  • love how you handle line weights. You do these digitally or traditional and cleaned up in the computer?

    Sounds like you had a great break! :) Onward to Christmas Vacation!

  • THANKS! Strictly digitally – Painter.

    I’m about to get some traditional inking tools to practice and have fun. But if I’m working on something for a client digital saves a huge amount of time. Scanning and cleaning up lines can be a headache when I know I can instantly produce sharp clean lines in Adobe Illustrator or get funky with Painter. Not to mention that there are no mistakes, white-out or any ink-related stains . . . just happy accidents.

  • how do you get the dotted shading effect? seriously…

    i see it everywhere on deviantart and i like how it looks. i’m thinking its a feature of an ap i don’t have.

    i mostly use artrage2 and autodesk sketchbook as an alternative to expensive stuff like adobe or after affects or whatnot.

  • k, that’s just a halftone pattern. The pattern is black and white, I added a gray tone and decreased the opacity.
