Great tutorial -- the only thing I'd caution against is the copy-pasting in the brick part.

If there's one thing that detracts from a drawing it's the repetition of fine details like cracks, pockmarks, and so on. It's one of those details I notice right away and just totally pulls me out of the picture, which from then on screams, "I'm a digital artwork whose artist didn't want to invest an extra hour in making stars/leaves/bricks!"

If you want your work to appear immersive, you have to make that extra effort to create a world beyond a single brush or tile.

verticalfish In reply to KanePaws [2014-08-20 20:32:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. If you put enough work into the initial piece you can avoid the copy-paste repetition. But I'm a medical resident, who works 14+ hours a day, so it's either spend an hour on drawing bricks or spend an hour on something more productive. A lot of my tutorials are about how to triage tasks and time manage to be able to release comics on a regular basis when you have a packed schedule. If you have more time to spend on a particular part, you can always do that~!

I have been haha, I think some of them will come in useful for hand drawing too, although others such as the chains and lightning are more digitally based.
