Haven't done much sketches or anything for the least 2 weeks (damn school...) So some quick figures to get started again... Also did some extra bits on that other POS...  Still gotta work on gitting the values better in the center area, feels unstructurized, also gonna get rid of the grayness in the foreground. Then some human ellements further down the road... All for tonight, more to come tomorrow (unless my friends are gonna bug me all day )

O_O Looking good! I've been geeked on doing environmental/background stuff lately.... Only thing I'd do is refine the bright snow in the foreground area, kinda reminds me of melted marshmallow for some reason. -- I was bored at work the other day, and this was the product of it. :wacko:

I wasn't sure if should post this, but what the heck: Yes, I know it's sorta cheesy. And yes, I consider it a sketch. I was making it to test both my ability to make a comic and to use photoshop. (This was the second drawing I made with photoshop) (p.s.: When he says 'that is insanity', he is referencing his landscape, not just the lightning bolt. I know that's not clear) Rubberhead: Mountain backgrounds is excellent, but the woman posing seems a bit stiff. |

Looks Cool Jemooky. I like the use of colours=) Rubberhead, you painting is looking awesome so far! Maby you could have used some more saturated colours, but it's not realy that necesarry. It still looks fine  I'll just throw in a quick silly sketch of some kind of a mysterious spoon man..  (EDIT: I forgot to ad a " " I know who salad finger is clayt =) )

Heh, I'dd like to see that  .Some progress. Flipped the canvas, looks better to me for some reason.  Thanks for the crits btw, they are helpfull. Still some stuff that needs fixing, the marshmellow effect is still present Foregrounds needs to be redone entirely. The rock in the center of the composition is too dark, making it appear closer then it should - I don't think it fits the rest of the scene, whatcha think? Some shadows and highlights are misplaced aswell, lightin in overall needs improvement... ...it's still crap *sigh* If anyone has ideas on how to improve it, shoot! *edit* Oh Arthur, missed your post. I'll probably edit the colours so they are more saturate, I allways have the tendecy to start painting desaturate when painting digitally - shadows are desaturate, and I colourpick alot, so it allways ends up kinda desaturated, will use some digital fixative!

Woohoo! Lots of goodies today! Rubber: Did a hue/sat ajustment to show what hues you are using (Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation).  Even a ice bound mountain shouldn't be all blue when I do this. Let's look at this snowy photo:  See how there are warm sides and cool sides of the mountain (typically light/shadow). Also, the colors closer to us are warmer (not counting the bear, who's obviously a different story all together). Also, use warm colors to pop cool ones. Check out Linda Bergkvist's Tutorial on Skin Tones for her very illuminating thoughts on color. So, the run of thumb is: Warm Colors Appear Closer Cool Colors Appear Farther This also true of value and saturation: Saturated = Closer Unsaturated = Farther Dark = Close Light = Farther You've done well in that aspect, but check this theshold I ran to find your darkest value (Image > Adjustments > Threshold):  The area outlined in red should be darkest give it's proximity to the viewer. But, that center mass is actually darkest. Jemooky That's a pretty cool page, but your values are making it hard to make anything out. It's funny you posted it though. I've been thinking od a comic with a similar style (in brush work). Quick 30 second Paintover:  I've lost your great texture in the process, but I'm mostly trying to show more distinct values. I've also not really dealt with somev layout issues that are misleading the eye. Also, your text layout needs some forethought. see how the crazy thing's lines are cutting through your protagonist's neck in the first panel? Your typography needs to be worked into your composition. So, when your laying out a page, think about your dialogue and make areas for it that compliment the rest of the composition. |

Thanks for the comments, Humble. I notice the text cutting through the protagonist's neck. It even makes me feel that that's the first thing I should be reading. I'm happy with the text in the third panel though. I see what you mean about the characters getting lost in the busy backgrounds. I don't think I mind "Insanity" getting lost in the blue, but the kid getting lost in the red is distracting. I'm going to bust out my excuses, and emphasize that this is my first main photoshop project. (Speaking of, anyone have any great links to painting in photoshop, which cover the technical aspects as well as technique? I was so lost, I ended up using only two brushes for the entire thing) And good luck with your comic project. If you're interested in the inky/paint-wash style, I highly suggest looking at this comic: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/093028956...glance&n=283155 |

Yeah, I love anything by McKean. As for yours, it might do you good to study Miller's Stuff (warning: Link contains nudity). I know the look is completely different, but his layout and use of silhouette is near goddly. He compositions are fantastic. Also make use of your Histogram. When I got home from work, I saw your image on my "lighter" monitor and saw it clearer. Anyway, here's your histogram from the original peice:  See how you're blowin' out the dark end? With a modicum of midtones and practically no lights (that little hump at all the way right is your white text). Even with a poorly calibrated monitor, this helps you see where your values are. Even the darkest of pieces shouldn't be this way (again look at Miller's work for great balance). You're only using a third of your range. Dark and moody is great, but we need to see it!
