Description
Someone just sent me a note asking "WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON RIGHT NOW!"Well, when someone 'asks' you a question in ALL CAPS and with an exclamation mark instead of a question mark, what can you do except take a screen capture of your desktop while you are working.
If you are the person who sent me said imperative request... here you go.
Hit Caps Lock off, and try some de-caf.

exactly! the problem with the artist in these day..they copy from the other artist , which gives a fake results..not like classic artist, they learn and create from the real world (as you said sir), which is the best way
thanks

were you using the blur tool to get that glow effect on the whip, whatever you were using it seems brilliantly simple.

It's a feathered selection using the Lasso tool, and applying color set to Screen or Linear Dodge mode.

lol I can't be bothered to write that down but I'm going to do my best to remember that XD because it seems like a really nifty technique!

I really like how you change the color of the black, inked contour lines and areas such as nostrils so they're not as strong to the eye. I was wondering what method you use to do this in CS2 and how you can use it to make separate selections for areas like the lasso, hair, and skin.

I keep my lineart as a Channael, a saved selection. Anytime I want to make lines into colored lines, I just select the lines, delete them from my lineart channel, and then with the selection still active, I color in it on the Layer my colors are one (usually the Background Layer).

Well I just have to say THANKS!!! (imperative way) not only for taking the job of showing your WIP to a lot of fans but also for the free classes that you are offering to us.

I'm happy to pass on what little I've picked up, to anyone a little further back on the path.

Kaunis!
That's Finnish (not my native language) for "beautiful".
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you so much!
How do I write 'thank you' in Finnish?
-AH!-
π: 0 β©: 1
Kiitos (pronounced KEE-toss) = "thank you" in Finnish
EipΓ€ kestΓ€ (AY-pah KESS-tah, but say the ah's like a New Yorker) = "you're welcome"
If you model Selina Kyle's face on Audrey Hepburn's, who do you model Wonder Woman's face on? I love that your piece of yours in ImagineFX where Wonder Woman is gasping in shock at seeing her 'old' self.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wonder Woman isn't based on any one person, sadly. I was lucky to have Audrey Hepburn as an inspiration for my take on Selina Kyle, but my version of Wonder Woman isn't based on any one person.
Thank you for the language help!
I mean, "Kiitos!"

EipΓ€ kestΓ€.
I recall, too, the quote from the article about you in ImagineFX: "I'd like to draw a woman so beautiful you want to avert your eyes." When I see your renditions of Wonder Woman and Dejah Thoris, I feel like averting my eyes...but I don't.
And Selina Kyle in your avator looks like she's saying: "Oh my!"

That was hilarious. Caps-lock is the bane of my existence.
I so cannot wait for All-Star Wonder Woman.

Nice....As always....When are you going to do a video tutorial on coloring? lol

Here we go again. All caps and exclamation.
^.^
But it would be really good a step by step.
Mr. Hughes you are the man. I love the technique you use to draw and paint. An inspiration indeed for me to keep working.
Sorry if my english is not the best but i try.
See ya later.
English isn't your first language!? had you not made the last comment I wouldn't have guessed my friend

"Here we go again. All caps and exclamation.
^.^
But it would be really good a step by step."
Out of context this one. But it was a reply when someone asked you to do a step by step whit your paintings.

omgg is this done!? this look phenomenal, her hair is what always makes me weak and it looks amazing man. don't torment us and please share the final product
keep up the great work my friend

I'm anxious to see the work finished. One reason because I love the way you draw Wonder Woman and the other reason is, arguing from the "preview" you gave, that I'm sure I'll use your picture as a gesture reference for a draw I'm doing.
Great work
π: 0 β©: 0
Looks gorgeous as usual.

ok man, youΒ΄re a drawing god, youΒ΄re such an inspiration! IΒ΄ve seen you work both traditionally and digitally but, may I ask you how that hair is done?
I mean, is it digital? It looks so perfect, and at the same time so free(not sure IΒ΄m making sense )... the way those curves are done it looks digital...but IΒ΄m just not sure...
Thank you for being an inspiration and for sharing all this!
Cheers from a portuguese fan!
Obrigado!

Is it true All Star WW has been cancelled?

Not as far as I know!

Ha! I was just talking to a friend about how I don't see much of Wonder Woman anymore and bam! Now I see her everywhere. x'D
Can't wait until this is done~

Adam, do you color in CMYK? Are your swatches based on the "recognized" comic colors (I forget how many those are)? Perhaps you can share your palette as a resource here on DA?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I color in CMYK. If you're coloring for print purposes, I think it's kinda essential. RGB Mode should be used only for web and video-based applications.
My current swatches started out based on printable comic colors, but it's been added on to so much it's now a disorganized mess. I wish PS had a way to easily re-organize swatches.

Very cool. Thanks for the peek! - T

Its going to be an amazing piece when its done!
Excellent! : )

haha. im as excited with your comments as with your art!

Adam Hughes, from Page 1 of the comments: "It's taking me forever to do everything myself, so I don't want to make any promises."
Doing everything yourself? Are you colouring the interior pages now as well?
I always get a kick out of your work, Adam, and I'm looking forward to All-Star Wonder Woman! One request, if I may; make sure when DC does the collected edition, they have a sketchbook section in there like Mignola's Hellboy TPBs; I love seeing how these projects develop.
HK.

Adam, you and your work are an absolute inspiration.
I was wondering, have you seen the Wonder Woman DVD yet, and if so.. what did you think?
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually haven't seen the DVD.
Partly because I'm avoiding any and all Wonder Woman material while working on ALL-STAR WONDER WOMAN, so that I can keep myself 'on the path', as it were.
But mostly I'm avoiding it because I was signed up to do the box art and they dumped me at the last minute to go with different art.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, if someone bought or rented the DVD based on your cover art the animation would be a huge letdown, so maybe it worked out for the better!
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know...
By all my friends' comments, the film is pretty hardcore, with lots of violent PG-13 action. I'm told 40+ people get killed in the first 10 minutes.
What's more misleading - my DVD art on a Bruce Timm-style cartoon, or JUSTICE-LEAGUE-style cartoon DVD art on a film that is drastically more adult & violent than any previous WB/DC animated project?
