the how to draw the ph i ber opt i c w
ay - tutorial by shaitan fbk.sargahd-
innovative, new and totally different from everything yo
u have seen before
1. choose an object
the first thing you need is a normal outlined object or font. i took t
hat facehere because it has some strange outlines - and
i am not interested in finishingit the regular way..
2. convert it
now you have to convert the outlines so that they look inverted.. t
he fill-functions of aciddraw are very suitable for that..
3. speedlines
the next step is adding some speedlines to the regular o
utlines..
4. background
the secret of phiber optic is, that background and outlines are totally
indepen-dent from each other. always think about the background
you choose: it shouldntdominate the pic, but the outlines MUST
be good visible. always paint the backonly up to the middle o
f the pic. dont forget to FILL the backgound at the po-sition
of a much-outlined part of the original.
for free spaces in the original, use pipes er-chains or speedlines
it isnt important what kind of background you choose. i think there a
re a lotof different possibilities - thats what makes p
hiber optic so interesting.
well, i chose a rather technicolored background.. lets have a look:

you see, the background
is
not very important.
yo
u can paint it fast
and easily. that is
ag
ain an advantage for
the phiber optic style.
the most important
thing is that you can
recognize the outlines
lat
er.
1. the position of the right eye is not backgrounded correct. i have to
fill
that up.
2. these are pipes. very simple
3. the same as point 1: the left eye needs more background, too. but th
ats
something different. i will show it later, at point 5.

5. merging the outlines with the background
load the outlines..
..and move the backgound under them.
now erase the 7-colored blocks and add 1 or 5 when
you need it:

1. at this position we left it empty before you can put 1 a
nd 5 by turns.
that makes it not looking so monotone.

at the end the whole thing should look like this:
now comes the finishing.
add some speedlines, and fill
up the rest of the background with
pipes and noise.
at the end it will look like point 6.
6. the end

dont forget to write ph i ber opt i c under your pic!
so everybody knows that you wanted to do some SERIOUS ART and WORK.
in my opinion, phiber optic is the best way for an ansi artist to produ
ce some-thing different than all these girls, monsters or other
ripped comic pics.. may-be you think that phibe
r optic sucks because that pic here looks awful. we
ll, itwas my first try in that style, too, and i suppose to do s
ome better pics. butfor the first try, the first time realizin
g an art style which is innovative,new, and totally different
from everything i had seen before, an art-style whichjust exist
ed in my head, i think its a success.
