Request- this is a request to the one who accepts requests to draw something for you, that is, this is art that someone makes for you for free
Today, the word Request is used not only among artists, but also among ordinary Internet users. Some people are sometimes interested, request what it is, because they cannot understand the essence of this concept.
For example, citizens who rehash"Various popular songs receive requests under their videos to do something similar, but from the repertoire of another artist. In fact, this can be called a request, that is, a kind of request, but do not confuse this with another overseas concept, such as "challenge". Usually, it means a challenge thrown to the artist that he cannot draw, any art. These are the usual showdowns of creative individuals who have fun as they can. It is better for outsiders not to go deep into them so as not to spoil their nerves.
Just know that most citizens use requests, which we have already discussed. Many beginners and even eminent artists post various requests on their pages as a way to show their level. And this interesting lesson was started by a user under the nickname "Chilik". It was he who for the first time on his page offered to give him tasks and requests. Soon, other artists and illustrators took up this initiative, starting to accept requests from visitors on their pages on social networks.
The most difficult thing to complete requests is for those noob artists who have not yet developed a specific drawing style. Despite the fact that the request is made for " Thank you", this does not make it any less important request. Therefore, before you start accepting requests, you need to prove yourself, collect a portfolio, and put it on your page.
Some artists work as web designers, and fulfill the orders of the employer, and therefore, in their free time, they want to prove themselves from the other side. From here comes the desire to accept requests that allow you to take a break from the works of the righteous, and enjoy your creativity.
After reading this article, you learned the word Request it in drawing, and what it means. And now you can explain the meaning of this overseas term to your acquaintances and friends.
Hello, my name is Wave! And this is my lineart tutorial!
I will be using the drawing of Megaman X and Zero, as well as other drawings drawn by me in the Lineart genre!
Heroes X (Megaman X) and Zero (Zero) belong to Capcom (C). Megaman 2 was my first video game.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Wave! I am a girl who loves sci-fi and plans to become a manga artist or colorist for Marvel someday!
In this lesson, I will talk about many things at once, so the lesson VERY verbose. The main focus is on digital drawing techniques.
But just because it's a digital technique doesn't mean it can't be applied to a regular drawing too!
There is not much difference when drawing ":)" on a computer or ":)" on paper!
But still, I won't go into too much detail on the drawing process... I'll teach you my techniques that I use to achieve crisp, even Line Art drawings. :)
TRADITIONAL MATERIALS
Rulers!
Rulers should always be at hand if you are drawing in perspective! The need for straight lines should not be underestimated. Others will always notice if you used a ruler or freehand.
Capillary pens
Capillary pens are perfect for outlining! Among them, I have no favorites ... I mean that everyone has their own preferences in choosing a capillary pen. I have used pens from brands such as Sakura, Microns, Prismas, Mars, etc. Just choose the one that you feel most comfortable drawing. I usually use 0.05 and 0.1 nib thickness pens.
Paper
If you ever find yourself in an artist's specialty store, you will find special types of paper sizes that are used to create drawings.
Of course, you can use regular printer paper too :)
DIGITAL MATERIALS
Graphic tablet for drawing
Tablets are amazing inventions!
It's like drawing on a drawing board, but the board is actually your mouse!
Factors such as pressure sensitivity and pen drawing make tablets almost indispensable for artists.
Paint Tool Sai
Paint Tool SAI is a digital painting program developed by the Japanese company SYSTEMAX. If you do not have this program yet, then you can find the download link in the Paint Tool SAI section :)
The main advantage of this program is the ability to trace vectors.
It's okay if you don't know what Vectors are - in this tutorial I will dwell on this topic in detail.
photoshop
photoshop photoshop!
It is by far the best photo editing program at the moment (at least I think so. :))
The main thing is that you have a tool Brush (Brush tool), as well as the rest of the tools that I will use in the Digital Line Art section!
SCANNING
Okay, let's say you already have a finished drawing!
It is carefully drawn, there are no unnecessary details and it's time to scan it!
Each scanner has a different interface, and I can't cover every known interface, so I hope you understand what I mean.
bitmap
- Grayscale
- color
- DPI (dots per inch)
First, set the scan mode to PROFESSIONAL.
In other scanners, this mode may be called: "Advanced Mode", "Working Mode".
Or you already have this mode set by default, and you just have to choose DPI and IMAGE TYPE.
First, let's deal with DPI :)
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch - Dots Per Inch. Accordingly, this means how much information your work has.
When you're drawing, people may sometimes ask, "Why don't you make big drawings?"
This is a difficult task, but at the same time, in this case, you will be able to draw more or add more "information" to the page!
This is a drawing of me and my other character - Suzaren!
It was scanned in COLOR AT 400 DPI.
400 DPI is a fairly high resolution, but it's ideal for printing. The higher the resolution (DPI), the more printable your drawings will be.
200
- fairly low
300
- golden mean
600
- perhaps too high;)
The higher the resolution, the larger your file size will be.
REMEMBER, you can always compress a large image, but you can't enlarge a small one.
Why? Well, as I said, DPI is the amount of information. If you take a small image and try to enlarge it, the computer won't be able to do it because it simply won't have the information it needs.
Obviously, we will scan a color image with the Color Image setting. Some scanners may prompt you to select 8-bit or 16-bit color. Don't choose a color higher than 8. Always use the lowest setting for the color, as there's really no need to choose 16-bit - it will just increase the file size.
What if I want a very crisp black and white Lineart drawing?
I scanned Suzarena in Black and White mode at 400 DPI. Please do not confuse black and white with SHADES OF GRAY. These are two different settings.
Note that depending on the brand of your scanner, this mode may be called Black and White Document or even Bitmap.
BLACK AND WHITE vs. GRAYSHADES
Hey! Stupid! Black and White and Shades of Grey! I told you that you are two completely different modes, only without fights!
I haven't edited anything :) As you can see, the Grayscale mode scans all gray areas on the sheet...even the paper itself. And if you look closely, you can see pencil marks.
When scanning in Black & White mode, the picture is scanned in white and black only, without any gray casts.
You can adjust the ratio WHITE And BLACK colors using "THRESHOLD". Just experiment with it :) When you move the threshold slider higher or lower, you add either more BLACK or WHITE to the drawing.
Click on the image to view the image in full size and 100% quality.
Okay, okay, you probably already understand the importance of high resolution, but I want to demonstrate this to you with an example.
The second drawing was scanned at resolution = 100 DPI, in Black and White mode.
High resolution is very important when scanning a picture in Black & White mode.
Using the Grayscale Mode:
If the drawing has pencil shading.
- If you have shades of gray that you want to keep in the picture.
Using Black & White Mode:
If all the objects in the picture are outlined and you would like to get rid of the gray areas in order to scan only sharp bright black and white lines.
If you are using Photoshop and want to edit a drawing scanned in Black and White mode, then CONVERT IT TO GRAYSHONES.
IMAGE > MODE > GRAYSCALE
Make sure you do this before you start editing the image. Accordingly, if you work with color, then convert to RGB :)
IMAGE > MODE > RGB
DRAWING TIPS. LINES.
I just want to remind you that this is NOT a drawing tutorial. Drawing is a very long and painstaking process. But I will give you some hints that helped me.
Life experience in drawing... Simply put - the more you paint pictures of real life, the more realistic your drawings will be.
Instructors may advise you to just go outside and start drawing what you see or attend artist classes where you can draw from human nature...
But not everyone can afford it...
Luckily, we have such a thing as the "Internet"!
