Description sketch (45mins) -> Lineart (1.5hr) -> Grayscale (2hrs) -> Final colouring (3hrs)

All steps done in Painter.

Sometimes I paint in grayscale, sometime not. Depending on the final style I want. But it is relatively easier to get the good tonal values when painting in grayscale.

Did you do the lineart with a tablet or a mouse?

How on earth you are able to draw this kind of lineart in 1.5 hr? I mean, there is so much lines, what pixel size you use in your inking brush?

how did you go from grayscale to color? i am trying it but it all just seems to wash out and loose the drastic contrast between the light and dark areas.

I must say thanks, I myself like many others, is still developing my art skills to one day soon be able to produce a similar image, but many people do not seem to take the time or want to share the knowledge with others who are not on the same talent/skill level as themselves. I guess it is obvious from your pages of complements, I am gratefull.

is it better to do it in gray scale before coloring?, does it make it easier for shadowing? great work btw

Wow! The process is really impressive. What kind of graphic tablet do you use? Wacom? If yes, Intuos or Cintiq? And do you use watercolor or another tool?

BobbyDash [2009-05-31 05:05:48 +0000 UTC]

how exactly do you go from greyscale paint stage to the full color stage?
do you lay color underneath the greay scale layer? above?

I've been looking for that answer too, for quite some months actually.

I may be wrong, but I think using a multiply layer over the grayscale will do the trick
