Another oldie...

Pencils by the Jill Friemark , colors by me. No special reason behind this, just a fun little exercise in coloring one of her characters.

In other news, John K now has a blog. Some great little tidbits on caricature up there. The man's a fountain of knowledge so I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts. I was a little disappointed in reading his opinions on digital painting. Painter is by far a superior tool...it's just too damn complicated. Photoshop used to be fairly limited when it came to brush selections (hate airbrushes!!), but ever since v.7 and CS, there's been a huge amount of textured brushes. More importantly, you can create your own! Pretty much anything you can scan in, can be turned into a brush of some kind. I'm thinking over the next couple of years, there's going to be a lot of great advances in photoshop brush techniques. Now if I could just figure out how to paint like my idol, Bill Wray.

You know how super-opinionated John is. That's part of his charm though! ;-) Back when Spumco first started producing some of these 'fake paintings' Photoshop didn't have any of the cool brushes it has now. I wish Painter was a bit more user friendly and not such a processor and memory hungry beast.

I'm glad you brought up brushes. I use photoshop 7 and was wondering if you could share the settings for your texture brushes. I love the look of it. I am working on a job right now that I could use this on. It would sure save me a lot of time if you would share this info....

thanks!
