Speed Drawing 1/2 Prince - Swallowtail Butterfly

[Yume9181]

I've heard the second song like ten times on cti tv. It's pretty famous in China (hint hint)

[Salahare]

@Yume9181 Yes it is! In fact, if it were not for its popularity I doubt it would have been referenced in the manhua 1/2 Prince.

[honeyrinvocaloid]

it's by Mayday not Ashin

[Salahare]

@honeyrinvocaloid Actually, Ashin is a member of Mayday and he wrote the song. :)

[HopeIsForAll]

i fell bad for artists... it must take so much time! and how do you even know how to do it! it's so incredible!!

[sessyfan101]

:O you did this when onemanga was still alive!!! T^T i miss onemanga! DX btw you are soooo pro!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[xRagingDragon04x]

I wish this series had an anime =/

It'd be awesome to watch their adventures via an anime. But then again, It has to be done by a good company that doesnt butcher what half prince stands for.

That means to include everything including the blood.

[1996Amadeus]

How do you draw like that .. ? What program do you use? What Add-Ons(If you use any) ? Because, damn, I want for a while now to start learning how to draw things like these on PC, but I can't find the right programs and everything .. And damn .. This was amazing !

[SkyMerisaSpy]

And yeah I cnt use GIMP all that well either... cant even edit a picture.... I really suck..♥ ^^ Glad theres ppl like you♥ :D

[SkyMerisaSpy]

[sessyfan101]

GIMP had a heart attack because Prince is to smexy!! it couldn't handle it!!! >:D BAHAHA!!! i love it!! it is now in my favorites!!! :3

[totaly2cooltiff]

That was pure awesome sauce! I don't even know how to use half the stuff you used on GIMP...but I'm gonna go draw something and find out! XD

[sMxy666]

all i can say is, fuck you GIMP! , ruining art sense weneverz! ... its truely amazing, and im reading 1/2 Prince atm , (just crossing this bit so decided to youtube it :P ) and i delighted if ur pic was on it ^^

[CynicalBlackRaven13]

Wow! this is amazing! You're super talented...digital art is so hard....T^T

[Phireye]

Oh my gosh...you are so amazingly talented!!! Everytime I try to create an artwork on one of those things I always get confused with all the tools are the colours JUST aren't right....but you...T^T

LOL wish it hadn't died on you. All that hard work...

[weirdpianist]

Wah! Salahare-san, you're amazing (it's me, the idiot composer Ayumi from HLP)

[animefan294]

ARG!!! TELL ME!!!!!!! what's the name of the second song in teh video!!!!!!!! i keep on forgetting it's tittle and it's driving me insane!!!

[victorqtr]

OMG! so talented! T^T

[starfire899]

omg.... wish I could draw like that! *cries from awsomeness* )=,D

[kimiki123]

wow that is awsome. 

[bebengka00]

AMAZING! Are you a manga/anime illustrator? You're so good!

[335pinky533]

omg, you drew that on a computor? with a mouse? wtf?

[denkitekaizoku]

DAMN! How can someone have so much talent?! It moves me to tears.... T__T

I can't even draw with a pencil. And you can draw with a mouse! Damn it! Overflowing talent! HAHAHA! (lol yeah I'm overwhelmed sorry @_@) And If I hadn't known better, I could easily mistake your black and white drawing to actually be from the manga.

[Salahare]

@denkitekaizoku Ah, you are mistaken! I use a tablet to draw - a very old Wacom Graphire 4, in fact. I am not so talented as to be able to draw so well with a mouse. ^_^; Thank you for your praise.

Talent is 73% persistence and 2% gift. Then it's 20% cursing at yourself for not being good enough and 5% copying other people's work.

Ok, maybe not exactly that, but it's a rough estimate of my personal experience! Just keep drawing, and you'll eventually beat yourself into greatness. :D

[14tetsuya]

@Salahare Same dude i think thats most artist sadly T-T

[Saddenscar]

Your amazing..

[Pegcity03]

THAT IS AWSOME :O (clap clap clap)......cool

[chineseboi12]

very nice. i see you use gimp. do you use a drawing pad though?

[InFiNiTeDrEaMeR9413]

U ARE TRULY AMAZING!!!! (o.O)

too bad they shutdown the site onemanga :'(

[Salahare]

@InFiNiTeDrEaMeR9413 Actually, you can still get your 1/2 Prince manhua fix at mangafox.com, or you can google Odd Squad Scans and go to the origional scanlator's website to read the newest chapters! If you can't wait and don't mind online novels, Prince Revolution! is also translating the novels the manhua is based off of.

