So, I decided after working on a project today, to test out the Wacom tablet again by opening up an old pencil drawing file and putting a layer over it in Photoshop, and drawing on top of it to do hand eye coordination practice. It came out pretty good, the character on top is the one that I "traced". You can see the difference in the other character below with the gun. He's the lightly penciled original. The guy with the helmet was the same lightness, then I just sketched on top of him. Good practice! I think it's gonna help me get used to drawing on the tablet much faster and better.
I just got a Wacom draw tablet the other day so I can further my skills in computer coloring and drawing. This is the first time I colored anything fully, especially my own work in Photoshop. The tablet and pen tools are amazing. This drawing I did a couple years ago, a tech-noir steampunk edwardian feel. I tried to keep a muddy feel with the coloring....
Born on the South East Side of Chicago, moved to Los Angeles in 2005. Illustrating ever since I can remember. My first memories are watching the train bridges go up and down and cranes loading and unloading the ships on the river, driving past the steel mills with their tall smoke stacks and big blast furnaces...so you see why I have a fond affection to industrial machinery...I started drawing at the breakfast table and in front of the TV watching cartoons....I did this everyday after school. Drawing to Rocky and Bullwinkle, Tom & Jerry, Voltron,etc.
Eventually, I took summer multi media art classes at the Art Institute of Chicago from 10 years old to about 12. I then worked summer gallery programs in downtown Chicago working in different mediums, I then took many a classes of illustration, painting, anatomy, etc. at Columbia College. I started working on independent comics and when I moved to L.A. I worked assisting Inker extraordinare Matt "BATT" Banning. I then worked on '13' penciling and inking. Then Black Cherry Bombshells in 2007 to present. My favorite medium is Ink.
