Zone Line art Guide

[ceserthen]

Well some people are starting to freak out about a simple bit of line art so I made this tutiorial. The first thing you need to understand is line art is simple you just need to get a hang of it. Line art on zone is not much differsnt then other servers but I will guide you throught his simple process here. below is a set of examples to look upon

STEP 1
First you need to decide what type of weapon you are intending to make (pistol, rifle, heavym, etc...) next make a frame to base your weapon off of seen in sketch #1. Bassicly small for pistols, larger for rifles, and well, differently styled for heavy (you'll have to experiment yourself to get this one right.) I chose the pistol.

Step 2
Now its time to decide the basic size of the gun and its general body size. Basic here no real work.(seen in sketch #2)

Step 3
Now, its time for the extra additions which will make your stuff look better. bassicly add aditions to your gun so it's not just a square (seen in sketch #3)

Step 4
Now what I did here is decide what I wnted my gun to look like and edited the actual body of the gun to not make it plain. In this example I wanted a shelled looking type gun. (seen in sketch #4)

Step 5
The final step before shading, bassicly add anything that might make the weapon look better. For this I added a little bar at the bottom and changed small things. (seen in sketch #5)

Remember this is just a method among many. Just keep on trying this and changing things up untill you get it the way you want it. Hope this helps.

That didn't help at all. We need a how to. How do you make it round at difrent sizes how to do things from angle how to make prspective better. It's 1 thing learning it with a oencle and a hole other thing with pixles. where do you put them. unless you look at your pictures on a level where you can see pixle by pixle how to do it. I still have know idea how you added that wire or how to position it..........

Sometimes that works. I just showed you one method.
