“For my day job, I am a digital comic artist. These are some digital sketches I had fun creating while experimenting with different Photoshop brushes. Being familiar with an extensive set of brushes is an essential skill in the digital world of sketching.”

“Another exercise that helped me learn what effects my brush set is capable of achieving. I focused mainly on the helmet and started with one side black, one side white.” This is the result...

And finally, a super simple test to show how you can color a sketch by simply adding 2 adjustment layers in Photoshop.

First, I added a very subtle color balance layer to the sketch. I gave the midtones and highlights a little bit of blue, and the shadows a little bit of brown.

Second, I added a hue/saturation layer and really boosted the saturation. And voila, colored!
