Show your Roman artwork - Graham Sumner - 03-01-2014 Hi Evan if you use a range of soft pencils, all those high 'B' numbers, you can create effects with your finger to deliberately smudge the pencil. The pencil can then be 'fixed' using a spray to stop it smudging even more. Graham. Show your Roman artwork - Flavivs Aetivs - 03-01-2014 My art teacher told us the same thing with Charcoal. Thanks Graham. I am going to start using fine pen though; I like the look and colored pencil won' t mess up fine details. Show your Roman artwork - T. Flavius - 03-03-2014 Nice job, Evan! I actually much prefer hatching to smudging. The scanner picks it up better, too. Renico, I really like your shading there. Great job. I spent the weekend on a release party for a friend's comic, and sketched nearly all the time! Had my watercolour travel kit with me too, for some splash of colour on Cn. Cornelius Lentulus. All for the "Cannae" project. Plus: Sacred chickens!

Show your Roman artwork - Flavivs Aetivs - 03-04-2014 Awesome! Show your Roman artwork - Renicus Ferrarius - 03-05-2014 Quote:Renico, I really like your shading there. Great job. Thank you. I'll probably get it finished over the next couple of months. Your artwork rivals anything I've seen in high-end comics. I'm looking forward to your Darkness Over Cannae graphic novel. Show your Roman artwork - T. Flavius - 03-06-2014 Thank you, Stephen (and sorry for the name confusion in my last post)! It's really an illustrated rather than a graphic novel (curse the euphemistic comic industry and its terminology) - it's written in prose, but lavishly illustrated.

Flavius - 03-11-2014 Great job! What media did you use? Looks really neat and crisp! I'm finally done with my battle image. I made the mistake to leave it lying at that awkward stage with colours blocked in for two weeks... always a bad idea. But I'm happy with the result.

Show your Roman artwork - Decebalus - 03-11-2014 I know the problem of too long interruptions. It can happen that I don't like what I have done till then and make a new start (which must not necessarily be better in the result...). But you have finally done a great job - I love the heated atmoshere of the scene. Till now I was not so much interested in graphic novels but I will shurely look out for your work. In case of technics I use gouache on board. The standardbearers were painted in 2010 on bristol board, but this is a bit too smooth for washes. Now I use the Canson Arches hot pressed, which is absolutely fantastic to work on but I will give the cold pressed also a try. The texture seems very similar to your paper. Here a some Frankish belt buckles. The greenish background was a test with computer to make them stand more out. But sadly in the finished book they have been published on a white ground. [attachment=9256]TT03-Grtelschnallen-hi.jpg[/attachment] Show your Roman artwork - T. Flavius - 03-11-2014 That looks great! I'm much better with traditional media - I can't seem to wrap my brain around the opaque ones. As a last touch, yes, but only for the last 2%! Arches sucks water like nobody's business. I might try it again with liquid acrylics, but for watercolour, I don't get good results with it. I swear by Montval. Show your Roman artwork - Flavivs Aetivs - 03-11-2014 I'm not good at painting: I've only used Oils and Watercolor and I paint like a kindergartner. :lol: Show your Roman artwork - T. Flavius - 03-11-2014 You *don't* want to see me try oils! Show your Roman artwork - AMELIANVS - 03-12-2014 I think oils is little bit hard and annoying to work with,especially for beginners.But watercolors can be also very annoying and needs a lot of vigilance. |
