Oh. I've been using the pen tool but it doesn't seem any different apart from the type of the line it creates. How do you make a vector line?

Ok! Here's my finished product...



I think it turned out well for a first attempt. Few questions though based on how I saw Vimir use it in the stream:

1. Which tool produces the pencil/ink-like effect? I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.

2. While colouring, how did he manage to keep it between the lines >>

Downloaded, but having trouble starting since all my circles end up really blocky >> do you use a stylus or something?

Uhh, will this work?

Anyway... I'm thinking my current approach needs some work. I'll probably fiddle around trying to produce something without glancing over at a guide every 3sec, though if someone could point me in the direction of a tutorial for drawing a sitting animal I'd much appreciate it.

Oh, and what program was Vimir using in the stream? I've never seen something like that before.

Thank you very much for the advice. It also turns out that the stream became alot more useful when I figured out how to skip ahead/rewind >>

The result is this:



Something tells me I need to rethink my approach ><

I'll start some fiddling on my own now, but does anyone know where I can find a tutorial for drawing sitting animals?

Ah, thanks. this should help. And I haven't actually drawn anything before other than a few tracings =/
I've written alot though. I have a shifti page under the name LloydBrunnel.http://shifti.org/wiki/User:Lloyd_Brunnel

Edit: Just checked the link you provided. Handy, but I guess I was hoping for something more along the lines of this => http://www.howtoodraw.com/fox-how-to-draw-a-quick-drawing/ and the stream is too long to use properly, which is expected I guess.
Oh well, beggars can't be choosers after all. Thanks again for the link. I'll see what I can learn from it.

Thank you. Technically I don't actually need to know how he started, but if I could find a step-by step guide to drawing something like his "Cute and Fluffy" picture, then I can adapt it to my own characters. One of the weird things I can do well is alter, but not design. Not sure how that works really.

Umm, hi. I've recently gotten the urge to try my paw at drawing, and I've grown rather fond of Vimir's style. Since the sources we learn from influence our style's, I figured asking where he learned might help me mimic it in my own way... does anyone know or is this getting creepy-stalkerish?  

Edit: Changed "writing" to "drawing". This is what happens when I make posts late at night >>

And I changed the thread title... -- Tvorsk
