Description Adobe Illustrator CS
This is my first pin-up work.
using gradient color and mono color
1. scan ref-photo
2.be stronger contrast and upper brightness from original photo (phootoshop)
3.trace all parts by vector line (Illustrator)
4.put on color by my idea (Illustrator)
next step use more gradient color and make more object
then some day try to use feather tool and transparency tool

I kind think u've been asked this so many times but could you do a "speed painting" of one of ur works? I'm very much interesting in your work. Thanks either way. And I'm glad to find someone like you who does "the same but different"

I don't have "Speed painting". I use the program only "Adobe Illustrator cs2"

GraphicDream In reply to OM-SHADOW [2010-03-04 00:28:41 +0000 UTC]

Very easy on Adobe Illustrator. You can erase the line by tool window.

Artistic-dribbles In reply to GraphicDream [2009-07-20 08:20:07 +0000 UTC]

yes. I dont understand how to make the curves. I click and it makes a curve one way. when i click again it goes the other way. so confusing! i think im totally missing something....

cant wait to see more works!

GraphicDream In reply to Artistic-dribbles [2009-07-21 03:30:03 +0000 UTC]

When you make some curve line you can click with drag to some way on the first point and on the next point you click with drag to some way...you can make free curve line

Really nice tutorial but the thing with brightness and contrast would be easier to understand with a picture to see the change.
