Artist's Comments

Hey :)

Firstly i'm REALLY sorry this is a day late but i've been having major computron problems, which makes me even more excited to get my prize =P And i had minor art block. Anyway this was my latest assignement that went a little something like this:

Open a file that it 11x17, at 300 dpi. Click on your color selector, and in the c,m,y and k fields enter c:10, and zero for all the rest. Use this light cyan color to fill the canvas. Then select your burn tool. In the ranges, select highlights, and make sure the exposure is set to 100%. Then select the brush size that is size 5, feathered (the airbrush).
Now simply use this tool just as you would a pencil on paper to do your line work, and sketch away. The more you press and go over your strokes, the darker they will become, just like a real pencil. Don't clean anything up, leave all the lines, just darken in what you want to keep.

I have to admit it was REALLY REALLY hard not erasing stuff (I did with the eye shine a little :S) It's actually one of my cleaner drawings, perhaps the stress of knowing i coulodn't erase stuff made me concentrate a bit more, but i have to admit doing all these portraits have made me improve on faces a bit, i'm quite proud :B

Anyway i'm quite inspired tonight because i just got my birthday present which is art books so i am going to read them all and do some figure drawing :D

Interesting way to mimic pencils digitally :) and happy birthday :w00t:

Fabulous. I want your drawing skills. Trade me hands like that one episode of Futurama. Mine don't grope randomly, they just flail a lot and make weird gestures while refusing to hold pencils.

Wow. This process produced exactly the results I intended. This is beautiful! You should be proud of it, it's fantastic. Great work, and great job adhering to the principals of the asignment. You can't see see it right now, but I'm wiping a tear of pride from my eye. :)
