...CarlosArtWrx's Sketchy Blog... O_o

[CarlosArtWrx]

Just wanted to re-post these here, they aren't really 'finished' products per say, so I didn't want to throw 'em up in the illustration section. Besides I needed to start a SB anyway...


Here's the drawing I did for the DBZ draw off, that I'm most definitely NOT going to win, but hey, it's my first try!

And my Aladdin Assassin's Creed Draw for the whimsical tales, which I thought I had a good shot at until I saw the other posts.

I went through my old art work and dug up a 9 year old comic I did. I'm going to use it for the 'I can do better!' draw off. Sadly, the panel I ended up using only has two of these characters, but I went ahead and re-designed the rest for fun.

Here are the two that will be in the new page.

Here's the bad guy...Razor... ok, I was 12.

Here are the characters that will not be in the panel I chose to re-do, but I thought they were still fun.

I'm not sure about the colors, it's been awhile, so I'm not sure want to funk it up with my coloring.

That last picture shows sooooo much improvement in your drawing ability.

But the last panel of the last comic page is a bit confusing.

[CarlosArtWrx]

Thanks TEW!

Here are all of the versions of the drawing I did for the 'Big Bad Hulk' D.O.

I think the filter I put on it made it look more sketchy than I realized, oh well...

What I've been up to. Blergh, trying new techniques and styles. My wife does the coloring on the first few pages, but I take up the reigns after the first couple of pages...

Slowly gonna re-integrate myself into PJ, miss it and am ready to come back...

I like the characters a lot. You're right about the coloring, though it's not so much the colors that are the issue. They're a little saturated, but mostly it's the soft edge brush that isn't working. Trying changing up the brush to get some interesting strokes. Also, you probably want to check the spelling on "lair" because it says "layer" right now.

[CarlosArtWrx]

Som'more, the last page, my brush tip got all jacked up, so I tried to use a pen/brush combo... Eh didn't fare so well.

BTW I do the pencils/inks/borders/colors/letters (and some writing) in case you were confused

Thanks. This is a fairly old piece. I'm probably not any better @ coloring, but it's not really my focus (yet). Thanks for the crit. One of these days I'll figure out the whole digital coloring ish.

Here's more. Lemme know if I'm boring you, or anything :P, the weather. you know
