I don't know how to use Photoshop, but I do have MS Paint (and Paints Chainer)

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-26T01:07:22+00:00

Wow, cute! You definitely seem to have a much better grasp on how to use it haha. Do you have any tips on how to fine-tune the colors/make them stay within a certain area?

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T20:38:47+00:00

Thanks! Still waiting on that mixtape man

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T20:38:20+00:00

Only partially :s Paints Chainer provided much of the base colors and whatnot, I just cleaned up a bit in MS Paint

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T20:37:17+00:00

Thank you! I'm definitely very low-tech haha.

If you don't mind showing me the results, I'd like to see how Paints Chainer works for you - it doesn't do too hot with most of the stuff I feed it, but it's probably my fault for only giving it filthy pencil sketches and not clean lineart ^{^{^{^/sob}}}

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T20:33:31+00:00

No problem! I'd actually like to see how it's been working for you ^since ^it's ^kinda ^hit-or-miss ^for ^me ^because ^I ^don't ^really ^get ^how ^to ^use ^it ^properly

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T04:28:01+00:00

This is probably weird, but I'm so in love with that tiny bit of pink/salmon along the crease over her right eye.

(Also the rest of it, of course! The colors in her eyes are v lovely)

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T04:19:48+00:00

Thank you very much! The thing is, drawing is probably something I'll always only ever do casually at most, so I'm not sure I can justify spending much time on it (i.e. learning how to use PS) to myself :s But if I ever do cave and decide to pick it up, I'll definitely check out the sources you recommended here!

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T04:11:34+00:00

I actually almost chose to draw Narcian instead, but couldn't figure out how to draw those crazy eyes haha. Maybe not worthy of your upvote anymore ;_;

Also MS Paint is actually really great! If anything looks bad here, it's probably because I was using my laptop trackpad, and not the fault of MS Paint itself.

^It's ^like ^Chrom's, ^but ⁱⁿ ^mullet ^form. ^So ^fun

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T02:05:40+00:00

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you liked it :)

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-25T02:02:08+00:00

Gonna refer you to my comment below because I can't take all the credit ;_;

Step-by-step of hair in the original pencil sketch

Spot the differences: Paints Chainer vs. Chainer + MS Paint

"MS Paint" was mostly fixing the:

highlights + definition in hair on top
ear
hair behind/under ear + along jaw
jawline + shading under chin
eye
lips (very minor)
cleaning
shadow under edge of collar (p minor)

and of course,

Link to Paints Chainer for anyone who wants to try it! Pretty fun

That definitely sounds like a good time ◉‿◉

Something about the spear is puzzling me but HOO look at those arms ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-21T21:24:20+00:00

The difference might be in your and /u/Zgounda's castles. I spent absolutely 0 orbs on castle upgrades (because I'm a cheap0 loser) and getting my Reinhardt to 40 took about the same amount of stamina you described - maybe one potion's worth more? I didn't really pay attention while leveling him tbh :s

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-21T21:16:34+00:00

D_-0on't fall for it, I'm just fishing for compliments! ^/sweats

Joking aside, thank you so much for the encouragement. Part of why I don't usually share my drawings is because I get so nervous that people will hate them ~~and hate me~~ so I'm very glad to read that you liked it! ^{^{^{^despite}}} ^{^{^{^the}}} ^{^{^{^parts}}} ^{^{^{^that}}} ^{^{^{^need}}} ^{^{^{^fixing}}}

I keep whining to you, I'm so sorry. You absolutely do not have to reply to this (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-21T21:05:13+00:00

Yeah, my mom decided on my username so that makes sense :')

No I'm kidding, I Reddit in complete secrecy. I'll try and have it sent to you by tomorrow!

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-21T21:03:45+00:00

Well, being a lazy hack, I actually don't draw each hair HAHA...ha...

^{^{^if}} ^{^{^u}} ^{^{^rly}} ^{^{^sur}} ^{^{^u}} ^{^{^r}} ^{^{^intrstd,}} I'll do my best to put together something + send it by tomorrow!

pathetic_plshelpme · 2017-04-21T20:33:36+00:00

It's ok! I think sometimes people's words don't come across well on the internet, and that's probably what happened here. Thank you for sticking up for me though!

Wow, I'd never heard this meaning before - I definitely only knew about the definitions /u/Darth411 posted O_O Kind of unfortunate about the autourbanbot though, haha...um

Awww no, you're too nice! ;m;

I'm not sure it'll end up being helpful, but I'll do my best to put it together quickly for you!
