Hey guys,

Here's my 2nd drawing attempt w/ my intuos2. Things are starting to get better (compared to my first post with the female in a red dress). I've done the whole kit-and-kabootle this time around. Trying to learn how the whole process works. Any c&c's are welcome!

Initial Sketch

Line Art Version

Colored Version

Now that i've taken a relatively low-detail sketch to the end, I'll be trying to improve my sketching abilities for the next round. Anyhow, take care guys.

'Chris

looks pretty good. how did you go from the sketch to the lineart?

I am doing close to the same thing, but am having trouble making my lines clean and crisp. you can see what I am doing here...

The lineart was achieved using the trusty pen tool in photoshop. It was a bit time consuming the first time around, but i've gotten much faster w/ the pen tool after going through all of that as well as the coloring stage.

Checked out your thread of your female, she looks like she's got potential. You definitely need to take some time and ink her, then colorize her w/ midtones, shadows and highlights :)

yea, I have meen experamenting with the pen tool, and getting a little confused and frusterated. Oh well, guess that I will just have to learn it. Now I just need to get my tablet back from my friend.

Keep up the good work, and show us some more stuff!

Stick w/ the pen tool, you'll get it sooner than you think. It's actually a very simple tool. It just appears to be complicated on the surface. As for showing you more work, all my old stuff was 3d studio max work. I'm just now starting to focus more on traditional skills. In the long run, this will make my modeling more powerful and accurate. (Kind of learned everything in reverse). Plus I definitely feel animation studios and whatnot MUST see some traditional work, not just 3d package work. Anyhow, cya :)
