Just wanted to share a little insight into what my picture went through from the start. Below are the technical details:
- Photoshop CS3
- Wacom Intuos 3 tablet (6x8)
- Original size and rez was at 2049 x 2774, 200 pixels/inch
- Primarily painted with a customized Charcoal Brush
- References were used
- Didn't keep track of time I'm afraid. Worked on this for many random days in a week between other drawings
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them
Thanks for looking.
what was the brush you used for the first sketch?
You asked what brush I used for the first sketch for my Dark Knight tribute. Well, it's nothing really fancy, it's Photoshop's default hard round (toggled between white and black). The poor jpeg conversion I think was what made it look soft, though.
I will try using overlay layers next time I paint.
Just a question: why do you use a noise filter?
It's just a little habit I like to get into when finalizing a finished piece. I like to think of it as a quiet way of eliminating the flawless digital feel of a picture that was done digitally. Even a perfect blank sheet of paper is not without some flaws if you look hard enough.
I'd gladly pay for videos like that. Great work.
