Steem Cartoon : Wacom Painting Series #5

This is actually my sixth time trying to use a wacom tablet. I found a tool that can help you take control of your lines. The tool name is Lazy Nezumi Pro! But, for latest adobe photoshop, you don't need this because photoshop implies internally.

What do you think guys? I know my stroke is a bit rough. It's me ... kind of fast to get the thing done... haha. Nak siap cepat.

The process

First, I draw the outline and detail up step by step. I use a pencil kind of brush. My drawing is about 1200 pixels width and I'm using 7 pixels width brush for the pencil.

Second, step, I darken it more and detail it up. I try to go BLACK. I need that contrast. Now... with the help of Lazy Nezumi my line look better. Look at the curve line of the hair... compare to my last drawing... this one better.

After the pencil drawing done, then I put some tone. This really not my expertise. I admit it. So difficult to understand human face bump. The wrong move makes the face look flat or too bulky (ugly face). Those who expert can really shape up the face. ( I mean sculpture up the face )

Then I make a lighting effect. I did it using the technique that I learn from Hive account@stahlberg. He is a great artist. Salute him! The technique is like this... Make a black flat color on top, then cut the area where you think the light hit the subject. Then apply opacity to control the amount.

Finally... I color the skin using the technique that I learn from Hive account@ellyn-suraya. Now, this is the first time I use Overlay effect blending mode. It's really a great technique! Thanks, Ellyn. You are the most talented young artist that I know.
