saber peak update

with the base light and shadow established i can introduce more complex shapes of dark and light un then blend them all together with a combination of sharp and soft edges

saber peak update

when recoloring i thought it would be fun to try painting with a mono-chromatic underpainting

rough draft for bald space monkey

i've been trying to rough out scene by scene "bald space monkey" because the story is just was too big to just "wing it"


Bald space monkey overall plot overview:

Starting from just after meeting with “mr crabs”

Gustar calls Risker and yells at him to “get over here” and discuss Jenny’s “immigration status” in order to determine if jenny can qualify for asylum or something to keep from being deported back to her home planet.

Risker asks if he ca...

brain clicked for color

as i was painting the gouache version of the knight something in me head clicked into place i regards to laying down color.  because i have always had a hard time with color its difficult for me to articulate what happened in my head.

in all my other works i put the color down in opaque flat bases then added shadows an highlights on the one layer.  in these i put down the paper texture under the line sketch then a multiply layer with the basic color "theme" then on a new multi...

Oddette's village update

the idea i have for the process for this folio is to get the sketch mostly done digitally then print it out for pencil refinement, scan back in to put a simple color base.  then print it back onto some large bristol board.  polish up the shadows with copic markers and THEN paint over in oils

Oddette's Village

brining back Oddette.  also practicing oil painting in the back ground.  once the study is done and dry i will post it.  and if it looks the way i want then i plan to paint this in oils

badger me update

this folio i want to at least color it in copic markers

more traditional study

here's my method.  i do most the linework in clipstudio then print it out on my biggest paper available at low opacity.  i then refine the drawing with my pencils ( a 2H and HB) then scan it back in and add some simple colors.  then i print it out again in full color and paint over with copic markers. finally i go over it all again with gouache.

my next experiment will be to print out the color version on canvas paper and paint in oils

fox and knight

saber peak update

i had another little face palm moment.  i painted on these 4 for hours with seemingly little progress until i realized i was making things harder on myself again! i already had a good reface image from an old folio AND i can grab reference images from all over the net to help me choose the colors i need.  i still have a bad habit of making things harder then they need to be
