Drawing/Sketching

When drawing/sketching designs such as clothes, hair, weapons, etc. The basic thing to know is the corners. To make it easier, call it cornering. It means to make it look sleaner, slimmer, whatever. Heres are examples.

A NO-NO

Once you finish cornering.

A YES-YES

More. Cut the corners! Cornering.

AND THATS IT! REALLY! WHEN YOU SHADE(COLOR), YOU CORNER COLOR BY COLOR. I'LL ADD THAT LATER.

OK! onto cornering with color.

Result of cornering.

Cornering with a dark yellow.

Cornering with a lighter yellow.

One more cornering (sigh* your tired? me 2)

OK overview, 3 layers of cornering and one background base.

TADA!!!

NOTE: If the image you are making is really big, use a color twice(so its really thick), use more color scale beside 4, or use the dark yellow thrice, yellow twice, and light yellow once.
