Description This is my half of an art-trade with * liquidxlead .. I hope he likes it! :gulp:
This is just a heavily processed pencil-drawing, but I'm realy pleased with the way it came out.. I was just experimenting, trying to imitate liquidxlead's style, believe it or not..
The character is Anko from 'Naruto' I'd neither heard of the character OR the anime, so it was a learning experience..

It sort of looks like something I might have come up with in Fine Arts back in the day..

Ah, Anko...One of my favorite Naruto girls. You definitely captured her perfectly, Drew. BTW, saw liquidxlead's part of your rat trade. All I can say that both yours and his rocks. Keep it up.

Wow! I absolutely love the coloring in this! How did you get that gritty look??? Seriously, how did you do that? I'd love to be able to get that kind of look with some of pictures. Anyway, fantastic job with this! It's definitely an instant fav for me.

Ok, well its sort of convoluted, but here goes;
I made several duplicate layers of the lineart, and each one I upped the contrast to 100, making it look very grainy..
and starting at the bottom, I turned the brightness down, so that the speckly grit filled almost the whole screen, and on the layers above, I'd set the brightness higher and higher, so thered be less grit the higher you go.
Then I went through and using the Lighten seting on the pencil tool, made the lineart pale yellow at the bottom, darker orange on the layer above, and worked up to the top layer which I made a muddy red colour.
Then I set each layer to multiply, and set the opacity to %50.
finaly, I made a new layer underneath all of that, and filled it in with a grey midtone.. it was on this layer that I shaded in all the highlights with a %25 opacity brush, before flattening the whole thing, and upping the contrast.

Phew! Like I said, it was an experiment, so just random messing around with layers and contrast..
I hope that made some sort of sense to you!
And thanx for the fave!

...I love the grunge dark style...and the red....and basically all of this picture. I can tell this is pencil drawing but way you processed and colored this ties the whole image together....It's look like rust and adds to the dark feel...

....you fucking rock!!!!
