My advice would be to start working on simple shapes. Create a flat circle in photoshop, paint on a really quick light source and work from there. See if you can make it look 3D. Then try other shapes, experiment - see what happens.

I find drawing from real life is the best, if you have a little bit of plasticine somewhere, just mould a strange shape and point a lamp at it. Then draw what you see.

Oh, and never shade using black and white. Shadows are not naturally that colour unless your whole picture is in greyscale. Use darker tones of the colour's you're already using instead of overlaying black and white.

Good luck :)

It's a little different to the one in the thread (the lamp), but that's to keep true to the contest's current theme.

*Spazzes* Ohmahgawd you do customs?! I would love either an Absol, Umbreon, or Giratina, if you could. Preferably with a dark color scheme. I dunno. Surprise me, I guess. That is, if you're still even taking customs. I know it looks like it's been a few months since there have been posts of that kind of art of yours here, but. I just found your thread, and your art is amazing with that static-y fuzzy look. I looooove it. ♥

Somehow forgot to add this to my thread. My second card for the project :P
I'm happy with the background, but I might redo those flimsy arms. Also RinaNichole, I'll get that done in around a week or so, I'm kinda busy atm. You like it pixel style, like my earlier work? I'll do that style then :D

Great card Eagle, love the background on it. One of my favourite cards in the project. Although I do think that about a lot of the cards, it's such a cool project.

Something doesn't like right about the hands though. I think it might shading? If you look at this image you'll see that the green things on his hands kind of shade his palm.

[Eagle4]

Eurgh I've been lazy.



Inspiration: What do you call a spanish donkey with a lawn on its back? A grassy ass! HAHAHAHHAHAHA

So yeah, this would've been my CAP5 art entry, what do you guys think?

Ugh Rina Nichole if you still want it I'll do your request for you this week-end (hopefully), sorry :(

Also good spot Corkscrew, will edit later.

EDIT: Mos brought this up on #smeargle so I guess I should post here, I used this as reference.
