Getting back in the Digital Saddle

April 8, 2012 in StickStuck

I just bought myself a new little bamboo, and I’m getting back into the digital colour realm. Those of you who know me know that I am passionately pro-traditional work, but the hard fact is that it’s really difficult to properly reproduce traditional colour work unless you’re using something like paints. And even then I doubt it’s easy.

 

So I’m going to try to get my skills on colour back up to a good level, but rest assured I’ll always be pencilling and inking traditionally. And that won’t be changing.

But here’s one of my first new forays into colour – a portrait inspired by Natsumi Hayashi, who does the amazing photography featuring herself levitating through Japan. Check it out, it’s super cool.

This image is an experiment I did some time ago – the figure is mounted on the backdrop with foam and stands above, thus the shadowing.

Wonderwoman

I drew this, sitting at my desk on NYE watching Lord of the Rings. I should really be more social.

Gave a shot at the “american” style inking on the hair – interesting but I doubt I could do it regularly.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I love a good read. Most of the time if I’m doing something other than drawing it’s taking in some book or another.

My first attempt at an A4 image for a long time!

Unfinished Kalla

Out of all the unfinished stories I ever muddled through this image is from one of the biggest – I used to write whole notepads full in highschool before I learned to draw – and it seems that once I learned to draw for a long time I forgot how to write…

Funny how it works like that.

Just a little bit closer…

Before I really started doing comics my illustrations were a lot more worked – I didn’t fully realise that I would have to be drawing these characters thousands of times – but in the end that rang through. This was done back in 2006.
