Thanks man. Sadly, I can’t seem to find marker paper for a good price here in Vancouver, and used up all the ones I bought from Korea. So this is just done on standard marker paper which really bleeds like hell… Anyways, I’m on msn quite often, so add me when you get yours.
I just started using a tablet and I have got to say - it feels great. This is my first sketch using my wacom. It turned out better than I had hoped so I’m pretty happy. Thanks for the comments!
Damnit Andrew, your “my first tablet sketch” is supposed to be a blurry, confusing mashup of lines and colors!
You’re clearly doing something wrong.
Great stuff - just watch your wheels. Check out Scott Robertsons car DVD - he has a great technique to understand how to draw 5 spoke wheels consistently. The shading on the wheels is fine, but the actual lines and angles of the spokes are all over the place. Fill in some elippses for your hub and rim, and then connect those with your spokes.
The nice thing is about doing this digitally, is you could go back in and redo the wheels and have a killer sketch.
paper sketching is necessary, I always do quick napkin style paper sketching, more developed paper sketching, digital sketching, then digital rendering
I think someone like yourself would greatly benefit from a Wacom, and I don’t say that to most
Thanks for the comments. I’m quite busy right now with a bunch of different projects but I was able to squeeze in one sketch. Hopefully the wheels are better this time Cyberdemon. ^^
wrukawaw, it’s cool man. I used photoshop for that render, like I did with my projects. But for things like the Espresso/Soma/Lavender, I used a mouse, while these sketches are done with a pen tablet (Intuos 4 btw, pej05).
however, you will not recieve any prize if you are not US citizen, and 18 years old or up. I think you can still give it a try though, just to see how professional rate your ideas.
I was actually contacted by LG to enter but they soon realized that I was underage and also not a US resident. I made the Espresso for a competition going on in Korea so I guess I’ll hope for the best with that. Thanks for the info though!
Nice, that sounds like you may have had a guaranteed win for the people throwing the contest to specifically request you to enter. Take that as a good sign and be proud of it even though you can’t enter. If you keep it up and don’t get too “satisfied”, I see lots of good things in your future.
Oh really?! Which issue was it? They promised to send me a copy but never did (like all magazines). I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to send one measly magazine to me.
