Silver the hedgehogby ~SonARTic

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Games

Please excuse if there are two of these, someone has stated that >< DA is having a spaktard fit and isn't letting me view the first one I uploaded a moment ago O_o This is why we need the older version back! It was better and had no flaws! Ugh..

------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to upload this separately cause I love it so much! <3

This will be part of a bigger piece for *BlueBead's art trade, but since you cant see it all too well in her piece (cause the opacity is low

) I wanted to upload it separately as its own piece X3 Silver ish so cute! I want to draw him more often now

Silver the hedgehog (c) Seeeegaaaa!
Piccy (c) Me! Cause of the initials! See?!

i'm just curious... how did you make the shading so blended??

that is just plain cool!

and i really like the effect on the eyes ^^

I really should make a tutorial on colouring soon, many people have asked about it e_e XD But quickly, its just by selecting parts individually e.g. one quill at a time, then using a very big soft brush to shade it with a black 10% opacity colour c: .... I should make the tutorial

Thanks very much ^-^ ~

*AokitianWolf Oct 2, 2009 Student General Artist

so you just use a huge size of the soft brush of whatever color and use that?
didnt you have to do something else for that?
did you have to do tons of erasing?

sorry if i'm asking too many questions...
i'm new to Photoshop. so i'm just trying to find out how to get the more blended shading to work XD

~SonARTic Oct 11, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

Just a huge size brush, with a dark colour

No erasing at all needed XD Sometimes maybe if you get into a corner and the colour you've just used makes a horrible line then smudge may be needed, but thats it. Or the burn tool to make things darker quicker, for things like shadows

Its okay XD When I first started out I tried to use many tutorials on here, they really help :3 But its nice to experiment with your own unique style XD

i'm just amazed on how people make it so blended like this!
i tried more than 100 times! (so many that i lost count

)

i'm still trying to figure out how to get the blended shading, the effects, etc. with photoshop to work.
i dont remember what day i got photoshop.. but it wasnt that long ago

~SonARTic Oct 12, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

I'll really really have to make a tutorial for you, I must! XD I'm never good at explaining things well without a picture of what i'm doing in front of me, so I will force myself to do that soon >w<

*AokitianWolf Oct 12, 2009 Student General Artist

you dont have to if you dont want to.

Wha...?! Why force yourself?
dont worry. i'm not good at explaining things neither

~SonARTic Oct 12, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

No really, I would have done anyways X) I really do need to force myself though, into an addicting game at the moment when I really should be DRAWING!
