I don't know if they have them on SAI, but every good graphics package should. I'll do a screenshot in a bit. I have to go now, but I can do it in a couple of hours.
EDIT: Here it is:

Taken from my Fakémon. It's not done yet, but it shows you what a nub is.

Good job everyone. All's well, the group is active and making good art.
That's legit. LJ is back Wednesday, and the group can be all active.

Great... But that'll mean he'll lose that red userbar...
BTW, when I said tomorrow, I mean Monday.

@ P0KEVORTEX- Nope, haven't seen any nubs.


@ Everyone- I have a project for Language Arts in school. All the classed just finished reading the book Freak the Mighty, by Rodman Philbrick. It was a great book. Anyway, we have to create a booklet containing all the work we've done about the book, and we also have to create our own cover. And guess what? My teacher said we could create the cover on the computer if we wanted to! I'm doing that, the cover has to represent the book but it can't be the same as the original cover. Here is my sketch, if you want to see it. It's supposed to be Freak the Mighty "slaying" a dragon on one of their "quests". (BTW it will only make sense if you've read the book)

cover (not finished)

I can't draw people >.<

It will be finished tomorrow, since the project is due Friday.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

To help with drawing people, I would suggest working a bit on proportioning. Now, this isn't the way to go if you're looking for something very stylistic, but for realistic or semi-realistic humans, here are some general rules:
  • Legs are the longest part of the body, and account for almost half of the total figure.
  • Arms are always shorter than legs.
  • The end of the arm (fingertips) is just above the knee; the elbow is just above the waist.
Just some pointers, they're pretty easy to remember and can do wonders with helping you draw people. Aside from that, that's really cool! I don't get it since I've never read the book, but the compostition is solid as is the idea. Keep it up!

^ Thanks for the tips. Too bad I'm already coloring it. >.<
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

I'M BACK.

I haven't done much art, but here's a link to my latest blog post with some stuff:
LYNX
On the mask I used these foam sheets that you can get at Hobby Lobby and Gouache.
i REALLY like gouache, I think I'm gonna start doing some Kmain inspired canvas stuff.

All looks good, I'm AMAZED at how active this group seems to have gotten in my absence.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Look LJ, no scars or earrings ;p my latest contribution. The character requires very little color so I didn't feel like coloring one. (Though it mighta been easier in the end lol) Still I think it looks okay. Edit: Fixed something small.

Yay!

Pretty nice, the nose seems a little off center but other than that the drawing is fine.

The background is pretty bad IMO though, the color is distracting and the random white pixels aren't doing any favors.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Does anyone have Fakemon ideas that they would let me try?
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Not right this second, but I'll let you know if I think of anything.

I'll just spit out some random ideas that pop in to my head:
A water buffalo (Ice type?)
A cow skeleton (Yes please) (Ghost? Dark/Normal? Just Normal?)
A shaman thing (Maybe wearing a cow skull?) (Dar Type?)
A woodpecker, with like some aviation gear (Goggles, helmet, etc.) (Fighting/flying?)

I really like cow skulls lately.

Click to expand...
I've thought of this and sketched some stuff.
I was thinking of like a fire shaman, Fire/Dark, like maybe a starter, but what should the shaman be? I was thinking a Salamander or some sort of vultureish bird.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Yeah, Idunno, I was kinda picturing a bird.

Or maybe a fox, that'd be wicked.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Ehh, I left them thinking it kinda looked like a night sky ^^
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Maybe if it was a bit darker.

No offense, but it kinda reminds me of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

If you like it though, I have no problem with it.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

I can see why you needed to change the mood with a background, and nice work!

Anyway, welcome back, Lordy!

As for Fakemon, please can you avoid doing a Toucan, as it's my Fakémon for the contest and I want to stay original.
You could try doing a hedgehog, but try and avoid making it look like Sonic. I have more ideas, but that's the first one that springs to mind.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Isn't it nice when spammers pop up on a random thread.

Anyway, I made some plasticine Pokémon a couple of days ago, and I might upload the pictures. I did Teddiursa and Chandelure.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

I've got to draw that fakemon for Cofagrigus's contest.I'm thinking about making a Fire hummingbird or an Imp.Blea.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Mine's a fire/flying toucan called Touchar, but I think I lost my png file. I might miss the deadline. :(
