Custom sprites - recme - 06-08-2011 Here it is C+C? RE: Custom sprites - Cobalt Blue - 06-08-2011 you really really REALLY need to considertaking your time to read a tutorial about anatomy. for a start. no forget it. you shouldn't consider, you should do it. like drop this for now, read that tutorial and come back later when you have taken some lessons and studied a bit more how the human body works. RE: Custom sprites - Lord Melchior - 06-09-2011 I agree with fuchikoma. Knowing how to draw anatomy in advance will seriously give you alot of aid doing sprites. If you want to be good at something art-wise, you should always master the realistic drawing first, and then, and only then, focus on a specific style. RE: Custom sprites - recme - 06-09-2011 So instead, I don't sprite anything. Because the last topic was ML3/BIS and they say I need to practice my Custom sprites. And now... RE: Custom sprites - Chris2Balls [:B] - 06-09-2011 that's not true. there are things that don't require that much knowledge in anatomy that you can do. you've forgotten a huge chunk of things you can do. RE: Custom sprites - SKELTON S. SKELETON - 06-09-2011 isometrics are a good way to pick up color composition and shading RE: Custom sprites - isael-21 - 06-09-2011 It's a way hard to make a good anatomy-based sprite at the first time, Read some Tutorial like Fuchikoma said, then you'll see how it works, It's not just M&L sprite style, there's a lot of styles you can use, Art is a way to find your internal creativity and show it to the world, that's what I think =D So, don't take it so bad, I'm a victim of the Anatomy thing too, and I didn't give up for a long time, Find your way, if you like M&L style, study it till you feel satisfied, then, start doing sprites till you get one resembling the style, You choose what you want to do... RE: Custom sprites - Rakia - 06-09-2011 I do hope you realise that everything everyone has said are suggestions that you may choose to listen to or not. However, suggestions have come from some pretty amazing people, if I say so, so I would listen. Practice (practicepracticepracticepracticepracticepractice) anatomy, that's the only way you'll get better. RE: Custom sprites - recme - 06-09-2011 Okay. I'll practice as much as I can. Thanks you all for the suggestions. RE: Custom sprites - Marth - 06-09-2011 Get a copy of Bridgman, and a copy of Richter and you're good to go, while there are online tutorials for free in anatomy most aren't very good. Bridgman will give you the geometric construction and foundational skills you need, while Richter will give oyu the literal anatomy of where things go(while knowing every little detail about anatomy isn't completely necessar it does help later on when progressing to more detailed works, which is why I need go back to Richter and use his book daily.) RE: Custom sprites - recme - 06-10-2011 How much does Bridgman and Ritcher cost. Are they free? RE: Custom sprites - Rakia - 06-10-2011 Well I haven't found one that is. You can bet your botched anatomy they're helpful though RE: Custom sprites - Marth - 06-11-2011 both are about 20 bucks. RE: Custom sprites - Cobalt Blue - 06-12-2011 i'd rather close this for now. if you get to study those books and feel like brining more content or new content, feel free to open a new thread.
