yeah ^^ well sorry about that ;P
but seriously im lookin for some graphic easy to use program, moustly for the efects like shading
im a TOTALY NOOB in pixel drawing, i can draw stuff but not in paint or any other stuff like that (pencil,paper, thats my tools)
anyway nice tutorial
Well, it is not a tutorial per se. I haven't exactly explained what exact tools or programs to use. It basically shows you the steps you could take and that it does take a little patience to draw something up. Still, most graphics software have similar tools. It takes some experimentation, especially if you're a "noob", don't expect super results straight away. I've seen people start out with simple sprites in MS Paint, and after a few weeks or months they'd be drawing some quality images using a number of programs and features.
If you're not that good drawing on a PC, you could draw on paper, then scan in the image and edit it from there. Good (free) software to use is Paint.NET and Gimp. You probably also have MS Paint on your computer.
Now back to your image. It is basically a straight line with some curves... Why not continue working on it untill you have the outlines of a ship?
Is this really that much different?
5.)Added some straight lines, like piping, to break with the overall organic shapes of the ship. Increased the contrast. Faded in the overall image so that details would blur together, then sharpened it afterwards for the desired effect: (oh, and added vanilla weapon hardpoints)
It is starting to look the part. But doesn't quite look like a vanilla ship yet:
Although... With this colourscheme?
