I thought he meant the thin lighter lines over the avys xD
If that's the case, then you need to create a new pattern on photoshop, and then add it as a new layer on top of your avy, prolly using a multiply mode or something.
Here's an example (tutorial).

I was referring to the post at the top of the page.^^
But cool! I was wondering about that as well. Might even try something and see if I can find a simple way to answer his question. If he still needs an answer after your post that is.

Woops. Well, if you are still interested, yesterday I quickly did something. I'm not really good at explaining so just ask if you didn't get something.
Here goes:

Spoiler

So, first you have the outline.

Next you color the arm. The part beneath the sleeve shines through, so you just draw it with color and leave some parts uncolored because the shirt is not completely transparent.

Now you add the color of the shirt and let it flow into the skin. Just combine them. You can leave some parts white for a shiny effect.

Now you add some darker colors to give it a little more depth. The shirt needs shading after all.

Last but not least you can apply some white for the glossy effect. And the shadow of the shirt, which I forgot earlier.

It's really not that difficult. I'm out of practise, so it doesn't look all smooth, but that's the gist of it.

Wow! you're a master Googlez!!! Thanks a lot for the explanation

Re: General Digital Art/Photoshop Discussion/Hangout Thread

Right now I'm trying to get a hang of traditional art, but eventually I would like to try digital as well. What are some good programs that are out there? I've heard about SAI and Painter; I already have Photoshop CS4.

I'm only drawing as a hobby so I don't want anything too expensive.

Re: General Digital Art/Photoshop Discussion/Hangout Thread

Hai Asarii!

I don't think you would need another program if you already have CS4. I guess you could consider getting a graphics tablet/drawing pad to connect to the computer if you want to explore drawing freehand digitally. I'm sure you can find cheap pads that do that no need to go for the high end ones. If you have Corel Painter then that's one of the better programs to use for your needs. You should consider another program called Artrage. Apparently, that's a good one to use for freehand drawing whether it's with the mouse or a pad. Either way, whether you stick with your current programs or purchase a new one; you'll need to spend an extensive amount of time just getting grips with the tools. Then, it'll become a lot easier for you to feel comfortable with drawing, painting or whatever you want to do! =D

I recently came across Mischief.
I really liked it because it's vector based, so you can scale the drawing as much as you like, the zoom is infinite. It's super light, and it's still on version 1.10, so there's a lot of space for improvement, but I think it has potential.
Sharing it, if anyone would like to try it out...

Can you please put your spam somewhere else? TYVM.
Was so excited to see activity in this thread, then it was just you.

Anyways, found a quiet nice looking tutorial for editing photos, but not much time to look into it yet. Maybe somebody else is interested as well. Here's the url http://www.learnphotoediting.net/?hop=catardat

I don't have Photoshop. Could some one make a logos for me?

I made a quick sketch on the main measurements on a female body based on the head size. The whole body would have 7 and a half heads of height:

Spoiler

But one of the main things I think you have to keep in mind, is the relation between the upper body and the femur. The femur is the longest bone in the human body, but you have her knees really high in your drawing. The upper body and the femur have basically the same length. Also, the upper body of a woman is smaller than that of a man. The waist is more thin and higher than a man's too.

This thread's died out ;-;
So let's try and revive it
What is everyone's most proficient area of Art? Mine's Photography

 

[Evil3ye]

I have changed from digital to canvas, which I didn't pick up for at least two years too now. The drive is gone...

 

[Temperance]

@WithYouInSpirit I guess it would be Coloring

 

[Evil3ye]

Can anyone help with shading? I got a pic hanging for a year now in my unfinished works, only the BG left. My brain ain't getting there anymore in concern of light source/falling shades.

Spoiler

Here's what it looks atm]

So obviously the problem is, that it looks like she's hovering above the ground without anything, whereas she needs to have sitting shadows. Anyone has a suggestion how I can make it better, than the horrible attempt I had so far?

If you have a figurine which looks like the character, you could try to use a light to make the shadow , then you take a photo of it and try to do the same thing, no?
No, really i don't know how to work with shadows
Or else you could change the form of the butt?

 

[Evil3ye]

Haha, no I don't. If anyone knows where to get good tuts in relation to that, I'd be happy. That stuff never came naturally to me.

 

[Temperance]

Well, the light should be at the left, doesn't it?
Maybe, make a new page, then copy paste the girl, reverse her and you'll may get your shadow

That was really easy to use and I think it looks already much better. Way better than the blobb that I made myself with my mouse for sure.
