Figure Studies

A few figure studies from a while back. 

What do you think?

In the Beginning or The Fourth Day

Why, hello there! It's been three years since the last post, so here's something new -- er, to this blog anyway. The comic describes the creation of the world, as described in the book of Genesis.

 

I finished this drawing on Strathmore Bristol Board.

I digitally inked and gray-toned the work in Manga Studio Debut 4.0 on the Intuos 5 Tablet. Let me know what you think, okay?

Coloring

A while back, a few years ago actually, I had received a Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet for Christmas. The software for whatever reason never worked with our computer. So when we recently got a new computer, I attempted again to install it. Failure, yet again. But without getting to much into all of the details, the tablet came with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0. I never bothered to install it before, with already having so many troubles with the software, I just naturally figured it wouldn't work. But I got thinking about it earlier this week and decided to give it a try. Success! So I've been plugging away with it, learning the ins and outs of photoshop!



So I took one of my newer works, and tried out coloring it.



Over all, I am satisfied with the results... But I am a tad disappointed with the loss of the original line work. For example, his nose and mouth. Anyway, can't wait to test it out some more. If anyone has any tips to give about using photoshop -- I'm all ears.
