I used the Sketcher program available at Art Grounds. I missed photoshop so much. Sketcher is limited. But I wanted to try it out and scribble with other people. I didn't really pay attention to what else was going on. LOL _________________ Sarcasm, just one more service that I offer.
Little something I did yesterday on my boards to try and explain layers, but I think I failed, but I still felt I should share here. I can't call it an exact tutorial, but at least it gives you the idea of the things that go into creating digital art.
This is a pic of Taka that I actually sketched in pencil and used in the following week's comic. Lately I haven't sketched on paper. Haven't for a bit now. I make such a mess, and well, the pencil shot even proves how messy I can be with pencils. Course if I broke down the layers of Kit's breakdown, you'd see all sorts of colored sketchy lines. That one was all in photoshop. heh. This one was one of the simpler ones.
We start with scanning in the pencil. Ooooh.
Using the tablet, we trace over the outlines in black. I put a white background to make it easier to see.
From the white, we make a new layer, and color in the picture. I dodged a few strands of hair, and dodged and burned the eyes to create the gradient look.
Next I made another layer, for the shadows.
Another layer later, I add the highlight chunks to the hair, and darkened the edges of his hair.
I reselected the outline layer, created a new layer, and added the highlights for the eyes.
Course you can also see that I do things in pencil occasionally and not all always on the computer to start with. heh. But each time something was added, it was on it's own layer, that way I can screw around with it later if I need to. Say like I get lazy and want to reuse the pose, but want a different facial expression. I just modify those few parts on the layers and done! _________________ Sarcasm, just one more service that I offer.
I can't call this a scribble, but I did put up a second comic today. and then I added 2 things on deviant art in my scraps.
I don't usually share my work with the world, but these two things are note worthy as they have both gotten me awards. One national and one state wide. I also have another award company wide but that's a little one. heh. Each yeah I have been there so far I have won something. Guess I am off to a good start. Also helps with raises. =)
Well, congratulations on both achieving such honors and working to help a worthy cause. I bet making a difference like that feels good, eh? _________________
