No need to be disheartened by it, its a fantastic picture!

I say she's kinda leaning back against the tree, giving her balance by friction against the bark, like a cat rubbing against the corner of a sofa. XD

I am also sucker for Lisa and nature pictures, its nice and the pencil version is also very well drawn. This is definatly a big step forward for you man. Loving the water effects too, I still need to figure out how to do that...

Looking forward to your future projects!

Yeah, didn't mean to make a big deal out of it, sorry if I sounded harsh. >_<

I used the same grading method as in LisaCon (the method I always use ^^), and a 7.5 out of 10 means I think it's a really good picture, my comments was just to let you know that it would be excellent (around 8.5/10) in my eyes with those minor problems fixed. For a 9 or 10 out of 10 it would need some more details, but I don't rate any picture that high unless I think it's really amazing.

Perfect Harmony Coloured

Wow... what a great progression..... i like it........ It is not the best technically done drawing but it conveys the feeling and mood of the scene perfectly, which is all that matters. The little squirrel  poking his head out is extremely cute and Lisa's expression gives the mood of peace and serenity, just looking at the picture and imagining it makes me feel relaxed. Although the wood has the wrong texture I actually like it, it seems glittery and dreamy in a way.

You have done an excellent job there, really looking forward to more.

As for photoshop you can actually set the selected area to overlap, so it lessens the white edges. Been a little while to remember what the tool is called as not used photoshop in a coupl of months, need to re-install after a hard drive gave up.

Hope you have lots of fun trying out textures and stuff in photoshop as i have had

Don't worry abou that Better late than never, that's what I say

Anyway, thanks

Now, I'm working on two more pics. The sketch of my first pic is done. Only colour is needed. But I haven't started the second one yet. Oh well... In my opinion, the first of the two pics I will post here, is the worst x_x And you'll see why I say this... (I don't know why I'm saying this if I haven't started the second pic yet. -.-')

2/3 more days, and I've finished the pics.

Thanks again

Don't think I forgot about you Thanks. If you could remember the name of that tool, you would save me time in colouring I'm kidding, I'm kidding I like a little more work. In the end, it makes me feel good about what I drew and coloured

Hey people.

I have two more sketches to share with everyone. The first one I think is good, and features the Simpsons newest pet: Mr. Squashable, I know his eyes give the idea of the chipmunk being a girl, but I repeat, it's a he The second is a bit bad x_x But now let's focus on the first one.

Here it is:



And the second one. Now, I know it's a little bad, and when I say a little, I want to say: a lot. But I think Homer turned out rather nicely.

Here it is:




P.S.: No coloured versions today, tonight's my prom night so I can't colour them x_x I'll get to it tomorrow.

Thanks Your explanation makes a lot of sense. But, like I said previously, the texture on the tree looked good in my opinion :/ Oh well, I'll keep your explanation in mind Glad you liked it.

about Mr. Squashable 

hey!!!  really improved your skill to translate expressions ... need to take more energy and continue ... you have talent ...

the  model (is this pic) of this character is a little stretched .. however facial expressions are the best point.

good work! Mr "El Barto"  ^-^

OK those last 2 are a HUGE improvement. Nice to see how people progress in thier drawings......

Mr Squashable is adorable, looks great in the hoodie, and the pose gives him attitude too. The eyes are fantastically drawn, even down to a shine in them. Needs a tiny bit of work on proportions, one foot bigger than other.... but I only noticed that when looking again at the picture. Could easily be rectified by fleshing out the right hand 2 of his "toes" on his left paw (right in picture).

Ok the second picture.... Another fantastic one. The expressions are spot on. Moe is drawn very well as is marge. As Kasper said, Lenny looks a bit squashed into the thought bubble but otherwise is also well drawn. Car is less well drawn BUT this focuses interest on the higher detail and effort of the characters more in my opinion, so is good. Homer has a couple of minor proportion problems, his neck looks a tad too thick and his body too small (a mistake I always make myself in drawing). But gotta say overall the picture, and the wording on it make this one of your best.

Would love to see both in colour.

Anyway, that tool i was saying in the previous post, when selecting an area to colour, I use the "Refine Edge" button on the top menu, need to play about to get things right bith the radious, feather ect and and not overdo it, especially on thin outlines. If someone has a better way of doing it I may be doing the totally wrong thing myself (i am a relitive newbie ot Photoshop), but this has worked for me!
