hi there, so this is my first post here in the 2d artwork section. :D
i first draw the outlines of this plant that's standing in my room with a pencil. then scanned it and colored it in photoshop.(unfortunately with my mouse cause i yet did not have the money to buy myself a wacom, so it was a bit of pain in the ass. :( ). this is a project for school where everybody had to choose a topic that covers a part of his personal environment. so i decided to draw plants cause i got quite a few of 'em and cause i like to draw organic stuff. :) this is just the first of a few pics that i am going to paint. btw. i am the only one that makes use of the computer in this drawing class, first thought that i wouldn't be allowed to do so. :)
so what do you think? i am really totally not sure about the background, even dunno if i just leave the background plain white. and i thought about adding a bit of DOF, well any c&c would be greatly appreciated! :D

I really like the lower part of the plant, Very good, the upper part is a bit strange I think (maybe 'cause the leafs lack consistens). or maybe not enough contrast... don't really know

Actually I prefer the white background, If you do a background try something simple, with alot of DOF maybe...

Good start, continue :) !

(and yeah, that's really good for a mouse ! anyway there are selling some new wacom that are not very expensive. )

thx for you comment najd! :) i think i'll go for thw white background, too. as for the leaves, i was going for this translucent look. well i'll just experiment a bit with the contrast and maybe add a few smaller, brighter and more hardedged highlights. i just decided to search for a wacom on ebay and found a few. i think i am gonna buy the wacom intuos 1 or 2 , A 5 size. would this be a good decision and is the intuos 1 still good or should i go for the second intuos edition?
thx in advance! :D

Hi Wolpy!

Erst einmal...verdammt gute Arbeit!!! Und das mit der maus..WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!:thumbsup:

Ich arbeite noch immer mit meinem guten alten Wacom Graphire A6 Format.... und ich bin sehr zufrieden. Würd mir auch nie ein größeres kaufen...Gewöhnungssache..hehe!

Falls Du ein Intuos 2 günsti ergattern kannst...dann greif zu.
Es hat einige Verbesserungen gegenüber dem 1er... höhere prezision, druckempfindlichkeit gesteigert etc.

Die Hauptsache ist Du kaufst eins von WACOM. Da hast Du den besten support und außerdem sind die meisten 2d Applikationen auf WACOM ausgerichtet.

Alle anderen Grafiktablets kannst Du getrost vergessen. Naja,...wie heists so schön: Oft kopiert, doch nie erreicht!

In diesem Sinne

Cheerz:beer:

Genau! Wacom = Lebensfreude :D
Egal ob Intuos 1 oder 2, beide sind gut.
Viel Spaß damit!
