Artist's Comments

Not that anyone asked me to, but I just thought it would be fun to post a little tutorial based on my "Lila Rocks" deviation.

I have no formal artistic training and I basically don't know what I'm talking about, so feel free to dismiss this completely and mock my numerous flaws. It'll be fun. :thumbsup:

It's great to get to see the process for this drawing, Julien-- for someone like me who usually goes for flat colors, seeing how you work the volume in color is particulatly interesting. :nod: Thanks for sharing, sir! :D

Thank you! I'd love it if you posted something similar, because I have absolutely no idea how you work your magic.

:laughing: Well thanks, Julien, but I'm just a photoshop bandit. What I do is very simple: Once I scan the inked drawing, I set the linework to "multiply" and below that I add new layers for every color. I usually keep changing colors until arriving at a combination that I like, and most of the times, I just leave them as flat colors. Other times I might add a bit more of detail using a tablet.

Once I have the color scheme I like, I just add one or two layers which I use as filters. These layers are scans of old yellowed pages taken from old books, or textures I do with ink and water, which kind of have a "rusty" feel to it, and I think they give the digital colors a more analogic look. The old pages are also great to get vintage effects. :)

So I set those texture layers to "multiply" as well, and that's all the process, really

I'm such a caveman when it comes to working digitally, that I try to keep my "method" as simple as possible... though when I get to have the patience to sit and practice, I'd like to try something along the lines of what you did in this tutorial, and seeing what happens... :nod:

Nice work! This is a nice tutorial, each step is explained in detail :) Lovely job!

Just a question though, you do all your work 100% digitally, no?

Superb and very enlightening. When I have my computer back, I will attempt something in this vein.

Yes, I've been drawing digitally exclusively for the last seven or eight years.
