I don’t color in the lines
Ninja March 31st, 2009
With my Powerbook in the shop, it’s difficult to get my Photoshop work done. Penguin kindly let me hop onto his PC in the meantime. My fingers felt a tad off when it came to the keyboard shortcuts, but with a quad-processor and 4 gigs of ram, it’s hard to complain.
Here’s the scan. The paper was too big for the scanner, so I had to piece it together. It has a very obvious seam, but no worries, all will be well in Photoshop.
I cloned out stray bits of dust, adjusted the levels and curves, and painted in some of the gaps with the paintbrush tool.
Afterwards, I painted several ugly, color layers. This is an example of one of my color layers with the normal blending mode selected.
To add more color and depth to my original painting, I simply changed the layer blending modes of the messy, color layers (mentioned above). I’ve still many more layers to go, but you get the idea.
Happy drawing,
Ninja
