Digital Romancing
Posted: Thu May 04, 2006 2:36 pmSo I'm back with another one of those block rockin' beats! 
I debated doing a string of storyboard as my next postable image. But I opted to stay my present course and grind in what I've been learning (digital art!). So far it's coming along nicely!
A few points I got stuck at. I sat back and debated my next move. I played around with a few tricks and solved them into submission! (Except for one instance where the Burn and Dodge tools wouldn't work, no matter what I did. 
)
I transfered my scanned image to line art (most of my images won't be scans) at a rather HUGE size. The original was drawn on half of normal 8 1/2x11 paper, much like my previous image. Since size seemed to be a voice in the other one, I blew up the image before lining it. Then when I was all done, I shrunk it. As a result, I think it looks quite a bit cleaner.
If you want, you can view the paper version of the storyboard here. It was unfortunateyly scanned at a low dpi, so it looks worse than it really is. http://x1c.xanga.com/e6aa0154c403552245786/b35059489.jpg
Also, I have different versions of overall lighting. When I finished, I played about with the lighting a tad. What I posted above is my prefered picture. But you tell me what you think.
