Hi! Sarah, thanks again for the crits. ;)

You are right am using lot of soft brush to my color that looks like eye candy style. I used soft brush to blend colors. I see your point about hard edge brush stroke that you usually used from your digital painting and that's your style. I like soft brush it helped me easily to blend multiple colors.

Here's my brush that I used to all of my digital painting.

http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/6434/usingmybrushug3.jpg

The digital painting using mouse, you are right i used lasso tool to guide my brush stroke. Am an newbie with digital painting and still doing some experiment on how to achieve the same style with tablet. Now that i have tablet, I never used lasso tool to guide my brush stroke.

Thanks again for the crits and advice.

I dunno Sarah, Bluepen has done some really cool stuff. Hes old post has been eliminated, so hes just throwing stuff up now. Hes pretty good at comics, and his new digi paintings are getting better

[mbridges2006]

Bluepen, I think your stuff is great. Everything in the picture can be seen and is seperated, doesn't look muddy at all to me. Love it

[mudcat]

I've been watchin Blue for a long time. He's good, but Sarah does have a point about the highlights. A lot of his stuff is missing some brighter highlights that would help pop things just a little bit more. For the most part it tends to look like shadows and midtones. Some brighter highlights would add a whole new contrast to the colors.

You do do a good job with blending yer tones though Blue. Yer tones are usually nice and diffused where it starts merging into the shadows areas.

i love that page XD
i was waiting for you to finish it for in your previous posts it was my fave.
the thing that sticks out to me the most was something that was apparent even in your WIP. one thing, that if done consistantly would really upset your editors.
in half the panels the colors of the guy are very inconsistant. in panel one, his cape is much more orange than in the other panels. in panel 2, his skin is much more orange and saturated than in panel 3, in panel 2 the face mask is very blue compared to panel 3. in those two panels the most stuff is different, it's everything! his hair in panel 2 is ash blond, but in panel 3 it's very yellow, and his glove in that same panel is lavender while it's blue in panel 2.

the best way to avoid making those mistakes, is dont paint one panel at a time when they all contain the same character, the best way is to finish one thing (like his skin) in every panel before moving on to the next element. :yawn:


the whole thing screams for some more contrast due to how bright that sky is, and also, the green you used for the grass really isn't working.

lupit man!!! :bounce:

[mudcat]

Good lookin page Blue.

:kewl:

[bluepen]

Thanks Sarrah for the crits! That's my style of coloring. In a real camera view you'll never see the same light/FX/Shading of colors in one perspective. The page has different panel, views, angle and light. Environment has an effect to my subject, though am still in progress of mastering on how the environment will affect your subject. In my coloring I always view my piece in 3D. You'll notice some of my work has 3d look a like.

Some colorist used, contrast, flat, tone, grayish and etc. In my color am combining contrast and mid tone colors. You already said it exactly from your first reply.

With this book my client like my colors he said "It looked amazing. It is gorgeous." so am on the right path to continue the coloring style am using.


King/Mudcat thanks bro! ;)

[SarahRuffinoNei]

it's alright, you can keep making excuses for yourself...not my problem. if you insist on just defending yourself against everything i always say i'm afraid i'm going to just have to quit wasting my time critiquing your stuff... maybe you need to hear it from the big editors to believe it. who knows. :blink: :mad:

Aw! That's not excuses nor defending myself. What's wrong about telling the way I color? Am still learning and exploring the things i can do and share for what I've learned as colorist to others. Sorry if you think like that, I'd never insist all your crits. I just say only thanks for the crits you given me. I don't want to argue but your the one who defends yourself for what you have said to your crits. That's why you deleted it so that no one can read your crits anymore.

Anyway, thank you for wasting your time to crits my stuffs. Happy Holiday! Wishing you all the best in life... Peace.... ;)

Wow thats some angry posting there sarah. As a side observer of the two of you on the last crit he did just explain himself as to what he was doing. And in fairness to pen, that is a beautiful page. I understand where you are coming from with the sameness in color throughout, but he does have a point. The way the light hits and shows in some panels is one thing. But if there is a change of mood, or a flicker of light change the colors CAN (not always) change considerablly. Just my POV. You both have some nice stuff going on. Love bother your works. And I am sure pen appreciates your critiques. Peace ya'll

I can see what sarah was saying about -> "the best way to avoid making those mistakes, is dont paint one panel at a time when they all contain the same character, the best way is to finish one thing (like his skin) in every panel before moving on to the next element.
Heck what do I know I'm just a writer inker and sometimes penciler. Ha ha hummm....time I start to learn how to use my photoshop 7 I've had laying around here. :cool:

This is really cool stuff.

OOO very nice colors here. Chasen has been using a mouse to color in all the years he's been coloring and he's taught me to use a mouse for coloring, and yeah...not sure if I'd prefer that or a tablet, lol.

[bluepen]

Warm up before continuing my coloring job.

A Fan art collaboration with Ariel Padilla cool drawing hah!

I do speed paint with this one, took 35 minutes (still slow) not sure if that's consider as speed paint done with wacom tablet. toink!

This is my last book and first time to do gray scale for Pariah.

