Description Speed video of the entire work time condensed into 4 minutes:[link]

A 3.5 hour quickie of Psylocke from The X-Men done in photoshop entirely.

I get asked a lot how I draw or how I ink or how I color so I thought this would be a good way to show from start to finish. You can see Psylocke come together from a blank sheet of paper to the rough pencils, to the inks and then all the way to what you see above. Unfortunately, some of the color rendering file got corrupted so it's missing a little toward the end but I plan on doing another one of these for full color rendering sometime in the near future. If you have any suggestions for techniques you'd like to see please feel free to mention them here or on the Youtube video page.

Hope you dig!

You've had to been asked a million times by now but I couldn't find a FAQ so here goes...what equipment are you using...mainly the tablet..this is the first time I've seen it act exactly like a pencil so my curiousity has been raised...

I'm drawing on a Cintiq 21UX and using a set of custom brushes I found on the web.

Thanks for sharing that, Mark. Absolutely mind-blowing!

Just curious - are you using your own custom brushes for the pencil and ink stages or are those the stock PS brushes? I've never seen any brushes that look that close to the traditional materials.

Cool. On a side note I heard Psylocke would get a redesigned costume during her stint in Uncanny Xforce I really hope they didn't just mean "her sash is now grey"

That's great stuff.

Really niceley pulled off. I really like her stance and the details n also the shading.
Altough the part with the colouring was missing the video was very entertaining for me.

It is really nice and not to forget inspiring to see doing his magic
Looking forward to another video with some colouring in it

Nice work. Keep it up!

What happens between 3:20 and 3:26? Did a wizard cast a spell on your flat colors?
