Hi everyone, I am peeking in here after being out of the loop for awhile! Anyway, just thought I'd share my current book project! I love the first two images but really am trying to find the love in the last one. The night lighting is not my strong suit. Ideas are welcome!

Thanks!

@ArtistErin great stuff! I have a tip for night scenes. Put a medium value blue over the entire image and set it to "hard light". Then reduce it's opacity right down. It'll harmonise the colours into that "nighttime" look. You can then erase parts of that layer put to highlight warm tones from the fire.

@MarcRobinson Awesome Marc!! Thank you! I saw in How to Fix Your Art to set foreground layers to a dark blue Overlay and it works in some cases but in this image it came out purplish. I'll try hard light! Thank you so much

I’m inking and editing the mini comic I made for the Comics Workshop.
It’s my first time using clip studio paint (usually I work on Procreate) so it’s a learning curve!

Hi everyone. I thought I'd share some of the things I've been working on.

An upcoming spread, playing with different sizes within the same sequence. The author wants lots of different outfits/times/places within the book, so I am showing that in one spread here. My ideas of showing that progression, is to make the first spot in silhouette, then developing detail as the eye moves forward. My favorite part of this scene, was redrawing a million sequences from about 30 thumbnails. Might be the longest line drawing I've ever done because I wasn't finding the natural dynamic right away. But I am happy now with the result, and excited for painting!

Had an idea rattling around in my noggin to do a cover illustration for the September prompt. Not sure if I will get to it before the deadline or not, but at least I got the sketch out of my head.

This little guy is for a personal project I am working on.

Workin' on some concepts for book 3

Working on the next spread but I thought I'd share this one so far. I am almost done... looking for the best opacity and color to pop under the girl's orange dress.
Hoping the skin tone looks good! I have linework to clean up also on the middle image.. so it's not 100%... but feedback welcome! Thank you

Working on some test pages for one of the books my friend and I are doing. My best mate has been the writer on a few comic projects we've done together, and one of the new things we are doing is a "Myths and Legends of the British Isles" book. It's slow going and I'm back and forth with the style, but we are having a blast. He always injects humour in the text.

Did a pirate lion. I am surprised that I have people asking for prints of it. It was just for fun.

[Mimi Simon]

A page from my graphic novel proposal I'm putting together.

[MarcRobinson]

@Pamela-Fraley hey thank Pamela. I wish I could work on our books all the time.
