Kokou's Avi Art
...Or atleast her attempts at it...


Blah blah blah...
First off I've never opened an art shop before. I mainly do art randomly and for friends. Anyway I haven't done avi art in over a year now and I am kinda wanting to get back into it.

Headshots are what I am best at. I'm not good with poses or anything like that. Hopefully I can get my boyfriend to help me though, he's awesome at coming up with poses and stuff.

So here comes what you have been waiting for...The Art!

I didn't have a scanner for the longest time so all art was photographed, cleaned up, and colored on the computer. I hand draw everything! Rarely do I draw straight to the computer.

+AVI ART+


Cheese Str!ng

User Image One of the first pieces I ever did. I didn't have anyting other than paint at the time so the whole thing was cleaned and traced in paint.

Sirita

User Image
This has to be the one I am most proud of. I actually did a body shot and it came out really well. I used Paint Shop Pro 8 to trace the lines and color.
She used to have an art shop but I'm not sure if she still does.

+oRaNgEaHoLiC+

User Image I did this one for a friend I made in a charity thread. I'd never done anything with elf ears or a hat so this was one big first for me.

Manga Whore Dimouri

User Image I tried a new style of coloring on this one and really like the way it came out. I want to do more like this sometime.

Flux

User Image Yet another random one. I don't really like the way his eyes came out. They look like he is drunk or high. But then again the grunny could be the cause of that so I guess it works out.

[Random Name]

User Image Tried different shading on the hair. Not to happy with this one. It just looks too plain and the shading is messed up.

Xx_Renata_xX

User Image This is the first and I believe only avi art I've done completely on the computer. I did this shortly after I got my tablet and Paint Shop Pro X. I need more tablet practise but I am pleased with the way it turned out.

+BANNERS+


Manga Ho's Golden Laurel Quest

User Image Banner I drew using my tablet for a friend's quest. I didn't realize it till I had saved and discarded the workable file that I had misspelled Laurels. sweatdrop






















A last blah...
I'm always looking for advice to make my work better so if you have any lay it on me! I'll atleast try your suggestions once. heart

And please DO NOT quote this post. If you want to talk about a certain drawing please use the bolded name beside it. It'll make it a whole lot easier and less annoying for everyone.

Thanks. I've actually worked on the eyes for years, trying to create my own style and whatnot. sweatdrop
I have pages upon pages of eye studies.

I use paint shop pro X to color. Started out with nothing but a mouse but now I have a tablet.

As for the actual process...well that's a secret. wink
Kidding kidding. I start out with the base colors using the paintbrush tool. Then I create a new layer for shadows (Multiply setting in PSPX) and switch to the airbrush for the details. Same goes for the highlights, new layer and the screen setting. Other than that I just place the detailing where I think it needs to go. If it doesn't look good I erase it. This is where the different layers comes in. I can erase on one layer without messing up the base colors.

Seriously though....for the most partI just wing it. The eraser has and always will be my best friend. xd

EDIT :: I actually think all but the last two were done in PSP 8....I think...I don't remember how long ago I did those. I've only had 10 for about a year now....
