More texture, or less texture?
-
@NessIllustration Very true. The potential for analysis paralysis with photoshop is overwhelming sometimes. And that ever so slight change in blue hue is important, darnit!
-
@josegalue25 No, no great difference in time. If anything option A has more potential for being quicker (a bit) since I think it blends a bit better with basic shading.
Good idea, though. If one were significantly faster it'd be a no-brainer
-
I'd have to agree with most that A is working really well. The grain is noticeable, but not distracting. Almost like how we can always see our nose, but our brain blocks it out. I can see the heavier grain, but only if I'm looking.
All three look great though, keep up the good work!

@jasondmcintosh Interesting! Thanks for the feedback
-
@kaitlinmakes Thanks! Organic and down-to-earth is good, I think. I'll have to make sure to remember to give the face and other 'smooth' areas a softer touch
-
@Justin-Moss Good know! Thank you

@Braden-Hallett
I like A and C - I guess I don't like B because the hair is lighter (high contrast) and the graininess is more evident and it's like dirt/particles of sand stuck in his hair. Hair wise when it is dark I would go with A because C looks too glossy if you want to go with more of a grain. I like boots in C but like the belt and hold the pants up straps in all three versions. The shirt in A and I am just getting lost in liking certain details haha.
-
I like the line work of A and the texture/ detail of B.
You are so good. -
@Heather-Boyd 'hold the pants up straps' is totally how I'm gonna have the character refer to suspenders in the comic Thanks for the feedback!
-
@burvantill Thanks :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: I'm rather partial to the linework of 'a' as well. Closer to ink than pencil almost.
-
I like better A as well but can't say why
-
@Braden-Hallett
Royalties baby if they make you big haha. Thanks, I knew what they were but I couldn’t find the words. lols -
@Braden-Hallett is it possible to just run texture along terminator/halftone area only? They all look very nice to me but I would vote for A if I had to pick one.
-
@Kevin-Longueil Thanks! It's POSSIBLE to run the texture along the terminator of the shadow only, but I think it'd amount to more work if you get what I mean
-
@Braden-Hallett I am thinking about what @davidhohn kept saying in class, "Get more by doing less."
I would vote whichever of these is the quickest/easiest for you to do. I would agree with @NessIllustration that they all look like your work and there isn't a big difference in delivery... just my 2 thoughts.
-
@Braden-Hallett Ooh, I think I'm in the minority, but I prefer B. With A as a close second. I'm liking the lighter outline on parts of B. All are beautifully rendered, though.
-
@theprairiefox I really do need to remember that 'get more by doing less'
Amount of work's about the same, I think. This has a lot to do with me kinda struggling to make my work look better without tearing it apart first, I think. (I've really gotta do that dream portfolio project)
-
@Johanna-Kim Interesting! Thanks for the feedback
-
@Braden-Hallett These are really good. I like the line of A and lots of the yellow texture and highlights on B. Maybe mix the two and see what you come up with. Like how your work is evolving! Cool work.
