Did this up last night. Awkward working in OC, but I thought I’d try it again. I think I’ll be returning to Photoshop tonight.

The lineart is Jon’s total rocking of Hellboy.

Olduvai George, the remarkable digital archaelogical illustrator posted this Painting tutorial a while back that I thought I would share with you cats. Interesting little tidbits in there if yer into that sort of thing.

Today is Fabricari creator Steve Harrison’s birthday. I hope it rocks, and I hope his next year rocks too!
His birthday reminds me of this podcast and this one, wherein he and Goonsquad buddy Justin Martin discuss growing up a comic geek and wannabe creator, and then having trouble getting the actual work DONE. Most of it is stuff I’ve been through, so I really appreciated some of the ideas Fabs was throwing around to get him drawing again. One of ‘em was to draw lil’ four-page comics/ Somethin’ low-commitment, y’know? Less pressure to be “perfect.” I you’ve ever gone through anything similar you should check it out.

Thanks for another year of bein’ an inspiration Steve!

If any of you are into process stuff, then you prolly have OpenCanvas. If yer interested, here’s an event file featuring me sketchin’-out Fabricari.com’s Iniquity.

The neck’s all cramped down, but I’m still lovin’ it; I’m starting to feel the medium and enjoy it. Its really got me drawing and painting again. Next stop is color.

Just wanted to say “Hi.” Still sketchin’ in Photoshop a bit. And still intimidated a lil bit. But what else is new. More comin’.

Man, this was tough.  Prolly took about an hour for Felicia last night, and then the bg was scribbled on-and-off today till I got sick of it.  Now to relax.

I’m quite happy with how Felicia turned-out though.  She looks nearly as awesome and adohable as real life. Sorry the backgrounds so weak tho, doll.

Done in about a half hour. Just a hard brush, and a brush I made for hair.

Looking at ‘em side-by-side its obvious that I didn’t make my cheeks puffy enough. Pretty happy with it overall though.

Just fooling around in Photoshop, trying to get the hang of some of the natural media brushes that come with it. I ended-up going through, scribbling with each one and either deleting it from the palette or modifying it and saving that version. Most of the mods were simply setting opacity to pen pressure - nothing fancy.

Gonna get up early in the morn and try some actual individual sketches for each brush. Prolly end-up working from photo-reference. Haven’t done that in … ever probably. At least since high-school. Oy.
