You don't need prismas man, don't waste your money on that nonsense. Just get a 50 pack of crayola thin tips for $5.00 and do your backrounds with near empty cans of paint or model paint.
^^^he has a point, just buy some cryola for the backround (i bought rosa' markers, they are cheaper then cryola, ) but and use that to start with, once you get pretty darn good switch to prisma's, and paintys
hahahahaha 1) he said he was going to steal the prismas, no money is wasted 2) doing sketch backgrounds with paint has got to be the most stupid idea ive ever heard..if you cant figure out why kill yourself 3) prismas are extremely good (although not the best). the "waste of money, you dont need that shit" comments usually come from people who cant use them well.... edit: narc thats a nice character but (going only on what ive seen) your characters all have similar facial features and are all drawn from the same angle (3/4 view to the right). i guess for bombing purposes its sufficient to have 1 sort of character but for your own developement you should (if you dont already, i dunno) really explore facial structure/features.
and that's why having 1 charicature down really well is great for bombing...itlooksnice and the point of bombing is repitition. but like RMA said...it's a trap you can fall into. "hey, i can draw this one face, im good at characters". much MUCH better to be REALLY good at characters, in the sense that you can draw any face you want, male or female, distort the features and structure however you want, and have it look nice. doing 1 type of character is stagnation. same goes for everything artistic. when you're satisfied with one thing and you stop progressing you should just give up. if you have done 1 reeeaally hot piece...you could just stick with it and do that same piece over and over again. they would still look nice, but whats the POINT of doing a piece if its the same as the last one? best to keep changing it up, cause while every change isnt going to look better, overall you're advancing.
