Inking Season Phase 2: week 2

 Phase 2 of Inking Season, week 2, using Yoji Shinkawa (Metal Gear Solid artist) as inspiration.

This week was a fun.  The process started at the bottom with a quick sketch done with a synthetic brush.  Then I did a value sketch, which is the basis for the tight pencils, then Clean Ink, and then the Final Image.

One more to go before the holidays.. See ya next week!

Inking Season Phase 2: Week 1

 Phase 2 of Inking Season, where I have been looking to Yoji Shinkawa (Metal Gear Solid artist) as inspiration.  I've been trying to break-down of his style, to see if I can learn something.  

So, what have I seen of his style: 1) his style is rather loose and structurally sound.  2) there is usually a dark background shape, that helps to define the form of the character.  3) there seem to be layers of ink wash built up with selective dark areas. 4) A use of white-out that looks like texturing.  

So, I've been trying to absorb some of these aspects into my studies, while using my character, Lore of the SilverHand as the subject.  Super fun!

See ya next week.

Inking Season Week 3: Sketches

 Inking Season process: I start with the bottom gesture sketches, where I select one, enlarge it and make it transparent. Then I draw on top building it up to something I can ink.  Then with the printout I start the inks.  I've been using synthetic brushes for the last few, as practice for natural brushes.

Happy Halloween

Inking Season Week 2: Sketches

 Inking Season: The Process: starts with gesture sketches, then I blowup the tiny sketch and develop it further.  With a more developed sketch, I then go to inks for the final.

Later!

 So, that was the Willis Henry Comic Sample End..

that was a lot of work but love seeing the final results and I have fun making the comic.  I want to get Willis Henry Comic Chapter 03 into a pdf once the 97 pages are done and put it on my website.
