My Lion King Forum

Izzy, Zee and Timitu. Three characters based on three people in my life that are still important characters in my art.

What program do you use to do the artwork? All I use is Photoshop CS6

For this one all I used was Photoshop CS. Sometimes I used other programs like flash MX and such... But Photoshop CS is my normal choice anymore. Once I learned the pen tool I don't REALLY need flash anymore as I only used Flash for the inking anyway. But it does come in handy for making very quick cartoony pics sometimes. (Both programs are like 7 years old as they are the ones I got when I was teaching. But they still work just fine for me so I still use them.)

THATS HOW YOU DID THE OUTLINE! THE PEN TOOL?!???!! I've been using the stupid paint brush tool this whole time! Thats why my lines are so thick and bad looking! Thanks for the info! I'll definitely be using the pen tool more often!

Timitu is handsome

The pen tool is a hard one to get used to. If you are having a hard time with it look on youtube for tutorials on how to use it. It takes a bit of practice once you understand it and you will get better and better. I stayed far away from it for a long time till I lost flash so eventually I had to learn the pen tool or not have the smooth lines.

Awww it has been a long time since I have heard that about him. He does not show up that often in my art as it has been a very long time since I last saw the person he is based off of. But yes. Yes he is.
