ты меня прям в тупик ставишь) скетчи я обычно рисую мягкими кистями, примерно по 6-8 пикселей, мягкость на 60 процентах примерно так. иногда больше.

I love seeing stuff like this, it's great seeing how the image takes shape. Your shading is so full and contrast-y.

Smilika In reply to AlanaKai [2010-09-27 10:59:32 +0000 UTC]

)))) i am glad that you liked this ^^
Contrast helps to understand where lights and shadings should be even if you really don't know those right place on picture)))

Do you scan in the sketch, and then paint in different layers, or does all the coloring occur in a single layer? I have not tried using Photoshop to draw/paint with. My Wacom came with Corel Painter Essentials. It's fun... but I feel like all I'm capable of drawing are stick figures! Your works are just soooo beautiful. Thank you for posting this process. It's helpful, because I'm still learning... and re-learning!

Smilika In reply to Niksche [2010-09-25 10:42:17 +0000 UTC]

no i don't like work on one layer))) hehe here i used 67 layers)) XD usually i use 20-30 layers in different opacity)
it helps to fix mistakes of to change colors what you don't like)
create folders with titles "base

Ahaha. I don't really count. Depends on the work. I HAD A LOT in the past. But I've been challenging myself to work in fewer layers nowadays. XD

Smilika In reply to ximena07 [2010-09-26 12:46:54 +0000 UTC]

))) hehe)))you are better then me, cuz i still can't do all right)))when i was child my teachers in school always said me that i am may be talented, but all what i do i do wrong, not just others do it))) XD i like to be not like normal people, i guess))
the same with this layers)) ^^ prof. artist do all work on one or may be 2-3 layers, but i am not master, so i can make 100 of layers XD poor my photoshop

ximena07 In reply to Smilika [2010-09-27 00:18:39 +0000 UTC]

It's amazing that your PS doesn't spaz out with that many layers. XD I only recently started to paint on one layer. Though with my other art, the lineart is on a different layer.

Smilika In reply to ximena07 [2010-09-27 11:08:37 +0000 UTC]

well, sometimes PS really wants to do it )) ^^ i hate when it write me something like that " Sorry, but you have no more free place on your hard drive"...arrrrrr...Is my files too much big? >< ohhh, come on, it is not fair)))) in this moments i really want to destroy everything what i see)

ximena07 In reply to Smilika [2010-09-27 11:51:36 +0000 UTC]

I've made sure that doesn't happen to me anymore since my school files tend to be the one which are more demanding. And losing those files would be crippling. (Especially sometimes I need to work on multiple programs. Imagine Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign open simultaneously. XD Then video-editting is much more demanding with After-Effects, Premiere, even Photoshop and Encore open. @___@ Ohdearlord.)

Though SAI tends to spaz on me sometimes. It doesn't handle really large files as well as photoshop does.

Galagraphia In reply to Smilika [2010-09-25 10:22:21 +0000 UTC]

Мне нравится как ты делаешь такую текстуру, как будто мазок рельефный. Прикольно!
Стандартные кисти это как раз идеально, ты можешь вывесить их настройки, а мы все поучимся с ними работать. А то я вон, например, ковыряла фотошоп лет пять, пока не обнаружила, что у кистей есть настройки!!!
