Journal Entry: Sun Apr 6, 2008, 11:34 PM
I was tired of the old journal entry, so figured it was time for a change.

Been a bit more productive the past weeks thanks to being unable to work for three days due to being sick. Amazing what a little free time can do for one's art. O.o

Sadly, art production is proportionally related to my paycheck, in this case. The more art I make, the less money I make! Need to find a way to solve this.




Man, I really need to find a local gaming group. Tabletop RPs, videogames, what have you, I miss hanging out with my nerdy friends. >.> At least I still have Ren Faires with them! Irwindale was great fun, I'm picking up a Ravenswood bodice, and then there's Escondido Faire this next weekend!


Also just recently got into listening to Podcasts, primarily ones on tabletop gaming (thus the resurgence in the desire to play!) Fear the Boot has been good times, fun banter between a bunch of nerdy guys, even if most of the games they talk about are as old as the arc of the covenant. XD Blizzcast has been fun too, because I'm a sad little fangirl and love hearing discussion about the design work that goes into things like WoW. >.>

Just read 'The Great Divorce' by our mutual friend Jack. You could do the two playing Lions... The depressing thought is how easy it would be to draw Hell...

Lots and lots of practice. You can't just pick up art skills from just one place. You have to be open to learning from everywhere, and be observant, to pick up on different things.

Thank you for the enthusiasm XD

I'm not sure how much of the basics of coloring you know, but I normally start by filling in the flat mid-tone colors in Photoshop, underneath the line layer. I normally put each different color area on a separate layer. Then I'll go in using a darker color, maybe with a touch of purple depending on what lighting I'm using, and with a semi-fuzzy brush, about 40-60% hardness in the brush options area, and only 20-30% opacity, I build up my shadow areas. I'll usually use a couple different levels of dark colors for that, and then the same for the highlights.

And I use a wacom tablet and pen to help, as it feels more natural than a brush. But just getting a tablet or Photoshop isn't going to make you an amazing artist, it takes practice and experimenting and study. :D
