Hello ol’ Chaps & Chappettes! So… I’m a bit worn out post-con and will have a bright and shiny new page for you next monday! Buuuut for today, I barely made it out of bed to eat. lol! Anywho, as an offering of goodwill, here is a special set of pages previously only found in the printed issue!
This is basically how I do all my drawerings! Not much has changed really since then, except that I use a wacom cintiq now (which is amazing btw) and I add a “soft focus” layer at the end to give it a little finishing touch. You can see it from the start of Issue 3 onward. To do that effect is easy with a photo editing program; just make merged copy of all the layers below the words and borders, do a blur filter to taste, then put it just below the border layer. I like to drop the opacity of it to around 30% so it’s not too much softfocus, but anything between that and 50% is ok.
Thanks again to everyone who stopped by my booth this weekend! I had lots of fun! Hopefully next monday I’ll be getting back on track with the pages. Stay tuned! >D
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing your process….wish I had the talent!!!!!!! However, that’s what reading/viewing an artist’s work is all about….the excitement of the share.
