Very nice graphics here everyone, Im impressed. Its delightful to navigate around and each page be a new pleasure. =)
I began drawing a female medieval knight entirely in photoshop. Someone told me I sucked at using photoshop, so did this one for the pride lol.
However Im done yet. I kind of got desmoralized by the next stage: Drawing the face... I soon realized using black wont do, looks too weird. So Ill have to find middle blending tones. =(
Of course, I also need to smooth some lines and curves, and bring more depth to some parts like her hands and shoulders.
But overall Im quite happy with the result.
Im seriously thinking about buying a wacom® tablet, can someone recomend me a model?
Sagess that looks Great!! i cant wait to see it finished
and yes buying a wacom tablet is a MUST although i kind of hated in the biginning but now that i got used to it cant live without it
Thanks a lot for the nice replies.
And thanks Magneto for the wacom tips, I went there and checked out the prices. But unfortunatly im a full time student, so Im not working atm, so no money
But as soon as the summer comes, Ill make it a priority.
Meanwhile, back to paper sketches... drew another warrior (I love drawing them).
But the problem with paper sketches is that I dont have a scanner, nor nice inking pen, so the webcam picture is often faded.
Im in a great situation lol... no wacom, no scanner, no inking pen. =P
hehe
I did use the brightness/contrast, and adjusting curves in photoshop, but it didnt get much better. I also tried loading the chanel as selection and deleting the brighter parts to keep only the outline.
But either process were harming the picture too much. The best would be to ink it on paper then take another picture when the sun is out and strong... but winter is coming, so I wont be seeing any sun until april :P
I am getting very busy with university and a with the management of a club I joined. So i dont think Ill be working on anything for some months now.
Hopefully Ill be dropping by to see YOUR pictures ^^
supurb fantastic excellent wonderfully magnificent work... as usual!
the Hellboy pic is beyond good, puts 2000AD artists to shame!

Good Stuff! I like the one on the left more prolly cause of the way it looks on the yellow bg. Love the graphic feel.

Thanks man! Really good to see you here too. Im gonna try and make it a point to post more. And I hope you guys do the same.
Magnetos_II,
its pencil scanned into photoshop and saved as a jpeg. The original images were drawn onto regular copier paper and I use a mechanical pencil with a 0.5 lead. I scan them in at a 150 dpi resolution.
Hope that helps.
Hope to see everyone including me post more
Peece,

Amazing work melman! The first one being my favorite.
Good stuff nayades. I prefer the one on the right- The color's are awesome, it's got sort of a faded 30’s classy sort of look to it.
This one's sort of a random sketch from back at the beginning of my arrow phase... It was done on a handout durring class... so the paper is blue.
Edit: I hadn't even realized this, but Lincoln has his arm around a broomstick with crude breasts attached to it... Normally I wouldn't even bother mentioning it, but I figured the distasteful nature warranted some sort of "warning", no matter how unnecessary or ridiculous it may be.
