@Yajiko92 how is your line art different from the original image?

[Yajiko92]

@javatar2r Original image? You mean the sketch I made before coloring, or my visual reference? (Sorry if I have trouble answering your question, this video is almost 2 years old and I use different techniques now, then I did then.)

WOW GREAT VID BUT GET THE MIC THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOUR MOUTH....

[Yajiko92]

@Dajehu this was done last year. I've got a way much better mic now, that one wouldn't pick up shit unless you were really close to it.

Wow that was awesome, did you draw the actual picture or did you use a program?

[Yajiko92]

How are you able to keep all of your layers visible on 100%? I've been looking around and trying to figure it out on my own, but I just can't seem to.

First time I saw that picture I was like 'Holy Crap! Thats a really cute picture of Cosmos! Did he actullay draw that!"'
