you are the best!!! O_O
vofff> For sure, I guest back then when they create the comics...they supposedly mimic super-heroes at time. But they don't have the right to use it so they just use some sort of metaphor symbols. I guess. Pretty slick!
Woo Watchmen!
Have a great weekend guys.
This one is a bit different... keep posting these kind of drawings!
Xia, how do you pick the color? I mean the Right colours, cause sometimes when I need to put in some color value, I don't match it well (and I'm not color blind!)
Thanks & Peace!
The grime and textures is not necessary indeed.
The key is in finding the RIGHT VALUES and put them in the right place.
,NOT Brushes
,NOT Fancy Layers
:)
Chris> Woo Chris! Thanks Brother I try my best!
Luca> This one I have ref. It's good for practicing values and color.
Well, paint from life and from references until you get comfortable then try again. :) Trust me.
Thanks a lot brother and wish you all the best, you don't know how much you're helping me! ^_^
If the poses are longer than 45 mins at time, you should be using oil.
My two cents.
Question about your traditional pencil sketching - do you use softer pencils for them like 2B 4B? I was looking at some, and they are amazingly neat. Do you use the same style of drawing as you do on photoshop? Because if you do, I don't know how it all looks so tidy. Also the softer pencils tend to be harder to rub out!
Do you have any tips with pencil drawing and neatness pleaaaase!
Thanks Xia as usual. =]
