I've been noticing that I haven't been able to colour well lately, so I decided to practice a little. And I came across this lovely lineart of a Chibi Ariel from *YamPuff. :3
Go give her some love too for sharing this adorable piece~ >U<
I really did like colouring this picture - it was a chance for me to try out other shading techniques which I've rarely attempted to use.
I've still got three other linearts I would like to finish, all with different styles.
This one was kind of a 'cell + gradient/airbrush' shading style. Sort of.
I have no idea what the others will be.
Anyway, thank you for viewing! Comments, faves and critiques (obviously only on the colouring for this one ) appreciated!
Byeee~!
PS. I saved my picture in a JPG file this time. How does it look? Anything change?
Wh-wh.. what do you mean you didn't post my comment yesterday, deviantart? Oh well, at least it gives me the pleasure of looking at her again :3 hm well I said something like:
Waaah, she's so kawaii, onee-chan! I really like it! Ariel is so much prettier in your colouring than in disney's original And do I spot the the texture that haneiy used? It does look good though, so that's fine by me. Makes me think that maybe I should do another mermaid and use the same texture, since it's worked so well for both of you, hehe c:
Lol, dA sure loves being a troll when it wants to. XD At least you didn't facepalm when you find out dA double posted a reply or comment.
Hehe, but thank you very much, Niji-chan~ Although Disney's was an animation, and a rather aged one at that. I'm happy you like it though~ And, actually, no. :3 I used a different texture than haneiy, but since water textures are basically all alike, I get why you thought so. But go for it! Draw an adorable mermaid~ I want to see~!
Actually, now that I think about it, it was right after I saw haneiy's drawing that I wanted to look up mermaid stuffs. Alice.... -_-;; XD
Wow, that's an adorable hug! lemme try it waaahh~ you have the awesomest emotes you know, nee-chan?
Well still, its better than the picture books too! Oh, that's awkward, since it does look similar ._. maybe when I have time I'll draw one hahaha, influence!
Oh no, I didn't mean you, I was referring to myself.
Teehee, thanks~ >w< But I have to give credit for the people who use them first. I sort of adopt them when they're that adorable. It helps that I have a source where I find a lot of them too. XD
Awkwardnesssssssssssssss (awkward ssssssss X3) Yaay~! (I understand about the time too. OTL) And yesh, very influence. Or influential, if you want to be grammatically correct.
True, it's not like you created it yourself or anything... although that would be really awesome Aha, secret sources, onee-chan? Want to share them with me? :3
Yessssssssssssssssshhhhh awkward indeed, erhm. I really feel like drawing now. Nope, studying for language exam on sunday ;D
Hahaha! So you want to know, eh? Depends, what's the password? XD
Here you go! [link] I always go to this dA account when I want a quick and good pick of emoticons. >U< Some of the ones I use I pick up from comments I receive, but a lot comes from this place. Enjoy your mass of icons now~
Studying. Good luck on the exam Niji-chan! >n< I wish the holidays would arrive sooner... I'm getting so tired of schoolwork. QAQ This year has been rough on pretty much everyone, at least those I know of.
