Sketchbook – two colourful young cartoon monsters
Some monster characters that revealed themselves to me while I doodled. I am having some trouble determining both scale and colour scheme. All three of that kid are actually the same being, just, dressed up in different colours, and in different proportions. Any suggestions for scale or colour scheme are welcome! I’m having a lot […]
In the Toque of Madness – digital protagonist doodles/colour tests
My lovely partner and I have continued work on this story. In order to practice colour choice, as well as practice sketching in photoshop, and to try and get a feel for the protagonist, I thought I’d do some digital sketches of her in various “tight” colour schemes. We’re using a cartoonier style for this […]
Afloat process07
Continuing colour work for the first page of our illustrated post apocalyptic Canadian short story. Working on the soft shading. Here’s how Elliot’s face is coming along. I wonder if I should push the warm/cool contrast a bit more here. I’m considering also giving the shading harder edges… We’ll see. I’ll try a few more […]
Afloat process06
Working on the colours for page one of our illustrated post apocalyptic short story. Sparkling up the water. I’m going to start the major shading soon. Got to rust out that car, still. And see what I can do about the boat. Still, here’s what the water looks like at the moment. I’ll probably rework […]
Afloat process 05
I’m still working on the colours for that first page of our illustrated post apocalyptic short story, working title “Afloat.” Painted up the trees in the background. You can barely tell but I like the way it looks. I think I’m mostly done staining and weathering the character’s clothes. I put some time into trying […]
Afloat process04
Continuing colour work on the first page of our illustrated post apocalyptic Canadian short story. Here’s Elliot, the protagonist. I’m just getting ready to do some broad shading and colour adjustments, so I load up an adjustment layer for hue/saturation, and I end up with the happy accident below. Suddenly, we’re looking at Elliot through […]
Afloat process03
Continuing work on page one of Afloat, a short illustrated story set in a post apocalyptic Canadian wasteland. Finally got around to rusting over this sign. I love rust. I just keep fiddling with it. And fiddling and fiddling. I actually had two versions of the above image prepared to post, but I realized that […]
Afloat process02
Uploading snippets of my progress as I work on the colours for the pages of this story. Post apocalyptic, Canadian, no more than five pages. Still on page one, but I’m pleased with how it’s going thus far. Here is a sign. It has not yet realized its age or position in the world, so […]
Afloat process1
I’m working away on the colours for the first page of a small story. Post apocalyptic. Canadian. It will be no more than five pages, so the art and writing need to be tight. Afloat is the working title. This one’s got lots of water in. So much water. I foresee much standing at the […]
scruffy-gent: This is a comparison between my original drawing, and the final coloured version. My drawing was done in ball point pen instead of my usual micron pens. I am the charming partner he speaks of. This fellow (not featured in the above image) is the lovely partner I often speak of. I really dig […]
