Drawin' 100 somethings. Again.
-
These are great! The colouring is (obviously) fantastic - but your pencil drawing (the deer) is also just as nice to look at. The overall style is lots of fun, and your ability to anthropomorphize the animals without sacrificing their specific anatomies is superb!
-
@art-of-b Cool! We're in the same boat. Finally taking it a bit more seriously... better late than never I suppose. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
-
@art-of-b this is very funny! It would also be a great portfolio piece.
-
Woah! The mouse and the sparrow looks reely cool as well. Do you use a custom made brush? I just noticed the texture and they are amazing.
-
What kind of tablet do you use? A standard one or a screen one? I love your clean line work. Not that I'm trying to credit your tablet for your awesome skill, but I have an intuos and find line work very difficult to do with it. Just curious.

@nyrrylcadiz
I do use a custom brush. It's a modified pencil tilt brush. However, it's a painter brush, not Photoshop.
-
Thanks! Linework's one of the few things that I'm close to happy with XD
I use an old cintiq 13HD. Linework would be super tough without a cintiq.

- Moose.

@art-of-b and these only take a day to do?

Anywhere between 1.5 - 3.5 hours or so depending on how much I like it.
-
@art-of-b maybe i'll try this myself, I like this latest one you did "Moose"
-
- Dog.
First time I saw a Tibetan Mastiff I thought it was a lion crossed with a bear.
-
22 - Toad. I think I'll polish this one. I think it'll work out.
-
WIP. So close to a process that's replicable and works.
It looks dark right now because I'm constraining my values to 128 or under. It'll brighten up during the final paint.
-
Awesome pieces! I like how you distort the characters a bit to make the feeling of movement stronger. Do you always work on greyscale and add color later?
-
Thanks!
I'm trying to work as much as I can in greyscale before adding colour. It seems to really help.
What I used to do was lay in local colour then fiddle with value using multiply and overlay layers. I'm getting a lot more success with a value painting and a colourize layer.
-
way to go!!!! love them all, fantastic style you have!
and posting it here may be a good call to push yourself to finish the whole 100 -
Thanks
i sincerely doubt I'll get all the way to 100, but I'll at the very least get a few portfolio pieces out of the deal.
-
These are really great! Love your shape language and the linework. I was toying with the idea of doing 100 animals too, but ah...time.
BTW, do you know Chris Ayers´ books “The Daily Zoo”? He drew an animal a day for a year when he was in remission from leukemia and it was so successful (and so therapeutic) that he went on to do it for further three or four years. -
Thank you!
I'm finding less and less time myself. So many things to work on, so little time.
I have not looked at Chris Ayers' books, but I absolutely will! Thanks for suggesting. My library of artists is surprisingly small and I'm working to expand it.
