That's really good. I've been working on this one for such a long time and in the end decided that adding color was just too tiring (if I wanted to make it good with proper shading). So...it's not as nice as the others, but still not bad in my opinion.

That's WAY better than anything I could do in Paint. The best I've done is a maniacal-looking Easter bunny dripping blood from its buck-teeth.

And yes, it sucked. But it was highly amusing.

How do you do that in paint?!

I can barely draw a straight line. haha

I use the curvy lines feature most, so that's why most of what I do comes out pretty smooth. It's just the more detail in the picture, the worse it looks. I'd be happier drawing a big version of a single character.

That is one awesome picture TheGreatness. I find it weird how they included Gohan's rival from school and that blond chick in the title card. As if they were going to play a big part in the show.

Edit: I guess title card isn't the right word, I should have said the intro.

lol I don't know but if you notice, they're a bit more spaced out. Besides, Sharpner and Eresa became Gohan's friends later on. Here's one that I did that I actually like the way it turned out.

Awesome, I draw a lot on Paint as well, but only because I've never taken the time to search for photoshop and install it. I really don't mean to be rude but I have a slight suspicion that you may have drawn on top of a screen shot and then colored it in etc.

TheGreatness25 · Post by **TheGreatness25** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 8:18 pm

It wouldn't look nearly as good if you did that. For one thing, when you colored it in, you'd have to take ages to make sure that you don't mess the lines up. And whenever you color, you have to be SUPER careful. Plus, you can't use the Background Color thing, which is what I use. Nice guess

lol Trick is to take a lot of time. It's like if you can draw it in real life, you can draw it on Paint with a little bit of patience and time. But when drawing it without reference, it's a lot tougher. So if anyone has any tips on how to draw without looking at something, I'd REALLY appreciate it

Just incase you were wondering, I really meant no disrespect whatsoever.

No, no it's fine. It didn't seem disrespectful to me at all. Just more like trying to figure out how I did it. Whenever I see a good picture, I do the same thing lol

And yeah, I've been drawing DBZ since I was like 11 years old, and I can draw a good picture, but it seems that I can never get it to look stellar. When I was younger, it even turned out better than now. If anyone has any advice like a way to draw. I mean when I started, I didn't even use a diagram. Just drew them with clothing and everything. Then I started doing figures before drawing clothes onto them. But it seems the more I try, the worse it looks. I have trouble with proportions and can't seem to get around that.

I tried. The shadowing didn't come out all that great, but eh. First is the influencing shot

Reminds me of what FUNi does for their various DVD covers/box art, merchandise etc. Except your work is 1000000x better.
