And here’s another doodle from Thursday that got put through the ringer.
A doodle from Thursday, which I then took into Photoshop and did some color experimenting with. For a long time, I have toiled away at trying to eliminate white pixels from scanned line drawings, so that color layers will show through. I’ve used the wand tool, but with limited success. There would still be those maddening little grey pixels sticking to the lines. Thank goodness, a guy named Guillermo finally tipped me off to an easier technique, and I’m going to share it here with anyone who is interested. All you have to do is set your line art’s layer to “Multiply” and create your color layers beneath that. Voila! Guillermo also gave me some tips on tweeking brush settings to get more out of my Wacom tablet, which I’m also experimenting with here. Still needs some work, though. Anyway, please try to enjoy the ugliness.
I took down a few of the header images I was growing a little tired of and added a few new ones. These are from photos Jamie and I took on a recent trip “up north.” All three of these were shot on the same day. Round, round, get around, I get around, yeah…
