The 'Core Sketch Thread!?

Nice as always Koko.

Peris: That last one with the flower is scary as hell

[Minos]

Ok here's some stuff I did recently... Not as good as Koko's of course but they are still cool imo

[Sindwiller]

Killer flesh eating fungus ftw! Very cool Min0

EDIT: How do you guys (Mino & Koko) actually color all this stuff. Can you give some tips regarding sketching in general?

[Minos]

this is how I do it (in photoshop):

- scan a drawing

- Adjust brightness/contrast so the edges are all uniform and strong

- Duplicate the layer and set it as "multiply" and name it "drawing". You will paint everything below this layer.

- Change the background to white

- Add a layer below the "drawing" layer and paint the basic colors with a hard-edge brush

- After the basic colors are done add another layer on top of it and name it "shadows". Use grey'ish tones to paint the shadows and set the layer to "linear burn" with 60% opacity

- Add another layer on top of the basic colors layer and name it "hightlights". Paint the hightlights with grey'ish tones again and set the layer to "screen" or even "color dodge". Adjust the opacity at will.

This is just a rough idea on how I do it. Another good trick is to link the highlights and shadows layers to the basic colors, so its easy to paint them. Here's an awesome article about this:

Also koko posted an awesome video tutorial on the 2d-art forum. You should check it too.

Here's a little opencanvas sketch... I dont like how the lips turned out, better next time!

from my sketchbook:

practice on lips

I suck at taking pictures of my sketches

[KoKo5oVaR]

I really like the first one, mostly the colors and the treatment you used on this one, but that's not a big surprise

so i've allowed myself to edit it

but i rather like yours infact, the lines you used really make it something special

[General Vivi]

lots of fine work here guys . Keep up the good work ^_^

[Minos]

Ok here's some more stuff. I know these drawings have got all kinds of anatomical and lighting erros but practising leads to perfection so... Also, nevermind the weird button, those were taken straight from my blog ( http://www.thiagoklafke.net )

[Pericolos0]

cool mino, keep on drawing and looking at loads of examples and pictures and your anatomy will get better and better .

another opencanvas doodle! I'm in love with this app.

[Minos]
