      How long did it take you to put together the first image you posted?

        @Eric-Castleman It is difficult for me to count together time used for an image - I use lots of scrap time for planning. I did some thumbnails on the plane to NY - probably for about one hour. From thumbnails to first pass and character design it was around 3 hours. Final line took two "short studio sessions" (I have two long ones of 10 hours and five or six short ones of about 2-3 hours during a normal week). So about 10 hours in total for the final line?

          @smceccarelli I believe you can transfer psd files from procreate to photo shop but not the other way around. Fantastic work!

              @smceccarelli This is looking great! It's exactly what I had in mind and so far the best example of how to do this assignment from someone at SVS! I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows I just launched the critiques for #draw50things class here at SVS. Doesn't look like you need it though 🙂 - Will

                @admin Thank you Will! Your feedback means the world to me - very much appreciate your words! I did not have time to get to color yet, but definitely plan to finish this. And let me say that without your video I would not have tackled something like this nor would I have thought that it can be done so "easily" - it was invaluable guidance!

                    It looks fantastic, if it was a computer game environment I'd have to look at everything in this room and try to pick them up 🙂

                      I love it. One of the things I love most about it beyond the execution and style is it is something I would have never thought of!

                      Also procreate updated you can go back to photoshop btw. So both ways with a psd with layers intact. I finally have a process down which is odd I sketch in procreate, take to photoshop or mangastudio to paint then back to procreate to finalized. Backwards I know.

                        @Stephanie-Hider Not that backward. I actually love ProCreate brushes better than Photoshop brushes. I even asked the ProCreate service center if there is a way to export their brushes into photoshop, but there isn't (the brush engines are different). I was trying to find out why I like them so much, and I believe it is the pressure-sensitivity algorithm - it seems closer to how a natural brush or pencil behaves. Recently, I have been playing with ClipStudioPaint, and I think the way brushes behave in that software is much closer to ProCreate - very very nice. I can see why people prefer CSP for sketching and inking (I do not think the painting flexibility is close to Photoshop, though I may be wrong)...
                        But yes...abundance problems!

                        Anyway, I need to get going with color on this one. I will start today!

                          I really really love how CSP paints. I wish Kyle would do brushes for it but I have a ton so I shouldnt complain and only use 3 or 4 of them on a regular basis. I literally cut my painting time in half if not more painting in CSP. So glad to see others like it too 😃

                            So, I did try out the extreme background/foreground separation - I do like it. This piece was such an experiment on so many levels that I feel confused about it being successful or not. But I am quite proud of it at this moment...

                                It looks amazing @smceccarelli - congratulations on a wonderful piece! It works on so many levels - colour, value, composition - and it's really interesting to look at with all the details. A really great way to fulfil the challenge 🙂
