[Soeren Nielsen]

Cool stuff jeroentje. The aunt scares me! I wish I could draw like that, I have begun learning but Im nowhere close to that.. you used painter and a wacom ?

[jeroentje]

Thanks Soeren!

Yep, but you can draw with and on anything. Biro's and yellow 3M post-it memo's are one of my favorites...
:beer:

[Soeren Nielsen]

yeah Im actually drawing right now.. practicing in drawing fast, so the drawing gets more 'energy' if you know any places to get some help on drawing, please tell me. :)

[Serul]

I like the overall atmosphere in those pictures.

I especially like the hair in the last one... :applause:

How long did these take to make ?

[jeroentje]

@Soeren
Your eyes and a lot of practice are your best help :)

@Serul
Thanks man.
About 10 to 20 min's a piece.

[Soeren Nielsen]

jeroentje

yeah I guess your right, I can allready see a great improvement in my drawing, IM RUNNING OUT OF PAPER NOW :/

[jeroentje]

GOOD! That way you have a whole empty desk to fill! Work big!

[Norante]

:drool: :drool: :drool:

you know what I mean, Jeroentje ;)

[Poju]

Wery nice stuff.

Ha, that auntie looks like uncle with a wig.

Stuff like that makes me wonder, why in earth i gave up my pencil when i got pc

[jeroentje]

Thank you Norante, my bagheaded friend :)

This is all zeroes and ones Poju: Painter C and a Wacom G2.

[Poju]

I mean't that it's been awhile since i've actually draved anything so my skills(that little i had) are almost gone and it's hard to find time practise anymore.

[jeroentje]

Sorry to hear that Poju. Here's an idea; kick your girl out, get one of the smaller Wacom's and start painting. It is fun :)

Anyway, here's another wiseguy...

[Poju]

Kicking my wife out isn't an option anymore, she is bregnant 9nth week:bounce:

[jeroentje]

Cheers, jeroentje

[Gamoron]

Nice stuff Man. I like the harsh lighting on the characters. I'm going to look into this Painter app.

Cheers, and keep it up.

[jeroentje]

He thanks :beer:

Just came back from your website. You have some pretty good things up there. I noticed you want to get into storyboard drawing btw, so maybe Painter will be a good tool for it. It has a prety good markertool in it, so you can keep some feeling of speed in your drawing (IMO, just what a good storyboard needs). I did most of these with that.

[jeroentje]

Painting hair can be so much fun...
He reminds me a little bit of Billy Connoly, but that is just a coincidence.

[Gamoron]

i've got Painter now jeroentje. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Another app to learn. Your hair is great!

[jeroentje]

Why thank you Gamoron, I will tell my hairdresser :love: :insane: LOL

About Painter; I use Classic and that took me about 2 minutes. Dunno if you got another version, but the basics are pretty easy to learn. It is just like painting IRL only more flexibel. And I just love the multiple [ctr-Z] undo and the rotating canvas thing.

[Bruzundanga]

Is there any other tutorial showing ALL brushes of painter? Or the only one is that which comes with the soft? Thre's toooooo many brushes to play around and if I have a printed manual with ALL of that brushes in some examples it will be much better

:thumbsup:

[jeroentje]

I have never seen a Painter tutorial. And there was no manual with the CD-ROM that came with my Wacom G2 tablet.
I just installed it and started playing with it :shrug:

[Bruzundanga]

yeah, you're right. I didn't find great tutorials with painter... why this?

There's a pdf that comes with the soft called "BrushVariants" which shows every brush of painter. But just a little trace, not how it functions or what can be done. Maybe i'm too lazy to try all of them
:cool:

Being a Photoshop fan since it's fith version, it's hard for me to keep another painter prog and learn................. :thumbsdow

well.. go on with your great drawing...

I'll keep an eye on.

:)

[jeroentje]

I've been using Photoshop since version 2.0 (without the layers LOL how on earth could one work with that???)
But like I said, the basics of Painter is very simple; A canvas, a couple of brushes, a well-thought color picker and off you go.
Only thing I ever change on a brush while using it is the size now and than.

[jeroentje]

...oh and for a bit of the more complicated color management I open it in Photoshop, do what I have to do, save as a TIFF and continue in Painter again.

[LucentDreams]

Now here is a funny one, I acutally paid good money for Painter 7 as I liked Painter classic that came with my wacom, and trust me stick with painter classic, its clean simple and fun, Painter 7 is loaded with new stuff that only gets in the way of creating. They have added way to much, and some of there brushes while really cool in their effect, are really ram/processor ntensive, meaning that even my 1.2 512Mb DDR system slows down to an absolute crawl, never had that in Painter Classic. This stupid painter 7 had it for only a week now tried it on my backgrounds, and I'll be sticking with Painter classic and PS 7.

[gidgit]

hey Kai...

have ya tried ZBrush out yet?

[LucentDreams]

No, haven't really, I am already selling my Painter seven to an Ol' schoolmate whose plannning on studying typography at Emily Carr though so no one ask to by it :)

What do you like about Zbrush, just to get some info? Sorry for the OT.

I love your lighting Jereontje absolutely brining out the best in each character, what is it with you and huge lips on women though Ewwwwwwwwwww. :) I can't wait until I am finished this film so I can do something other than a jusge a gorilla ad a few backgrounds :) Right now my hand is still slightly knarled from cleaning up two hundred some odd drawings of a gorilla dancin and I though I wanted to be an animator :) I'll have an update for you guys on the film real soon.:beer:

[jeroentje]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone :)

Kaiskai, are you still doing those apes?????? :eek:
Btw, I have Painter 5 next to my Painter C icon. I never click on it. Like you said; to much things I neer use anyway.
