That is really beautiful. Nice works, love the combination of line and coloring. I have a ?? that might seem goofier than usual, but is this painted on the computer, or on paper? As I read it, it's done electronically. But all I've done is make simple, manual pencil/ink/color pencil'd line drawings for posts, so am pretty clueless about these sorts of more complex things. Thanks, and hope you have a nice night.
Well, I always start with pencil sometimes pen/charcoal on paper in the real world first. In this case I thought, ill just pull up the image we are supposed to use as a starting off point and play with it. So when I saw it I turned it vertical in photoshop then flipped it horizontally (as I liked the opening facing the right more, as that often indicates the future or looking forward or more uplifiting in painting) and then I put a piece of paper over the screen and roughly sketched out the shape, then I sat at my desk and did a few versions of a lady coming out of the shape. When I was happy with that I sketched it and scanned it,that is the pencil drawing you see turned digital.
Then I use digital oils, various brushes and also digital oil pastels. It's fun and amazing and the first time I used digital I couldn't' believe how much it reacts like real world. Sometimes I forget it's not a screen but a real paper/canvas and rub my finger on it to smudge something and then think, "Hey idiot, it's not really there" They do make touch screen drawing tablets but I don't want one yet, as I think I would smear things with my hands all the time.
Is this helpful or is it clear as mud?
