I am trying to get ready for a toy character mock up I am doing for a local performance artist so I need to draw cute girls in action- I decided to warm up with some photoshop tools and created this as a test for me- its created all in photoshop- I sketched the image with small hard brushes at 100% opacity and about 8-15 flow(adjusting level to lighten up drawing)... I then modified brushes to larger brushes with brush shape modified thickness at 65%- and used pen tool (( note when using pen tool or illustrator brush tools-remember to hide ends of lines if possible)) to draw out outlines of the border shapes and use stroke path- this gave me a clean inked line look (on new layer on top)- created some layers underneath- at layer below laid out flat colors and did a shadow layer above flat colors (multiply layer)- all along use flat color(layer) areas as selection so I color in the lines- I finally add another layer between line and multiply layer for highlights and final rendering pushes- as a render I use smudge brushes larger at low strength for larger smoothing areas and small brush at 85% for hair renders....I keep background layer clear for a gradient selection two hue image- I use levels adjustment to get a less saturated mood..... and that's it- still have a lot to learn... every image I just wish to keep getting better...
any critiques....?
