I've always been captivated by it. Tablets, i can tell you mate, are a lot of fun to use. They are difficult to get used to at first though. That's bad luck about Rodger though, hopefully he'll remember this week. By cel shading i mean mimicking the colour effects that are used in cel based animation, such as Disney Movies.

I am yet to try out a tablet, something on my to do list. I asked Rodger about it but he forgot to bring it :| I have not heard of the term cel shaded, what is that all about?

I painted by tablet then using pen tool to make path selections to smooth out the areas(highlights and shadows), and in some areas i turned the selections into gradients. I originally wanted to try something cel shaded but it didn't turn out so well.

Well I suppose it is ok just nothing I am really proud of. I had a look at your mascot, I like the photoshop version... did you follow a tutorial for it? Ah thanks.

I think you executed your illustration quite well to be honest, even though you say drawing isn't your strength. Oh and i saw "Good", ever the optimist i suppose.

N Design actually was where I did my first illustrator tutorial, they are both great resources. Stephen, I first saw good as well but now every time I look at it I see evil, a pretty clever little illustration. Thanks regarding the feedback, always appreciated. I agree about the mouth. The project was due today so everything has been printed off but I will play around with it still. Kelly, well it wasn't really a bore, it was actually pretty fun, it is just that I am not a strong drawer so it took a while for me to come up with workable concepts and drawings.

Cup-half-full kinda person. And it's nicely done. I don't think the execution of the Pshop version of the match is bad. Maybe the brief just didn't grab you. It sounds like you tried turning the concept inside out a few ways, which is great, but you just didn't find a direction that could light your own fire. Ahem. I remember many profs who seemed to delight in throwing projects at us that were utter bores. When you get out of school, you say "I'll never do that again," then you find that 90% of what's out there is a bore unless you make it something more. Then suddenly, it's all a thrill and a challenge. So that's what all the boring projects were supposed to teach us!

Does that make me good? :) Like the evil mascot, especially the photoshop version... the only thing I would change is the mouth... the shape doesn't seem quite right somehow. Might also be better if it wasn't simply white... yellowish maybe? Just a minor point seeing as you're asking for improvements. It's an excellent illustration. I saw good. Does that make me good? :)
