Comic Strip

"Rants" by Akira
(2003-03-03)

I didn't want to work on comic strips tonight, so I decided to do an illustration instead. Title is "Kotone with long hair?" It took me like 2 hours (1 hour pencil+ink, 1 hour photoshop). This is how I usually do my color works:

  1. Do a rough sketch on an A4 paper and ink it with a pen. (This time, drawing was size 5 x 8 inches)
  2. Scan with 600dpi black/white. (Photoshop)
  3. Select and Fill area with basic color. (Photoshop)
  4. Draw shadow with pencil tool. (Photoshop)
  5. Shrink to 300x600.

I can only do anime-style painting. I'm totally bad at other drawing styles. The reason is because I didn't take any art class at high school or college. So I don't know the basic of drawing or painting. My only textbook was anime and manga, so my knowledge is very limited. I'm pretty sure other artists can see my lack of skills when they see my illustration ^ ^ ;
