TUTOR ME!

[FruitTree]

okay, I'll be real carefull with this, since that discussion about help threads is going on and all but I believe it's allright if I post this see,
I'm looking for a mentor, I finally found out the main reason why I practicly never finish a game.
the reason's simple: I know to little of AGS.
therefor I'm looking for a mentor, to help me.
generally I'm looking for some one who can help me enhance my AGS skills aswell as my drawing skills (I really want to learn how to use something else then MS paint).
so if you're:
-pretty good with AGS
-know how to work other drawing programs but paint
-are a nice bloke
help me out here!  
you can contact me through private messages or email (fruittree86@hotmail.com) or just simply reply here.
that's all for now!

Hey man, feel free to ask me any non-arty questions whenever you need too. And get MSN  

[Minimi]

Hmm.. people seem to never have heard of things like online tutorials, google... hmm.. btw.. im creating my own tutor at the moment for beginners at art

[Privateer Puddin']

a tutor is different, it isnt just a step of instructions, its one to one help

[Archangel (aka SoupDragon)]

Yeah, before you insult an old hand I'd suggest you look up "tutor" in your english->dutch dictionary, minimi

[Evil]

I'm always free to do art tutoring... Though it would most likly me tracing like this... Maybe I should make a tutorial... Anybody interested in one?

[Andail]

I'm creating my own tutor at the moment for beginners at art

I would love to take a look at that tutor. Is it male or female?

Fruittree, I hope someone you'll find someone to help you...someone with lots of experience

[FruitTree]

you mean someone like you?
to be honest I'd be honoured
and evil what kind of drawing tools and programs do you use?
it looks real nice!

[Goldmund]

Make a tutorial, Evil. I like to look at tracing, it reminds me of french comics and the style isn't widely used in games (apart from Uncertainty Machine).

Fruit free... I´ll tell you what are we going to do. My girlfriend is pushing because she wants me to tech her in drawing... We will do it together, as soon as I finish my exams I´ll start a post about graphics improvement. It will be as follows:

1) I´ll post a pic (Photo cartoon)
2) I´ll publish my gf´s version and everybody who wants will have the chance to upload his version to.
3) I´ll say how to arrange the style deppending on what I´ve seen. (In a "loominous style", making my own version and what I did to fix the mistakes...)
4) You´ll publish pics till we get what we want.

Do you agree? I finish my exams in early September.

[FruitTree]

sounds like a great idea  
though I'm not really looking to improve my drawing skills, I want to learn other drawing programs  

but I still like your idea, and I'll surely participate
(is that correct english?)

[magintz]

Heh, I know AGS like the back of my hand...




... that hand being the one I lost in Nam which I havn't seen for several years, but I know quite a bit, but instead of starting a new thread, I'm looking for an art mentor, one to help me develop general drawing skills, such as perspective, shading etc... and general practicing. Could someone maybe set me examples or exercise's and coach me along?

[Nacho]

Yeah Fruitfree, we will work also drawing paintings, we will make all the process, from paper to pixelization, for create backgrounds from nothing.

I think it could be some kind of "curse" or something... Search for pupils!

P.S. Yur inglish is perfekt as long as I can andestant.

[Evil]

Well, the outlineing thing is basicly outlining a photo with an AA line tool... Then there is the coloring... Mostly a long thing, not hard... I'll throw something together...

[FruitTree]

@magintz:
you should also participate on farlanders course!

@farlander:
cool! warn me when the time comes!

@evil:
like goldmund says, you should make a tut about tracing it's a skill only few have mastered
