Hey Kingacer!

I have long been in awe of your drawings: it even inspired me to do my own race and website ([link])
Anyways, i was wondering: how do you draw your creatures etc.? Are they scanned in, or are they done on illustrator with live trace? I have illustartor cs3 i think, but i don't know how to make my creatures look good, like yours!

Any helpful explanations/tips will be extremely helpful!

Hi Masonatronic!

It feels great to hear that you like my artwork and that it has inspired you to make a website. Your link doesn't work though, I can't click on it. I'd really like to see it though, could you try again?

About my drawings. I usually draw my creatures with pencil. I mostly use mechanical pencils with 2H, HB and 2B leads. Sometimes I use a tortillon to blend the shading.
When colouring a drawing, I use Gimp, wich is similar to photoshop (and to illustrator cs3, I think), but can be downloaded for free.
To draw and colour on the computer, I use a pen tablet from wacom. Those things are really usefull, since it feels more naturally than drawing with a mouse, and you can apply pressure with it.

I advise you to look at as much artwork that you admire, and try to find out how they did it. Look at lots of tutorials, and buy books that can teach you how to draw better. Learning a bit of animal anatomy (skeletons and muscles), is really usefull too. And the most important thing is to practice alot ofcourse.

Let me know if any of this helps you.
And don't forget that link, I'm really curious :)

Cool!

I never knew you had to use that much equipment and preparation to complete artwork on the computer successfully, but i guess once your set, the race is forever!

I appreciate your curiosity for my site! Thanks! [link]
Tell me again if it doesn't work!

Thanks!
