easy!
-first sketch with pencil
-trace with ballpoint
-use eraser leaving the ballpoint
-scan
-vector/colour it in macromedia flash
-shade/highlight it in photoshop

presto! you have yourselves a quality artwork ;)

And that's not too shabby for a first attempt, though i think the dragonhead thing all up front should be more in the back

eww.. ballpoint >_<  and if your gonna ink on the computer, skip the ink stage..use the sketch as your base.  But personaly Id rather just do the whole thing in photoshop.... like so:

50billions minutes in photoshop well spent

I was wondering when you'd show that picture again....  Ã,¬vÃ,¬'

BTW, ta hell with vector/coloring in Macromedia Flash.

Inkscape works 10x better on multiple platforms, and at only a fraction of the cost (="free").

http://www.inkscape.org/

Examples of what can be done in Inkscape or available at redrackham-san's request.  -v-

Added after 1 minutes:

HOLY $@#%!!  version 0.45 is OUT!!!  ^V^

*runs off to download*

oooh hoho this coming from you, the biggest shameless promoter of them all!!  Youve gotten a wee better, but it used to be that you would post the same picture in like 6 threads to make sure everyone saw it, and then if someone that has been gone a while shows up youd post it again in what every thread they posted in :P  Hush you or its into the frying pan, I havent had dinner yet.

Ahhh, put a sock in it.  I know you're blowing things WAY outta proportion cause it wasn't 3.1-sama that I drew.  `v'

Betcha if I drew her with nothing but her ribbons like you wanted to, you yourself would volunteer to smuggle her into Wakachan and Niijura!  ^v^

Now if you'll excuse me, I've get new vector blurring effects to play around with.... -v-

Mmmm,... blurring....  -.-

It's still not a perfect one....i really like the effect on captbrenden's pict.

Btw...i'm uploading my first OS-tan pict....it's still black and white...
I'll coloring it later.

The first pic has a very gorgeous and pleasant effect on the eye.  ^___^

Second pic is downright hilarious -- I'm itching to see the colored version.  ^v^

BTW, not sure if you personally work with any vector tools, but here's my last pic to show you what can be done with Inkscape in case you want a fast way to clean lines:

Though personally, /Cchan thinks your lines are fine.  -v-

looks good indeed, the ripples in the dress arn't quite right in the first one but I didn't notice at first glance...but the hair is stubby it looks a bit strange

2nd picture is great!

@Xyanide
Yeah....i notice it too.
But that's the weakness of my trick.....

@C-Chan
um....yesterday, i got old vector based program. It's Corel Graphic Suit 12....but i have no idea on how to use it because it's been 2 years since the last time i used it.....

Inkscape....i got snail-speed internet....so.....i have to go to an internet rental to download it. But i haven't got the free time to do it....

Hmmm,... if Corel Studio  is anything like Adobe Illustrator, it MIGHT make your vector drawing experience unnecessarily complicated.  '__';

Probably would be best to stick to Inkscape, except for the unfortunate part about the download speed.  -___-'

The program itself is light -- but it has to ship with its own desktop environment so that's what contributes to the 20MB file size.  Back when I was preDSL, I would usually leave something like that running for about an hour or two on the side while I do other things, but you might understandably have issues with that.  Especially if this is to test a new form of art style that may or may not work for you (there's only a 50/50 chance you'll like it).  ^__^'

I guess we can leave it to the curb for now -- but if you do happen to come across a copy of version 4.5 and above, definitely let me know.  ^__~

Not bad, but with some plus hours it becomes better.
