Digital Roughs

I started a comic project today and this is a page layout I made in Photoshop. It's been forever since I've tried digital sketching. It's such a time saver, especially for quick value studies. Compositional tweaks and pencils come tomorrow...

After Some Suggestions...

I think I'm going to leave this one alone for a bit...

More Digital Painting!

Photoshop Sketch

I don't really have anything earth-shattering to post at the moment, but it felt like the blog was collecting dust, so here's a quick Photoshop sketch that I made last night.

A snapshot from "Earth Day"...

...or at least the 4/20 celebration of said holiday in Overton Park.

Collaboration with Billy Welch

My friend Billy Welch recently offered one of his drawings to the general public as a challenge to see who could give it the best color treatment this side of the Mason-Dixon. Since I had recently bought a new Wacom, it seemed like it was time to go digital all over that drawing's candy ass.





I made two versions because I wasn't sure which one worked better. I'm trying to work with colored line work in Photoshop, but sometimes you can't beat the visual "oomph!" of black line art. Feel free to offer feedback.

Since I feel all show-and-tell-y, here's the painting in progress that I mentioned a few posts back that started as a drunken impulse. I'm doing well to develop it with more consideration and less Pabst.

A few days ago, my friend let me borrow her Wacom tablet. Nothing particularly special about it. It was in fact, by today's standards, painfully obsolete. But for someone who's been itching to do some digital work, that old tablet was the sexiest thing in my sight. Now I have something else that will keep me busy and happily reclusive.