[Loleifos]

@InFiNiTeDrEaMeR9413

Mangapark is the bst because you see all the pictres on one page (lol, what?)

But they're mising some chapters

[xiightx]

that drawing of yours is so awesome! it sure would make a good wallpaper. XD

you're awesome and thanks for recording this! :3

[MichaSin]

[PocketK00kies]

[shippo52]

you are a genius! i wish i could draw like u!! sorry it didnt work out

[SilverWolfoftheSnow]

Wow! The final drawing was super awesome! Such talent ^ ^

[Salahare]

Thanks! Your slideshow was nicely timed and fun to watch, too!

[SilverWolfoftheSnow]

thank you :D

[PureMoonlightSong]

nice!!

[Salahare]

@uterallindenbaum

Aw, don't say that! It took me years to get me at the skill level I am now, and I'm still learning. For instance, I LOATHE doing backgrounds, let alone planning compositions the way professional illustrators do... :D

[deadgirlwalking123]

OME!!! I am so beyond jealous! How did you get so good? And how long did it take you to draw Prince?

O_o

[Salahare]

@deadgirlwalking123

The video is sped up from just under 4 hours of recording. I only took another hour and a half recovering from my last save to end up with what's now on my DevArt page.

[Avestria]

your soo good! this is cool!

[ficfan3484]

Awesome Picture, it's so sad it didn't work out.  Where do you get the thing that you used to make it?

[caveman3461]

heh heh makes one wonder what people would do if this 1/2 pirince was made into an anime series or something

[TheTwerp123]

OH MY GOSHH!!!! youre so awesome!!! hahah its like the reall thing!!! i mean the reall prince!!

[Salahare]

haha thanks. ^_^

[HeartlessArchangel93]

....that thump i hear at 7:19...that wouldn't be your head hitting the desk would it? XD

I can't believe the gimp gave out then! Of all the luck....but the picture was gorgeous, so at least you have this record of it.

[Salahare]

@HeartlessArchangel93

Haha... not my desk. That's my fist hitting my head. I regretted it soon after, though... XD

[123idabb]

that is sooo COOL!! awe some:D

[lennehart]

UWAH! ur so good ^^ hmm... do u use a tablet? o3o; I always used gimp yet.... -looks at mouse- its quite difficult .__.;

[Salahare]

Yep. It's a really old tablet, though. O_O I've had mine for almost 7 years. Drawing with a mouse is difficult but possible, as my friend I met in college impressed me with when they showed me. Incredible skill, that.

[W81HotPotLickin2nd]

how do u actually DRAW it? do u use the mouse or a magic wand or what?

[Salahare]

I wish I could just wave a magic wand around, lol. No, I use a drawing tablet. Specifically, my old Wacom Graphire 3. You can't get it anymore, but if your interested in getting a tablet I reccomend a Bamboo. I've tried it out and it's really good. :D

[W81HotPotLickin2nd]

no, i mean do you use ur finger? a chopstick? a knife? how does it work?

[Salahare]

It works by holding a fake pen over a sensor to simulate drawing with a pencil/pen/bursh. So it's like drawing on paper, only it's on the computer.

[caveman3461]

if you hadn't of given that warning, i would have lost a decent pair of headphones and maybe hit my head on the power box behind me

[Salahare]

Haha, glad my warning helped. ^_^

[Sho0tDaMoon]

lol thanks for thw warning xPP

[thecompleteanimorph]

D= I would strangle someone to be able to draw like that.

[11xSanityFrayx11]

i love this manga!!! and im sorry that yur GIMP crashed T_T was a great drawing anyway =) where'd you learn how to draw like that?

[Salahare]

mostly on my own, at home, reading Christopher Hart's How To Draw Books from the library. Around High School I learned to actually draw the kids around me to get better at people and clothes. College - well... Life Drawing does wonders.

But really, I learn by copying. I read manga I like, and try out the styles. When I was really bad at drawing, I'd freehand by eye. Now that I have better knowledge of the human body I can redraw characters any way I want. Even my own!

[Keusike]

:O I died a bit on the inside.

and I loled when you wrote "I hate waiting for the blur..." cause I was like, whoa, that thing is kinda slow...and this video is sped up! And it sucks how your GIMP crashed on you D:, but the picture looks beautiful! -shiny eyes-

[Salahare]

Nooo! Don't die! T_T You're a good person and people will miss you!

Yeah... old computer means slow processing speed, which means when you want to do anything like motion blur on even the small canvas of 2k square pixels it takes it's time about it.
