Here's my first attempt to do full sketch & colors using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro.

These Sketches can be found on my Otaku-Streamer's Album.

Took me longer than expected, I'm doing this as part time (off & during work).
Estimated hours of work (for this sketches) at least 8hrs or less.

Wow, it looks good, i like the middle one best.

[judarest]

Actually forgot to do the Highlight on Lucy's hair on the last image. ^^

Then that explains it, even though the middle one is a little edgy and there's some color out of place on ribbon, i like it :)
The last one's a little dull also in the eyes.

nice one! even though had a little mistakes ! i like it too! :D!

[judarest]

I switched tools between the 2nd image to the final outcome, that explains the changes in colors.
This is my first attempt, merely an experiment xD
I don't event know how to use some of the brushes Sketchbook Pro provided.

The color became dimmer as I used more blur to the shadow.

Good job! I like your drawing! :) I want to learn how to do digital art too, can you please tell which site did you download the program? and is it free? *Hope its free* XD and some tips?

Your sketch doesn't look like as if it's your first time drawing it. May I know how long have you been practising? Your sketch isn't too bad by the way.

First time using Sketchbook pro with that sketch.
I know Autocad, and its similar (yet stripped down). So I am familiar with some controls & its interface.

However, during free time irl, I have my own personal sketchpad, I draw from time to time but not that good, just pencil sketches & doodles.

the white part make it brighter to make the eyes less dull? XD you forgot the eyelashes on her left eye xD

lol..I scrolled up just to check lucy's eyelashes coz of ur comment xD


Personally, I like the second one better. I like how u did the shading there better than the last one. Though, it's rough and abit messy. The last one is too blurry for me I think you used the blur tool too much it didn't blend well on some other parts..like her hair where it's barely noticeable and on her eyes, which made it look like kinda 'dead' D:

With your sketch, I think you did an amazing job C: And with your first time using the software you did great. *cheers*

The left shoulder is a bit sharp compared to the curveness of how Hiro Mashima creates them, It's a really great sketch nonetheless.

You say that it was your first time using the autodesk sketchbook pro but you also did mention that you practice a lot with you sketch pad so it's obvious that you'd get such amazing results.
When you'r drawing a character I think that it'll look more appealing if the way it was drawn mirrors how the original creator depicts it. However it is a fanart so whatevers I suppose... lol

Showing the steps you took made me laugh in a good way. There are just a few things that i noticed though, first was the sharpness you imployed and the other was the roughness of the lines. Yes, the lines are not as smooth and refined so that might be one of the issues that you are gonna need to work on. Compared to the sketchbook pro you aren't using a pencil and a paper so the decrease in friction when you draw affect your skills and he outcome of the pic.

Keep practicing and you'll eventually produce amazing results
