Guess it's almost Christmas

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 17, 2009, 12:19 AM
Well here it is, another post. Been working lots and drawing a little. With the holidays fast approaching (a little too fast) it's hard to find time to get everything done. But I an getting better!

I've been enjoying posting up my work in progress pics, it's cool to see how they start out and what they look like as they approach the final product.

Sometimes I think I spend too much time on one drawing when I could be doing a bunch a bit rougher, oh well, it's all fun for me :D

Until next time, happy holidays!

Hey, i was just wondering: When you do digital art, do you use the pen tool?
:icontquinn82:
Oh, i had a few minutes. I added a 'references' folder in my gallery with some screen shots showing the zoom levels I work at :D Enjoy.
:icontquinn82:
Nope :D I try to do it all by hand. I will usually put a scan of my pencil drawing on its own layer at like 50% opacity and draw over it by hand. I draw in really high resolution. Usually 8000x4000 or more and zoom in so close that my brush strokes end up looking a lot straighter when I shrink it down to size (like 300% zoom). I do use a wacom tablet though and the 'undo' key i think gets used more than anything else. If i do a line and its not right I undo and try it again.

It's not the fastest way of doing things, but the lines usually turn out real nice in the end. Hope that answers your question :D Also, I draw in Corel Painter which has a really nice brush selection and does a great job of imitating pencil, pen, marker, water color, etcetera.

Cheers

Hey thanks!

It's because I was having some trouble deciding how to do lineart. Since the pentool makes superior staight and smooth lines, but I just dont dig the whole clicking around and making curves. So yes, I'm doing the majority by hand, and only pen tool in certain areas. It's nice to hear from someone using a similar method. Thanks again.
