I'm submitting this for critique. Before I paint my dragon/jhereg I wanted to try to make scales with just paint instead of painting each one individualy (too insane). The wing is fine, it's exactly how I wanted it to come out, but the body scales are a little iffy.

I used both tablet plug-ins, the space bar nearly placed all the way to the right and tried different strokes, some circular, some cross hatching. Some paint, some burn and dodge, I'm not sure.... Help would be most welcome and wanted. ;)

It is indeed fun to look at. I enjoy the solid, individual strokes of your pen paintings.

woah_pockster (edited Apr 25, 2006)

your lines are so loose and undefined, but the way you make your strokes makes the whole portrait so detailed and you capture a depth that you just can't do with just airbrushing (or whatever other tools) shading.
you're wonderful =]

It looks like you made some pen strokes over a real photo, so well done.

Axil62 (Apr 25, 2006)

Yeah kinda. I had the ref up in PSP so I could look at it while I drew, used ALT + TAB to switch between the ref and Shi... look at ref alt + tab...draw...alt + tab... look at ref....alt + tab...draw...back and forth. Because the ref and the canvas don't fit on the screen without overlapping. Know what I mean Vern?
