Pencil, pen & ink, colored in Photoshop (2008 - 2009)

When I walked by my computer a few days ago and noticed that the Wacom tablet that my boyfriend gave me last Christmas was sitting there collecting dust, I became immensely sad. I had tried drawing with the tablet before, and when the drawings on the screen weren't turning out the way I wanted, I put the thing aside.

Then, yesterday, I found an old doodle that I did during some downtime at work about a year ago. I figured that it would be good practice to scan the sketch into my computer and then use to the tablet to color it in in Photoshop and do all kinds of other neat things with it.

Now, don't judge to harshly, as this is my first go at coloring a drawing digitally, but I must admit that I'm really happy with how it turned out. I tried to clean up the original scan as much as I could, but I kinda like the sketchy quality of the drawings. This may be a whole new look for my work.

Wow! Somehow, the coloring still looks like colored pencil ;) It's very in keeping with your style!
I like the concept, and I also like the different angles and poses! Nice stuff :D
:highfive:

My sister said the exact same thing, that the Photoshop colored looked no different than the colored pencils I normally use. It feels good to finally post something new.

I agree with the first comment. I honestly can not tell that this is even digital O_o Lol. This is going to be a great way to save money on those pencils and papers if you ask me. :D

Well, I'll probably still use traditional paper and pencils, but I will definitely be using the digital option as far as coloring goes.

I think they look great! It still has the same lovely quality and brightness as your coloured pencils with just a bit more of a smoother feel, lovely!

Thanks! I feel that when the colored pencil drawings go through the scanner, they loose some of their detail. Not so here, which is the part I'm diggin the most.

Yeah it's good like that eh...you do the same as m, I can't draw digitally for beans but I like colouring so I always scan traditional work in...you should try inking a pic and colouring it, that's fun too
