Stepping Beyond That Comfort Zone

Hello everyone...

I mark last summer as the time that I really got serious about doing digital art (being solidly rooted in traditional media). This was largely in part thanks to the inspiration I gleaned from all the fan art of MLP: Fim and Equestria Girls. Almost befittingly, this summer marks my first real use of a Wacom Tablet.

For a while, I've been rather hesitant to using it for digital inking due to the uneven look I often get when I attempt to draw smooth lines (I prefer to use the Pen and Stroke Fill tools). Apparently, this is linked to the RAM available (I seem to get smoother lines on my MacBook than on my PC). And, it's most likely a matter of me just getting accustomed to drawing with a stylus instead of a mechanical pencil.

On that note, I continue to experiment with other methods of coloring and digital painting - more than anything, to achieve a softer look than the old fashioned cel-shaded look of much of my colored work.


A few have inquired about commissions - yes folks, commissions remain open! The link to my guidelines are at the bottom of this entry.


Hope everyone in the Northern Hemisphere is beating the heat!

More as The Wheel turns.

Best,

Edgard
