I don’t do digital art (for now) so I tried ibis for free and used my finger on my phone. Getting clean lines is really hard 😭 so I spent way longer trying to do that than anything else. Ibis has a lot of fun brushes! If anyone has any coloring/rendering advice I will gladly accept it 😎
@Mikey Fleming really nice for just using your finger! I like the second coloring more than the first. The colors are stronger and j so like the light rendering. I would say that I would like to see those shadows just a tad darker to add some more contrast, but other than that, I know trying out new tools can be super challenging, so thanks for posting your progress!
Thought I would share my comic style as I start this much needed study. It’s definitely got its imperfections and is very lumpy but I find humor in it, and the mass of void since they are floating on since I don’t like backgrounds 😂
@Mikey Fleming thanks for sharing, it’s always nice when people post some of their sequentials! I understand your feelings around background, you’re not alone here in not really liking backgrounds, however they are super valuable, and of course, helps to not have figures just floating around. The pacing and layout works fine, I would encourage you to make sure th panels are clearly defined, I had a hard time realizing the first panel is actually a diagonal split, so just making sure there is a fitter present would help that readability. Thanks again for posting your work!
@Tasha Jeffcoat the hair is definitely softer and feels more natural, I also think the simplified drapery on the shirt looks nice and more natural as well!
@Joshua Grube I would watch the thickness of her neck, its a little too thick at the moment and it’s causing her to seem a little more masculine, and I would also give her slightly wider shoulders, right now they are really pinched and narrow compared to how wide her ribcage is.
