Journal Entry: Wed Apr 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

...

No, I don't have any; keep your pants on.

I was thinking about making some though. Not right now, or anytime very soon, but eventually i might make something for you guys. This prompts me to ask if anyone knows what the best video capturing tool is suited for recording this kind of thing. Yeah, rather than show you guys the "how to's" with a few images and text, i think it may be more effective if i was able to display how it's done in real-time with me voice guiding you through the process.

This is just a thought, mind you. It's not for sure i'll go through with it, what with my busy schedule and all. Maybe i can make myself available for tut commissions later so i can afford to do this stuff, but for now i only want to release one tutorial that covers the most FAQ i've had as an artist... "how do you produce such clean lines?".
This question just doesn't want to die. It keeps coming back, especially when I tell people I don't ink.

So the purpose of this journal entry is to ask if anyone knows a thing or two about video capturing tools (cos i honestly haven't a clue). Would a webcam be suited for capturing such fine details on a piece of paper? Or if there are alternatives, let me know. Any info would be helpful.
When i can make this tutorial also depends on the cost of the thing. Being a poor college student, i dont have that much cash to toss about.

So yeah, it's a maybe. If anyone has a clue, let me know anyways so i can decide whether i'll consider it or not. Thanks.

Before you critize someone walk a mile in their shoes, this way, your a mile away from them and you have their shoes.

Wow, I've been meaning to comment here for a long time. ^^ Mind if I watch you?

I absolutely love your gallery and art style. I mean, seriously, you're better than a lot of professional Manga artists I've seen. (And...I've seen a LOT.)

I aspire to be just like you and get my line art as pretty as yours! I hope you're sucessful!

As our love crystalizes and grows, so, too, do our hearts. They are a manifestation of our love. In time they are given over to the one who inspired them, who wished them happiness.This is the ultimate expression of our Love. ~Crystal Heart

Hey, I've been watching you for a bit and feel a bit distant, but I've finally decided to throw you a comment, as I'm usually NEVER on here anymore. Thing is, I'm going to toss another into the FAQ box under the "How Do You Draw Such Clean Lines" shelf and I'm terribly eager for a tutorial. Keep up the amazing work, you inspire me greatly. :3

Comparing yourself to others is just as easy as
getting run over by a bus, and just as damaging
too. Don't compare, it never helps you get better.
