Ive just rediscovered the default paint program for windows.. it forces you to work with a limited color set and tends to never lag your computer, so its very good for sketches:



after default sketch, went into PS for blending/filter/touchup

[Hunger_Artist]

more base p-brush to photoshop...

trying to add more atmosphere to my work...heres an hour study of my snake-archer d00d.

detail of init. sketch:

and then PS coloring machiavellian style (filters, curves, line tools, lighting effects used :D )

http://members.tripod.com/carlbeu/5c6334a0.jpg


then after about another hour of blending..

if anyone's interested, I can go more in-depth into what I do exactly..[

[buffaloe]

Sure! I would love to hear more about your process! I'm always interested in seeing how other artists do things... usually you can pick up some new techniques to play with :) I like the unique quality of your sketches... the line work, the colors, the brushy strokes... very nice!

[Hunger_Artist]

thanks for the compliments. Right now I rely mostly on color and linework. about half the sketches here have been run through a lighting filter, which I think Im getting the hang of just now. I've made a quick tutorial of what Ive learned so far from experimenting...



http://members.tripod.com/carlbeu/5c858900.jpg


I dont see filters as a crutch...just a tool to get the concept out more quickly. If anyone has any questions, PM me.

[buffaloe]

hey, nice! Thanks for the tut :) Yeah, I think filters can definately be a big help as long as you don't overuse them, and this looks nice... cool little trick, Hunger_Artist!

[Hunger_Artist]

continuing to explore painter...first a sketch from while back that I tried coloring...

http://members.tripod.com/carlbeu/5d0805b0.jpg


Next was a sketch done today.. the whole effort from sketch to painter to PS took probably a solid 4 hours

heres a sequence:

heres the finished ( I think) deal:

http://members.tripod.com/carlbeu/5d480e00.jpg

Im not sure if I should go back and fix the details and mabey try a hyper-realistic version...any comments and questions welcome!

[Hunger_Artist]

another painter test:

http://members.tripod.com/carlbeu/5ddf4b00.jpg


was starting this idea in painter, but got lazy and filtered it out in PS. may stiill go back though

once again I am very much a n00b, so any comments are welcome to help me improve...

[Iiori]

Oo! I love the color on the last one. Very nice color scheme I believe.

I would keep working on coloring, you seem to have a great imagination and the more practice you get the better. ^^

[Hunger_Artist]

thanks for the suggestions Iiori. These were both done today, and I tweaked them around in Photoshop to get their color 'n contrast...

1st, nuclear kitty:

haha dood you have some crazy ideas keep it up

[buffaloe]

whoa! that bug on the face thing is kinda creepy! This last set of images sort of reminds me of etch a sketch lines.. maybe printed out, refined and colored in...odd... just the pixelated quality I guess! I like those alot.. very unique style!

[Hunger_Artist]

thanks for t3h comments.

buffaloe- Oekaki skeches are completely digital and very small so the quality suffers a bit (sorry if you already knew this) My style tends to be random contours until I get the form I like...
