get outta my kitchen!

another character study. he's a cook, see?

first the lines with some shadow...












and now with color...












i did this on 100% digital on my cintiq in photoshop. im afraid it suffers from an overall lack of contrast, which bugs me (obviously not enough to NOT post it on my blog/fix it). also, i think i need to get a little more adventurous with my light sources. generally, i end up with the standard 'above and a little off to one side' thing.

the good news is im really starting to enjoy sketching on my cintiq. up until a few months ago i was hesitant/scared to go right at the drawing digitally, but the advantages over traditional media are crazy.

i might go back and mess with this one a little more later. i put about 4 hours straight into this one and thats a lot for me so im done for now.

anyway, enjoy!

  1. Paul, it looks pretty sweet actually. Paint with the dodge and burn tool to get the more dramatic lighting you want. It makes the colors in the peice more dynamic if used right.

  2. I love the color one. Had to enlarge it to really see the details. Love the pic.
