I redid the inks. I'm probably the only one who can really tell the difference as usual :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: I've been doing a few things to consciously try and make the linework as high quality as possible before colouring. I often fall into the 'fix it in post' mentality' which really leads to the piece suffering later on.

A few things I've been doing include turning off brush stabilization, working at the size the work will be viewed (so around 50%) instead of zooming in, and this time around reeeeeeally slowing down and turning off brush calibration.

I'm not gonna redo it again, I'm just gonna move on

You are a rock star!

@Braden-Hallett It is looking nice, but I am finding the much more extensive patchwork of metal distracting. I love the stop sign touch though. It might even out more with coloring.

Just thought I would give you a heads up on what I am seeing.

[braden H]

@theprairiefox That's good to know! Those lines'll fade away with colour and value. I'm in that strange transitional period where my linework either needs more texture or has way too much Someday that proper middle ground'll click into place, but not today.

Back to the basic value structure. Next is local value and shading.

OMG your process is awesome, that is why your pieces are soooo successful-thank you for sharing, and reminding me to use the techniques I have learned here at SVS

[demotlj]

Like @lmrush I really appreciate the fact that you share your process. I have always loved your work and it is very helpful to see how you get there.

WOW I love the storytelling in this!

[lmrush]

@demotlj I love seeing everyone's process-OK we need a new thread now..."Share your process!"

[demotlj]

@lmrush That would be great to have a thread for everyone's process. I learn so much from seeing the stages of people's work.

[lmrush]

@demotlj I was looking quickly at feeds and thought you all were talking to me sorry for the screw up- whoops!!!

You're most welcome Though it's not really my process. It's all those SVS lessons comin' through.

They're certainly inching closer and closer to the consistent B/B+ range instead of the D/C- with a few random B's mized in range

[demotlj]

@lmrush The fact is I like looking at everyone's process so my comment applies to you as well

[animatosoor]

@Braden-Hallett This looks smashing! I can already tell it would be an awesome addition to your portfolio. I'm also thankful that you're sharing your process.

[braden H]

@shinjifujioka Thanks! I probably keep saying this, but storytelling's something I'm definitely trying to work on Slooooooowly gettin' better at it.
