Hey kids? TIME TO LEARN! Tutorials!

 So, a few people asked me to do various tutorials. And because I just love approval and showing off my skill, I totally complied. 

This is the first video.  Right here on youtube. It's about how to draw clothing. It's not great. I wanted to try doing it via webcam, but it's reallllllyyyy not great. Next time I try to do one, it will be using my professional camera and tripod (yes, I totally own those things).

So, let me know what tutorials you guys would like to see. Something about inking? Expressions? Etc?Speaking of tutorials, the beloved illustrator of Lackadaisy as created a WONDERFUL one about expressions. Don't be shy! Check it out!

Nice job Isa! I wouldn't mind seeing a tutorial on inking and how you do dynamic drawing (that's something I've always tried to improved.)

SWEET!

I'd like to see a tutorial on body parts. Like how to make it all proportional and stuff. ;)

That's always a good subject!

I've always had issues trying to get different people or even genders. Maybe something on distinguished characteristics?

perhaps. Good suggestion.

I am disappointed! I came expecting to hear squeaks, and didn't hear a single one! The webcam wasn't too bad though, I was able to see the drawing very well most of the time. Of course, an actual camcorder or camera with video recording capabilities would be better, no doubt about that.

Silly editing question though: Did you just take the raw video file and upload it, or did you do any editing first? I'm such an editing addict anymore, I couldn't help but think how awesome this would have been if you had scanned and included a still of your drawing at the very end, just so we, your devoted viewers, could see the finished drawing in high quality. (If you ever feel brave enough, it's easy to do such things on Artemis.) :D

Everyone else beat me to the punch, but I should have asked the same. Was there anything you didn't understand from my silly little tutorial, or anything else you would like to know?

I didn't edit. The talking was so fluid, I didn't want to break it down :D

Naw, your tutorial is pretty complete, but thanks!

Um, um, um,I dunno! D:

*flail*

Oooh, expressions!

hahaha, did you check out the expression tutorial one I linked in the post?

Not yet, been at work all day. I will, though!

That tutorial was great (and you have a cute voice, too).

I'd love to see you do a tutorial on inking and coloring. Your inks and colors are fantastic and it would be cool to see how you do it step-by-step.

Inking I can do. Coloring, I might not. My coloring style is pretty basic. It just looks awesome because of the inking.

Nice video. The webcam quality did not bother me at all, maybe except for the fact that the framerate made it impossible to see how on Earth can you just sketch up a correctly scaled body so easily. ;) I always fail at that spectacularly.

hahah, maybe i'll talk about that next time.

YAAAAY! I'm going to go check it out right now!

Hey, I saw that turorial that Tracy had on dA. Loved it, even if I don't do any drawing.

And I'll be sure to check out the YouTube vid when I get home!

It took me forever, but I finally got to check out your tutorial along with the expression DA link! Awesomeness! ;)
