“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!
