Why Zan/TaiZan
Well, it wasn't my original maraname..
I had another account and then I forgot Mara, but found back to it. Tho I didn't remember either username or password.
I made this account as some sort of temporary account, and didn't know two accounts were illegal, so of course the other acc was closed xD

TaiZan or Tai-san who is the real name, is one of my favorite characters from the series The Tribe (from the late 90's)

My first ever digital graphic!
[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/949739_orig.png[/img]
(27.12.2011)

But before that (before I knew there was a graphics forum)
I made this:
[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/ad2dc9.png[/IMG]

This was the time i figured after 4 years there was
a graphics forum! How exciting!
I sell my first graphics (cats) for 5000 MP each ^^

After a while I realize these are horrible.. xD

Then I start exsperimenting with pixles (because I only have the mouse on my laptop)

[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/9011594_orig.png[/img]
(28.12.11)

Which brings me to my great "triumph", the pixle cats! ^^

(29.12.2011)

all my drawing so far, in paint/paint.net/gimp

Then I start exsperimenting with my first "big" drawing program - coral painter.
(which my computer cant handle, so it shuts it down if I use the eraser xD)

Here I make my first non pixle art! ^^

(31.01.2011 - 05.06.2011)

Then I discoverd corel painters genius mirror function,
so of course I got addicted with butterflies!

But then this summer I got my beloved drawingtablet <3
and I found how easy it was to make simple pixle linearts.

Here's the first ever one!

And then I started doing those "free doodle" forums ^^
they're so much fun, and challenging!
[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/4350890_orig.png[/img][img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/8188956_orig.png[/img][img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/4024534_orig.png[/img][img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/517149_orig.png[/img]

And after that I have done lots of custom linearts and souch ^^

[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/6549588_orig.png[/img]

I'll end this with an Q&A ^^
Here is questions I get alot, and answers
(feel free to add some questions to the list in comments ^^)

~ What program do you use?
Sai ^^

~ How to use sai?
I made a tutorial about that ^^ see my blog (lineart & shading)

~ How do you make mumfers?
Have a tutorial blog about that too!

~ What's the weirdest thing people ever ask you to draw?
This thing xD
[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/3847433_orig.png[/img]

~ What's the weirdest lineart people requested?
A.. blender xD Weird..
[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/3396816_orig.png[/img]

~ How can you make pixel bases w/ a tablet?
I use piq (http://piq.codeus.net/)
It even got layers and a mirror function!

~ How do you recolor adoptables?
I always use a colored one, and just simply change the hue.
(in sai) I add color with airbrush if needed ^^
Remember to use wand and low opacity if you wanna give it a go ^^
(for mumfers)

For pixel linearts, I always save the lineart
and use wand in paint.net.


So.. that's that ^^

It is handy for Signatures though. C:
