Animation Source Forums

hey guys, iv just started drawing fan art... i did my 1st drawing today but i just copied a picture on the pc and then just tryed to draw it the same way... i guess you guys would call that "ripping" but i was wondering if i said it was not myn and i just attempted to copy it, it would be ok?

also...

i was wondering what programs you used other than just drawing them and scanning them into your pc(if you do, do that). I am very fond of the program "Adobe Photoshop CS3" as i use it for work some times and i used to do alot of graphics for forums ect, as you can see from my sig and av.

I saw some gradients that where obviously from a pc program. I was wondering how you did this? can you also draw in these programs?

thanks alot

I currently use Photoshop CS3 too but before that I used Paint Shop Pro X, until it broke XP.

For practising I'd suggest using Screenshots and using them as refs, there's no problem in that, I did when I first started drawing properly.

There's also DeviantART for good tutorials on body structure and anatomy.

you meeen snap shotting a still from the movie and drawing it out? sound like a great idea

ok so here you go my 1st draw at copying a drawing. I copyed Whitewolf(uk)s Kovu picture as it was my 1st go all credit goes to Whitewolf(uk) .

hope i did ok for my 1st drawing even tho i copyed it.


I did not trace this picture.

thx m8.


i drew it on the back of a letter

Not bad at all!
I'd say work on the anatomy a bit more, a good way I find is to go to the Lion King Source Images from any of the 3 movies and look at the screen shots and try using them as reference.
If you use one piece of paper and draw mulitple parts of the body, say 1 page for paws, another for eyes, another for the whole head and so on you'll find it's easier when drawing a whole body picture.

Again I'd recommend deviantART for tutorials, I don't have links because my computer is being slow but just typing "Lion tutorial" in the search bar gets some awesome results!

Keep practicing!

thanks for the tip m8 <3. really helped me out
