Kinda interesting from a technical standpoint




All photoshop. Not even any Manga Studio sharp-brush stuff this time around. Abandoning my pencil work base was a good piece of advice, at least until I learn to color properly. The background thing was a last minute inspiration, I kinda like it more than the figure itself now, heh.

It's difficult to let survive any 'artistric' quality to the brush strokes after blending. Experienced color-work artists have an amazing knack for this, I hope to develop something half-way passable in this respect.

I need to make time to draw the last ZX chapter too. Busy busy busy.

But reasonably content!

Thanks for the thoughts and pointers!

I set my main brush to no-width-variation-due-to-pressure, which seems counter-intuitive but it really is not (for me at least).

I assign pen pressure instead to be relative to opacity and/or flow.
