Tutorial Thingy - Tumblr Posts

What medium do you use to draw? Traditional, tablet, mouse, etc. of course this is if you don't mind me asking!

Uhm… mind if I turn this in a sorta… tutorial thingy? How I kinda like to draw? :”D

I had much problems with sketching digital up to now, so I prefer to draw with pencil on normal paper (the rubber cap on (1) is pretty handy). And that way I can doodle whenever I want and not have to wait until I get home.

I also lineart it along the way because that also works better with traditional for me. The pen in (2) is 0,1 cm and I have one for 0,3. (The one in (4) is just for fancy brush lines :”D ). (And the white gloss paint marker helps great for messed up parts. I love this pen.)

Next is scanning.

Then correcting the lineart and removing dirt.

Setting up the light and shadow values like this greatly helps removing lots of dirt and pencil lines that I forgot to edit. Then I smoothen the lines because over this they get a bit sharper.

And last I set it up in Photoshop for coloring and shading with mah graphic tablet.

Setting the white background to transparent is also pretty handy for colored lineart!

I hope this kinda answered your question! >u
