Description Happy Halloween!
Illustration for an upcoming book from SQP and rather appropriate for Halloween.
Took much longer than I anticipated - obviously I wasn't drinking enough magic caffeine )

Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop.

That's really gorgeous!! Why do some digital artists draw on paper yet?

Cheers man! I love the feel of holding a pencil and drawing on paper - digital just doesn't feel the same - I also spend so long painting on the computer that its just nice to take a break from looking at a screen as well.

Fantastic job. I love the slightly lustrous quality that you give the skin on your pinups. It always makes it look touchably perfect.

Loopydave In reply to Popsaart [2010-10-29 13:02:47 +0000 UTC]

Thanks my friend! I think the dress was the most fun to paint, though the furniture would have to be a close second.

The work on the dress is amazing, you can really feel the sheerness of the silk. Lovely stuff.

Cheers mate! I painted some silk on another job some time back and it was so much fun, I really happy to try something like that again.

Round about the cauldron sing,

Nice. When you color this in PS do you use a higher resolution?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Loopydave In reply to CigsAce [2010-10-29 12:38:30 +0000 UTC]

5500 pixels by around 4400, so yes, at a much higher rez See [link] for details if you like.

CigsAce In reply to Loopydave [2010-10-29 18:37:44 +0000 UTC]

That's F'n awesome...how long does it take you to color something like this after the drawing/scanning/line work is finished ? I'm nowhere this good and I take forever to do coloring (mostly because I'm new to the tablet drawing and only 90% proficient in PS).