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/2207/cantresistthecolorpp5.jpg

I have no idea how to do gray scale in comic but I know a bit color toning for manga. For this book I wanted pariah pages to be look good though am not familiar using gray scale.

Since this is my first grayscale work, i applied the same procedure I used with my coloring but with gray palette (no colors). I used Painted style for this book.

While looking at my work, I CANT RESIST to see my work in color ahehehe of course am a COLORist.

I played with the 2nd panel. When i finished grayscale, I selected the 2nd panel to color using selection from flat color layer. Then I adjusted the hue/saturation to change my grayscale in color.

Ahehehe see the outcome, from grayscale to color.

I think this method is faster than coloring the whole page.

First apply grayscale to your page then select the part you want to change for color and then use hue/saturation tools for adjustment.

Viola!!! Instant color! I'll practice this method for my new tricks... bah Toink! toink!

Sorry my English is terrible!

EON Illustration Entry - done with wacom tablet

http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/1425/eonillustrationchallengug6.jpg

The 21st century was on the brink of nuclear confrontation when the 300 kilometer-long stone flashed out of nothingness and into Earth's orbit. NASA, NATO, and the UN sent explorers to the asteroid’s surface… and discovered marvels and mysteries to drive researchers mad.

For the Stone from space but perhaps not our space; it came from the future - but perhaps not our future; and within the hollowed asteroid was Thistledown. The remains of a vanished civilization. A human - English, Russian and Chinese- speaking - civilization. Seven vast chambers containing forests, lakes, rivers, hanging cities…

And museums describing the Death; the catastrophic war that was about to occur; the horror and the long winter that would follow. But while scientists and politicians bickered about how to use the information to stop the death, the stone yielded a secret that made even Earth’s survival pale into insignificance…

Originally published in 1985, EON stands as one of the great science fiction novels of our time and remains one of Greg's Bear's best selling titles. It is truly vast in scope. Entrants are allowed to create their work based on any part of EON, however we have selected a set of scenes, locations and events as preferred themes - this will aid people not familiar with EON.

[KIERAN OATS]

that Eon piece looks cool, I have a question however, and I am only asking out of pure curiosity
Are the characters painter overs? because one of them is obviously Leo,
I say painter overs because the perfect rendering on those characters is completely different from what appears in your comic work,
I'm interested in the steps you took to achieve this piece, could you show a step by step sometime?

:kewl:

1st: I do pencil sketches for my Illutration.
2nd: I gather some model/background Reference.
3rd: I draw my characters based from my Model reference.
4th: I do my digital painting over my pencil/inked drawing. buy adjusting the opacity t0 20%.

Wow, the girl looks great, can't wait to see it done. :)

[bluepen]

I just want to share you guys, my newbie colors. That time am not
a colorist, just a simple hobbiest. To tell you frankly am ignorant using
panels and letterings. I've created this comic pages planning to see
my work in print, but due to high cost printing. This project stays in
my HD. Until i learned how to color the real comic pages, a self study
for almost 6 months before getting offered a job in comic as colorist.

After doing some professional job, whenever i see this page. I lol
myself how newbie I was, I don't know how to use the proper lettering,
the use of panels. ahehehe. What do you expect to a person without
the knowledge of doing comics? I learned a lot for the past 3 years
i worked in comic business.

Really funy comics for me... So here it is, enjoy...

on what people think in my work that time.

Oh! sorry if this is not a painting style, just like I said, I want to share it.

The pages is the moment when am not that skilled in coloring specially digital panting.

Another way to do this is to pull all of your color selections using the eyedropper from your main panel - do this panel first, then use it's colors to select from as you complete the page.

[bluepen]

Hi! JMAN,

thanks for the advice. I've seen your gallery with lots of amazing line art! If i got free time I'll grab one of your line art and try to put color on it. For now, am too busy with the project I have, that's why I have no new post.

Thank again.....

THE BURNING MAN

Written by Tad Williams
Line art by Brett Booth
colors by me

Note:

My colored version I have no idea who's the official colorist. Since I never got paid for this job from the studio I worked before, I'll use it for my folio instead.

[bluepen]

hehehe... I found more old newbie stuffs done year 2003 with a mouse.

Tools used: smudge, Dodge / burn and pen tool for my cuts. Please look the sig for credits.

Looks like you got the right idea, just need to push it a little further. Doesn't look bad, but it kind of looks unfinished.

[bluepen]

Thanks Chromo48 for dropping by. You're right it's not done yet. 'trying to apply detailed colors later coz am still browsing to find photo stocks to ged rid of my color palette.

[enchance]

I can't believe this post is still alive. Anyway, hi bluepen. I'm coloring again. Ano project natin ngayon?

For the sake of this post, I use a mouse to color. I design using a tablet but when coloring I switch to my mouse. Here you can check out my deviant for some proof. More stuff to come, promise!www.enchance.deviantart.com (http://www.enchance.deviantart.com)

[bluepen]

Yah, but this thread is new. The old thread with the same title already been deleted because of the new rules.

Anyway, nice to hear you again. Welcome back! :D

[enchance]
