Sketch for Inking

Second Post of the day!

After posting earlier I decided to do another sketch to use for inking practice and got a little carried away, the pencils ended up being a little tighter than I'd planned!
I thought I'd post it anyway, in the pencils stage, this is Eddie one of the characters in the story I'm working on, or at least an image of what he might look like. I used a photo of my own face as reference so the final character will most likely end up being a little thinner than I am.

Again, I'm off to do some more practising whilst I have some time spare, days off are great fun but never last as long as the ones when at work....

Young Bigby

Happy New Year!

I've been playing about in Manga Studio today, trying to get use to the layout and the feel of it, had this pencil sketch of a young Bigby from Vertigo's Fables lying about so thought I'd put it to some good use.

The final image is digital ink over the original sketch, I liked the way it looked so left the rough pencil underneath to add some texture, after that it's taken into Photoshop to have some greys added too.
I really want a Cintiq of some sort, drawing on a graphics tablet is just to disconnected. I know you do get use to it the more you use one, but being able to draw straight onto the screen would be a wonder! Anyhow, for now practice is needed...

Catch you all soon!
