    Here's an study of something I want to work on more. The building shape and the dude are boring and uninspired but I finally got myself an efficient workflow to paint this kind of stuff. Perhaps it will become my first full digital painting ever??

    New one. Spent way too much time on this one (was supposed to be a thumbnail only)

    I'll probably rework the sky later!

    very cool simon!! I think the clouds could have use some more work, but very cool otherwise =)

    Yup they look horrible. There's a guy at work who's great at painting clouds, I'll get him to teach me a few tricks

    Kay... don't get me wrong, my question wasn't an insult or anything, completely on the contrary! I was just curious, cos you guys art are so alike in the brushes and colors, etc.

    New one. Now I need to figure out a way to color this naturally. I want to keep it quite desaturated but I still wanna have some color variation. Any suggestions??

    That scene reminds me of Tekkon Kinkreet, the anime, when The Rat gets shot. It has a orange/brownish tint to the lights that I think would suit your illustration well. I'll try to find a picture to show you.

    Wow thanks a lot Corwin, that's exactly what I had in mind color wise! I'll detail it more tonight and then color it.

    I actually found it a lot easier to build/details shapes painting in black & white only, since you can focus on the composition/details etc... but it gets a lot harder to get the right colors in the end.

    I would suggest some other thing. Before you go one detailing your tonethumb, go and do a real good drawing over it. It will help you a lot by bringing colors right into your picture. Because you don't have to first think about what has to be there an then what tone and then what color.

    My workflow would be...

    rough scetch for composition

    tone thumbs

    color thumbs

    draw everything in you want

    color it...

    thats my way. Perhaps this helps.
