hahaahaha! I agree! I can only go up to torso length before things start to look like a scene out of the exorcist xD Legs twisting, feet mutilated and all that :3
lolol! Tell me about it , it suddenly starts turning into ......... a massice scribble out session <.< i sorta do a start sketch which is usually as messy as hell then add detail and sketch more as I colour it in xD
haha xD And then in the end, I just decide to crop the legs out And I like your method I just do a faint sketch of where everything will be and blob all the colour and details on top xP
-points above- haha we do the same thing! That's what happened here, cept her tail ^^
And your method works~ I like doing it that way as its more freedom and it gives you a sorta painted look ^^ , I openly admit... Cell shading will forever be beyond me but so far out of reach that it rubs my face in the ground, and now I'm being random xDD
