Hey, are you okay ?You look pretty low... very handsome awkward.
Do you feel okay ?
You look pretty low... very handsome awkward.
-----------------------------
I was originally going to post this into scraps, but I figured meh, why not ? and dumped it here for strangers to see whilst being directed to my profile by a couple of you's amazing friends whoring me around right now (thank you)
anyways yeah, before you throw staplers, scanners, or pickle jars at my head please note that this was an experiment of mine.
I wanted to see if I could paint a detailed portrait on photoshop with my tablet using 100% opacity and flat colors. The thing about tablets is they're very pressure sensitive, so presumably you could shade things in like you would with ballpoint. This was my attempt. A LOT HARDER THAN BALLPOINT, but still the same effect.

7px brush
100% opacity
BLACK
WHITE
HOTPINK
a lot of pressing lightly/hard

Bert McCracken/The Used is copyright himse... nah, fuck that... ME !

Jerridiot In reply to my-canga [2007-11-10 01:09:18 +0000 UTC]
the only reason it looks like that was because I was painting entirely with pressure sensitivity, so the scratchy skin tones is just me trying REALLY hard not to paint his face black xP

my-canga In reply to Jerridiot [2007-11-10 03:16:24 +0000 UTC]
right.
naah I don't believe you. You just have an inner need to be sketchy. Don't deny it.

his wrist tattoo is fancy shmancy.
I realised after I finished that the way I drew it makes it look like a weird hidden way of spelling "fuck" xP

I LOVE ballpoint pens, they're kind of hard to control the shading at first, but once you get going, it looks amazing.
and yes, Bert McCrackhead is serious love.

haha, it's a magical look. I used to look like that when I had REALLY long hair. It's neat for a moment, then you feel gross and have to change drastically, haha.
thanks though ^-^

chibishi [2007-11-09 18:07:24 +0000 UTC]
But one of the nice things about ballpoint pens is that they're not 100% opaque. But yes, tablets take forever to learn how to use decently.

Jerridiot In reply to chibishi [2007-11-10 00:50:03 +0000 UTC]
I love my tablet to death, but I usually just change the opacity and make things pretty that way. I've never attempted to paint with pressure sensitivity before, it was spooky.

using a tablet is certainly an art in and of itself.
