Wow. Really neat. Care to discuss any part of your technique? Is this painted on cel, or digital? It’s so nice and clean.
Hi Trulyfunky! Thanks a lot. I did a drawing on paper, inked it with a brush pen, scanned it, cleaned it up a little bit to remove the blue pencil and painted it with photoshop. I also colored the lines to make it look more transparent and light. This painting is actually the first digital painting I ever did that looks like real paint. I wanted to paint it like I would with acrylics. I am still experimenting with photoshop. I usually use one or two tutorials and try to make it work. I also like to make sure every form is clear so that we understand what they are. :) Does that help?
