First 2d for months, I did a 25 minute speedpaint of my girlfriend, she thinks she looks like a "fat 7 year old." Goes to show that I should paint more often.
pior awesome chrome
let's keep the pencils grinding (and wacom pens!)
Drew up this concept last night for the CGChat jetpack comp, managed to color him today while the boss wasn't lookin'.
so i took the girl previously posted and cleaned her up in photoshop, i fixed her mouth, jawline, moved her head to match angle of neck and moved her head down b/c she looked like a giraffe before.
since i couldn 't find a decent solution elsewhere .i put together this simple tool to explore symmetry drawing in real time .it is very raw .and that is in many ways the point .there 's some theory behind it ( how the mind reacts to drawing in symmetry ) that i can 't quite put with any clarity .but anyway .it 's a fun little tool .handy for blocking out silhouette 's and such .by all means .give it a try
Nah, he actually updated a new version on the previous page, with clean canvas set to delete! How cool is that!
One tip for you guys : You can press + and - like mad in the midlle of a brush stroke to get nice lineweight variation effects!
I don't know why sometimes the color sitches to dark gray instead of black - but I like it this way, it gives some extra cool unexpected results. The no-undo restriction is also very nice.
stoked you guys are enjoying the tool. you especially pior. seems you've really embraced it
i'll make some further refinements to the Symmskribbl when i get home after the weekend. i might need to explore building it in director to pull off some of the things i'm thinking. but i'll keep it in processing for a bit longer. it's a nice language to work in. from a non_programmers perspective

Not sure if you're up for crits or not. It's a nice Bjork.
I think you could clean up the way you approach painting at the moment. The way you've done it is not entirely wrong (blocking then shading and detailing) but I think you have dwelled on the detailing too much and it looks rather muddy. The best way is to start with a huge brush and work your way down, often I use the keys on my wacom to control the brush size and use the pressure on the stylus to control opacity. People have different ways of approaching it. Having one hand on the keyboard's [ ] keys or using the stylus' buttons.
So basically; fill and block with a large brush then work your way down in size until you are drawing eyelash hairs etc. At the moment your image looks like 90% of it is done with the same size brush.
Also when it comes to outlines, it's better not use an eraser in such a hard way like you have done on the nose, or if you do, give the edge a once over with a small brush very softly to blend the line very slightly.
Thanks Hawken, I love a good crit, this was helpful. Here's one of Tan that I did which is even more muddy than the bjork one I did it before reading your post. I might do the next ones starting with linework to nail down proportions first because moving features around has made things harder. I also want to figure out if it's best to get overall contrast right first but then have to shade between extreme darks and lights or to add shading gradually with low opacity. I had to cut it short at 40 minutes.
another one this time of anja garbarek. I should mention that these are from photographs. This one was easier because I did some linework before hand and the reference image was quite small so I got less caught up features at an early stage. I think.
nealb4me: dang.. let me know what your plans are dude.

That's awesome Vahl... wish I could of went. Gonna try this later myself, although you got the secrets.. create a tut.
However that app is clearly awesome! LOVE it.
Any reason for your "typing style", btw? Or is it just an attempt to stand out from the crowd?

It's really just a glorified doodle. I liked the outcome of it enough to keep it though.
I got so excited while doing this I spilt tea all over my keyboard and desk
If Symmskribbl was a girl, it would have big boobs.
