing is fucking tops, mental potential. * Anyone talk me through how to import colors or textures from pics taken from the t'web? Ie can you totally manipulate any image, pulling bits of left right and center? Basically talking about what this chick (who id do some ill-shit too) does but i think she;s working on Photoshop. http://vimeo.com/9119923 I swear i got these cheesburgers for yo...

terrorlicious Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Just a little something i was messing around with. Also, for whoever asked... You can add textures in a couple ways depending on what you want to do and how complicated you wanna get, there's alot of cool stuff on http://abduzeedo.com/tags/illustrator that i've found pretty helpful in getting a grasp of things, textures being one of them.
