That Tingling Sensation…

My Spidey Sense is Tingling!

I started work on this last night after I finished the elephant. I just thought I’d do a quick spider man sketch and paint it using photoshop instead of illustrator, I’d been reading that it’s far better and I kinda thought it would be.

I tried not to spend too long on it, just wanted to get a feel for the differences. From now on I’ll only be doing my initial sketches in Illustrator and I’ll be moving the colouring to PS. Backgrounds, gradients, colour choosing, effects and hotkeys I’m more used to and it just felt far easier…messing with vector based lines while painting is stupid.

I really like the way this turned out. I was able to learn quite a bit using PS, and I think the background really helps this one pop.

I’m all pumped now…onto the next drawing.

1.5 Hour Spider-Man attempt

Wow…

Well I sat down tonight and forced myself to finish a drawing. I forced myself to keep going with it, even though from the get go I could tell certain parts weren’t going to come out right at all.

I was right, I’m not a huge fan of this, but I finished it and I learned more about using the wacom and I think I am getting better. I went for a more cartoony feel, mainly because it was easier.

I abosutely shortcutted on the suit webs and the color job was a quick 2 colour job to finish it…kinda.

I might try to fix this up another day, but for now, c’est fini!

More this weekend, I’m having fun feeling like I have to finish pieces to put them up here, so hopefully I’ll get better as a result.

Cheers!
