WIP. practicing on coloring. Been working on linearts lately, just warming up the tablet pen.

where the light comes from? The right side?

aiyo people. Why so serious? Cheer up lah.

One post and you guys already up in arms. Lantak lah. Move on. Less talk, more art, yeah?

To adam> I understand how you feel, but to be honest, this is not the place you can look for stellar works. I know that the quality is not up to your par, but give it break, okay? I really appreciate this thread since people are willingly give out comments and put their work, and not many i've seen doing that in local forums. Open your mind and open your heart. We're all learning here and i hope you do too. There's no shame of admitting that the results is not up to expectations but at least we're having fun. That's the most important part.

Nonetheless, lets get back to motion, people. Cant wait to see more works

Benny > Im sorry but could you rephrase that? I kinda dont understand what you're asking. sorry.

I apologize for the late reply. I was at Mdec's IPCC event today, and its full of disappointments. Despite that, there's alot of fun and exciting parts too. That's another story.

Benny> The method of drawing marvel/dc style isn't that different from drawing normally, except that the shadows are more linear and 'high contrast' to certain extent. However the artist should define the lines properly as the pencils they normally do will be passed on the inker to be inked. They should keep in mind that lines are not scratchy, double-lined or too much gradient effect (transition from light to dark) as this will make the inker pissed off, confused and utterly destroy your work.

In a sense, your work should be clean, defined and readable.

There's a few methods to do this, though. And all of them requires deep understanding of anatomy, lighting and dynamic shots and angles. However knowledge of architecture, mechanical, and fashion is added plus.
The first method normally what people do: Draw straight on the board. However i do not like this method because it can be wasteful, since if i change my mind in the middle of artwork, there's no CRTL+Z for it. Make sure you're really comfortable and confirm with the layout that you want, and work on it until its finished.

The second method involves a LightBox. Its tedious, backbreaking and difficult, Technically you're working twice for one page. First, draw the page on a different piece of paper, then use the lightbox to trace the drawing onto the drawing board. I rather use this method since i still can change and move around the layout just in case i'm not happy about it. However the result are normally impressive. You can get a very clean lines and usually impress alot of editors out there.

To be honest, its hard for me to explain through the forum, since i prefer coaching one by one. But put this as a base: The shadows are normally solid black, and the lines that comes out (see that lines sticking out?) those are gradient lines, since everything needs to be defined by inklines later. Its called feathering, by the way. The line thickness dictates the distance from the camera.

I hope it does make sense to you. If you can show me your work, then i can comment more.

heh. I won it last year, so i cant join this year otherwise people will come with pitchforks and burn me at stake. Oh well. Giving chance to other people to win lol.

speaking of which, i was a concept artist/creative director before decided to take a leap of faith into freelancing world. Slight pang of regret, but hey, its not too bad.

Benny > refresh my mind pls. I usually know people who ACTUALLY knows that i work in BB. Care to tell? ^^;

Edit: typo.

Yume > that depends. If you wanna put up finished works, its fine as well, as long as its your works.

Old artwork, circa 2010. Wish i could repair this, but i've lost the original when moving house.
