There. I updated.

Anyways, I tried some new techniques with this page.

!) I tried my hand at shading in panel 1. Can you see it?

2) In the second and third rows, I disabled the antialiazing. I don't know how to pronounce it, but it is what causes the little gray bars you see in the first two panels. Especially on the bushes.

Then the coloring was not working with me. I got kinda angry.

I think I'm getting the hang of paint.net. I haven't figured out layers yet, but I have found some odd...I guess you could call them tones...like patterns. Then I discovered the recolor tool, which helped with the shading.

So, a few more pages of lots of talking and explaining.

The shading looks good. Shading= not fun

I didn't even notice the gray bars and I think the coloring looks great as usual! : )

I don't even want to think about layers, sounds too confusing and I don't have enough patience for confusing things. oh and.... YAY UPADTE!! : D

Fourth panel is perfect.
I can never draw characters, be they human or animal or whatever, running.

I didn't even notice the gray bars 'til you pointed them out.

This page looks great, the colors are nice and vibrant, and smooth.

And keep trying with the layers, once you really get the hang of them, they'll make your life so very much easier :D

Best comic ever!
this is an instant fave, really

Man . . . How come I draw running as well as you can? His body looks great in Panel 4. (His nose is funny, but I was focusing on the running.) Nice job!

bananakin: Shading=takes too long. When it's smaller, like here, it's not even that noticeable.

Really? The gray bars always stuck out to me. They've been there ever since I started using paint.net.

Ghost the Echidna: Neither can I. I just got lucky. Like a few pages back, when Chika was saying "let's go now" in Beau plains, it looked like she was jumping into the air.

Tyto Alba: Maybe they're not as noticeable as I thought.

Thanks! I'm glad they are vibrant and smooth.

And as for layers...let's just say they won'y show up for a while.

neohin: Thanks! Glad you like it!

Vye Brante: You can draw Ponyta pretty good, so we're even. I ususally don't even try to draw running just because. But this time I guess it was kinda necessary to know what was going on.

Yeah, his nose turned out a little funky. Elongated, I think.

yay updates!

I like the running.

Layers make your life easier than you thought imaginable.

heh first two panels=KAWAI! fear his fluffyness owo heh and here comes ala...Yes I am too lazy to type the pokemons full name ><

Oranges_and_Pears, 25 Jan 2008 06:28 pm

kirbyboy102: Thanks!

Yeah, but my problem is...I don't really know what layers do...

Snowy: Nice. I feel lazy too.

Vokdocotr: Thanks!

Layers allow you to make colors and other edits to a picture without messing with the original picture. That way, you can color over your picture and not worry about not being able to make an edit later. You can just make the edit to the layer instead of the picture.

Oranges_and_Pears, 26 Jan 2008 12:35 pm

Ah. I see. Since I don't draw my pictures on the computer, I guess that wouldn't help me much. Oh, well.

It makes me wonder...

If Team Meanies were being a huge nuisance all the time, don't you think that they'd be removed of their team?

Oranges_and_Pears, 26 Jan 2008 06:07 pm

Well they haven't done anything bad yet, so I really don't know.

Oranges_and_Pears, 27 Jan 2008 09:18 am

Sorry, being lazy. Might have to wait a while to get an update.

Hey, I'm only 13.

Oranges_and_Pears, 28 Jan 2008 02:03 pm

Yes actually, I do.

kirbyboy102, 28 Jan 2008 06:53 pm

^(*0*)^ *surprised* You are 13!? WOAH! I didn't think you were 13!

Incidentally, how old do you think I am?

TicTacToeMan, 29 Jan 2008 11:15 am

Meh, you may be 13, but you're still older than I am. :x

Oranges_and_Pears, 29 Jan 2008 05:09 pm

kirbyboy102: I think you are 15. Or something like that.

TicTacToeMan: O.o

kirbyboy102, 29 Jan 2008 06:00 pm

so close! I be 14. ^__^

tictactoeman- I think you are 9-11.

Oranges_and_Pears, 29 Jan 2008 08:36 pm

Ah! I was close.

Isn't TocTacToeMan 12? I think it says on da profile.

TicTacToeMan, 30 Jan 2008 10:33 am

Yeah, i'm 12.

...but then it's not about me, is it? :x

...and it's TicTacToeMan, not TocTacToeMan. ;/

Oranges_and_Pears, 30 Jan 2008 11:53 am

Oops, sorry. Typo.
