see-through jumper? where do you buy your jumpers from? :stuck_out_tongue:

i dont think we have jumpers like that…mechanics jumpers are the only jumpers i can think of…

I just buy stuff. :beam:

lol. kit how do you do line art in illustrator? i got FreeHand but i have used illustrator and there are many similarities but what do you use? I cant figure it out, i am stuck on bending my line lol.

I’m using the Pen tool to do it rather than the line… So you click to make one point, then click and hold down to draw the second point and curve the line. It’s fiddly. Very fiddly. :sure:

it’s totally unintuitive compared to FireWorks imo. Firstly, once you’ve drawn the lines using the pen tool, you have to be absolutely pixel perfect to move the handles around. I can’t, for the life of me, work out what combinations of keys I have to press to get the white cursor to actually do what I want… and basically it’s a pain. That’s why my first picture of kaneda took so bloody long!

I need some training… kit? :wink:

I ought to start up some classes. :sure:

Omg you’re good! That’s a gift! Don’t let it go waste!
you too edwin! :wink:

another nice pic :)… all drawn from the head i suppose, or is there a place you get your models (in that case i would like to know :wink: )

Little bit of everything really. It helps if I have a model infront of me, at least the first time I draw a pose. Once it’s down on paper once, then I can copy from my original.

Otherwise, it’s a lot of standing infront of a mirror. :stuck_out_tongue:

well i draw from my head, this way there is little chance i copy someone… but this doesn’t mean i would say no if someone would like to model (read: i need a girlfriend ;))

standing in front of the mirror lol, no i’m not gonna do that to the world :slight_smile:

You just have to make sure that no-one else is watching. Otherwise you’re standing there trying to pose and sketch at the same time and you look like a fool. :slight_smile:

lol that’s not the way i meant it :)… i usually draw when no-one is watching, can’t stand someone looking over my shoulder… usually because half way working on a sketch i get this feeling it’s not gonna work out and i would rather trow it away.

What i meant was i prefer drawing intresting things so i’ll pass on drawing me :slight_smile:

You’re right, my folding directions aren’t great on this one - I think I got them much better on the bed / sheet one I drew a few weeks ago. I’ll take the Wacom to this tomorrow at work, that should help get things looking a bit neater.
Just out of interest (edwin and kit) - which Wacom models do you have? (I’m assuming you’ve also got a Wacom Ed) - realistically, what’s the minimum useful size for one of those? I really want one! we’ve got quite an old one, but it’s a mac-compatible, and my dad’s mac is sooooooooooooo old… it leaves a little to be desired!

both of them got the Graphire2 ({so do i but i never really use it cause its uncomfortable to me cause i am a lefty)

Yep, what he said. Graphire 2. Middle of the range, but still more than enough to do whatever you need. :beam:

Graphire 2’s are the coolest toy ever :love:

just put in a bid for one on Ebay… Ā£10 :beam:
