If you mean...Disney Duster wrote: Steve, was your tutorial...the answer to my questions?
...then yes, because what I've done above is how I colour them, but at the moment I'm not in a position to colour other covers, as I don't even have time to do my own. If you've any other questions though on something else or something I didn't cover properly above, please ask and I'll try to be as much help as possible.Disney Duster wrote:So...could we talk and maybe you think of coloring some covers I draw or you help teach me online how to do it myself?

I'll just use Off-Model Esmeralda as an example. So, here's the scanned drawing.
For the rest, I use a Wacom graphics tablet
Yeah dawson should be in here, no doubt, hard to find a decent image though, same goes for basil that's why I used this ''shocking'' picture, sorry if it offended you in any way, well better luck next time I supposeDisney Duster wrote:
REINER, I don't like your Great Mouse Detective cover because it looks like Basil is showing that little girl he watches over (Olivia) a gun and will show her how to use it, or worse, it looks like he's going to kill her. Also, the dog is so huge and I don't remember him being a talking character or a big character at all. I think the dog should be more where Ratigan is and then Ratigan and the bat and that sidekick for Basil (Dawson) are more in the foreground.
But it looks so obviously like that to me I can't believe you couldn't find a better picture.
Perhaps you could provide me with better material, if you have time off course, thanx anywayDisney Duster wrote:It didn't offend me...unless you intended it to look like he was going to kill her.

Unfortunately I don't have such a steady hand as you do and my lines are shaky. Just want to know what type of wacom graphic tablet you use, I know there are several in different price ranges.
To be honest, I don't have a very steady hand when it comes to the line-art in Photoshop - I actually draw the line up to 10 times (!), quickly moving the pen in a quick swoop (with little control), repeatedly clicking 'undo', and eventually I go over the intended line on the pencil sketch. That way, the line flows and isn't shaky, but it took ages to get the hang of it. I'd sure hope not! (Thanks for the compliment though!)Mowglie wrote:I hate waiting for the Pinocchio PE! It would be fun if you made one before the cover art is released then we could compare yours to Disney's, sadly I bet yours would be better!
Well, glad to know it isn't just me!
I have an A5 Volito2 Wacom tablet, but I just checked their website and they don't sell them anymore! From what I can tell, the most similar one currently on the market would be the A5 Intuos3.
Big swoop doesn't really work for me, I try to be precise, do it by bits and pieces. I have a small wacom tablet with a hard-plastic cover that isn't available anymore either. I know Intuos, I use one at my work, but it's really pricy. Bamboo seems to be a cheaper alternative, but I've never tried it.
