Description "Normally having a target would make me feel good but now it means nothing"

Who didn't get chills when Dexter screamed in the season 5 trailer? This is one of my first attempts at colouring on photoshop (i am at this stage sadly lacking in photoshop skillz, mostly i just use it for clean up). I did however want to try to give it a really pale colouring, kind of blank. This is also my first drawing of Dexter.

The moment in the clip is an exeptional peice of acting on MCH's part but it's a vicious, angry, desperate, furious, destroyed kind of moment and i think its hard to capture all that without sound and movement and verve. I also don't really like the pose %100 because you can't see his face at all and i would have liked to have had a go at that expression. I'm not happy with a bunch of this pic but as a first go at a few things it's not too bad.

Hey, it fits perfectly. And that extra hint of color works well.

Plenty of coloring tuts on Photoshop for future reference.

thank you and yeah i know i think my biggest problem is lack of photoshop (i have it uni and at home now but only for the next month cause its a trial version) and lack of practise time. i have a drawing tablet i've essentially never used. I just need some time to practise.

Seraph5 In reply to simplyrain [2010-07-27 05:45:35 +0000 UTC]

thanks dude yeah his back was much lighter, i actually drew it in pencil (as you can see in the black and white version) then used 'colour levels' or something to chose the base colour of his arms and skin and hair and the wall and everything and then i used burn and dodge to amp up and tone down the colours, i also did a lot of editing during the process and used several different layers one of which was lighting. I smudged a bit here and there too.
