birds of a feather

I stumbled on this awesome video tutorial while studying up on web design. It’s a perfect demonstration on the process of taking a sketch and turning it into a digital piece of art. Ya know, like what i do. While I don’t do a lot of the comic stuff like this video demonstrates, it does show you all the manipulation involved with such a process.Drawing individual shapes, colorizing them, overlaying shapes, subtracting from shapes, adding some zip with light and shadow… yep, that’s all part of it. I found this video quite inspiring!! Looks like I have some practicing to do!

Whatcha Think?
