artlover Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 i still enjoy the vids. whats the process you take from going to the gray shading to the color. do u completely go over it again with color, idk if that makes since. do u do the gray just for a reference of shading then redo it all with different shades of color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeslyCrusher Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 i use a process called overlay, it basically turns the airbrush tool into a water color effect, where it uses the values of the grey and tints it, where it wont go over black or white, and lays the appropriate tone over the grey. and then after i go into a new layer to further blend those down using a normal brush tool on normal settings. alot more like coloring with markers than with paint, and it allows me to color or recolor something until i like it without having worked myself back into a corner that i cant get out of like when hoping straight in with color. it doesnt work for all styles of painting but for my kind of style it seems to be perfect for what i need done. also even though the overlay does alot of the shading for me im still using 3-4 values of color in the filling, its just easier this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeslyCrusher Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 so this is going to be a visual slap in the face to the thread, so i will be doing a major overhaul after this page is filled and making a collected post of all the pieces done for the dailies up until that point just to...i dunno regroup from the pictures that dont fall into the sketch a day catagory but ya i was sitting here, and all the sudden i got the urge to see what kind of sketches i could find from my past to put in here, so im going to post them, ranging from 1995-2002, i'll be sure to point out what is what and i will prolly be ranting and reminiscing here and there as well... this is really just to show newer people that...it isnt something you just wake up and know how to do...and a good way to get some laughs at myself at the same time without further delay 1995 all the way live, one of the only sketches i have laying around from that time, the year i got into graffiti these are from 2000, i got some more of these im going to post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork~Chop Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 So with the Bamboo pad, you are drawing on the pad, and see what you are doing on the computer screen? Was it hard to transition from paper to digital? It seems strange to be drawing on the pad, but looking at the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeslyCrusher Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 shit man having seen ur old stuff i now wanna see ur transition from 2d to 3d styles hahaha for me it was a pure accident, i was painting with clone at a spot we were running for some time, i was trying to do normal letters...failing again since i couldnt for the life of me paint, and i ended up shading my 3-d a bit heavier than i would like, and i was like....hmmm that looks sorta 3-d and so i started to attempt to do it each time i painted, getting a bit more 3-d as i went....let me see if the flick is sitting in my desk drawer if it is i will flick it and post it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeslyCrusher Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 i really need to buy a photo album for these edit: the pile looks small in this picture :( so here it is, i started this piece as a normal panel peice...messed up and ended up trying to make it look 3-d...as you can see i ruined both the panel style and the 3-d style, but it lead me down the road that was to become the panel style 3-ds that i do, not letting myself be dictated by what 3-ds should look like, or what normal burners should look like...bastardizing them into what they are today which is nothing more than what i feel looks right for me.
