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.

If you were to ever post a high speed video on Youtube (or wherever) showing what goes on onscreen, I would be forever in your debt. Though to be fair, my debt ain't worth much.

Looks like you're using the pencil tool. Do you use that for all your painting, or just for flatting/separations. Because honestly I couldn't imagine getting such smooth transitions with the pencil tool.

Awesome work in progress! I like the little "class" a few comments ago about channels and layers. Although I hate to use layers/channels, I'm still learning. So I just do it straight up without any.

I'm looking forward to this one.

I'm still amazed you don't use a wacom tablet. Out of curiousity, what technique do you use when you approach photoshop with a mouse? I'm currently still learning photoshop.

yikes, someone's an eager beaver, how nice of you to accommodate that request.
i could just bite into your work and eat it. it looks so tasty!

lol your awesome!

If you've ever got free time (lol) you should do a tutorial! I'd love to see how you make these pieces. What I really love about your work is how the skin is painted 'soft' but you've got such a lovely bold line around the figure too! I love a good line. :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
haha someone actually did that?
looking good though. the lines are so smooth.
what kind of brush do you use for the smooth parts? I never get it that smooth 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
with an answer like that. don't be surprised if you get "WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON RIGHT NOW!" asked/yelled more often...btw have you been told today that you're a brilliant artist?!

Wow, Adam! That's AWESOME! I see you have the white color keys of death as well 
I love studying stuff like this, especially from someone I look up to. (No, I don't think you're taller than me, but you might be... yeah you might be, so it's ... um anyways) And see what I can gather from the images themselves.
Very cool of you man!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, the whites in the palettes are there on purpose; I put them there so that my lines of colors can be slightly mor organized.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OOOOOOOOOOOOh that's a good idea! See... I would have never thought of that. That's why you're the one that's Pro and I'm trying to become. lol.
Thanks for the idea, Adam.

Very nice to see the in-progress work of a professional, this is a treat!

Mwahahaha, excellent advice
I have to agree, I love how you do skin tones.

Do you paint the figure in photoshop or in illustrator?
I can't tell if that's super good digipainting or ridiculously snazzy vector skillz.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's Photoshop. I'm none too skilled with Illustrator.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not to worry, for I've been learning Illustrator is not good for anything like this painting...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're wrong... ~LimKis is and example of what one can do with Illustrator if you learn and try a lot of things... just like Photoshop...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
YES!
YESSSS!
This is awesome. I cannot wait for her to be done, we do get to see her right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
can you give us an estimation on when the first all star wonderwoman hits the shelfs? I've been dying to get the books.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. I'm not giving anyone any estimations. That way, if the book doesn't come out when it's supposed to, no one will be disappointed.
It's taking me forever to do everything myself, so I don't want to make any promises.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh.... you really killing me softly with this one...
How about letting us know how far you have been?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure what you mean by 'letting us know how far you have been', but if you mean "how far along are you", then, I'm sorry, no. That's like giving an estimate. If I say that I'm half done, then that creates an impression of how much there is to go.
I'm working on it, and trying to get it done and make it worth the wait. That's all I'm comfortable saying.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's what I mean. pardon my bad english.
Fair enough.
I'm absolutely sure that this one's going to be worth the wait. I think I better stop asking questions so you have more time to finish it.

very nice!
geez i wish i unstand channels in photoshop!i just use layers. i bought that book on coloring and your mention in it. but everybody uses channels. i have no clue
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You use channels, too. Everyone uses channels. When you do anything in a Layer, you are also technically working in Channels at the same time.
Layers and Channels are not variations of the same thing. Every Layer is made up of Channels (4, if you are in CMYK Mode; 3, if in RGB).
Every Layer is an image; every image in Photoshop is a composite of Channels. Each Channel is technically a Grayscale image, one each pertaining to as certain color. When viewed simulatenously, they create a color image. When you are looking at or working in a Channel, it is the same thing as if you had a Grayscale mode JPEG open. Channels are just individual parts of a larger 4-color image (assuming we're talking CMYK Mode here).

THANK Adam!

Ouch... my head hurts... But bolshoie spasibo for the explanation, actually it makes much sense!
By the way, Wonder Woman rocks! I can not wait until the finished image!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Puzhalsta!
I shall post Wonder Woman when she's done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what language is that?, also, so, when you are coloring in photoshop, after scaninng your tonal value drawing, you just do it by tweaking the channels?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's Russian.
Also, I don't tweak the Channels; no one really does - there's no point as far as what's being done in this instance. All work is done in Layers.
