AOI were really helpful! You should totall...@sally:<br />AOI were really helpful! You should totally go. They want me to come back in a few weeks with some new ideas and more context - which I guess is a good sign? Hehe!<br /><br />@fluffy:<br />Yes I know, sorry! It was just because this piece was just an experiment to get composition and colours right. I need to work on that though, thanks for your help! I'm hopefully going to use your advice for the third stage ^_^;;<br /><br />@ATom1746:<br />Thanks for the help, I will definitely look up those comics! And for the record I don't /think/ you're crazy...but the jury's still out : p<br /><br />R xxxxxxxxxxxxRachael Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520374774225798567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241736312030510926.post-29137505346699405852009-07-14T23:15:18.684+01:002009-07-14T23:15:18.684+01:00Hey Racheal!

But don't worry I'm not crazy or anything (even though that is exactly what a crazy person would say)<br /><br />It would be worth playing around with some shading/shadows a bit, it can be really quick and easy and will give your illustrations some depth.<br />Check out the 'Flight' anthology series, its a colaboration of some amazing comic artists. Looking through these books and studying the broad range of work and styles has been really helpful and inspirational for me.ATom1746https://www.blogger.com/profile/03493780059254775899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241736312030510926.post-55231170799569427452009-07-14T15:42:45.087+01:002009-07-14T15:42:45.087+01:00The drawing itself is nice, but the coloring still...The drawing itself is nice, but the coloring still has that issue where you're not covering the areas behind the lines' edges, which unfortunately looks very unprofessional. If you're using Photoshop, remember to color onto a separate layer behind the lines and use magic wand + expand selection to set up the fill area (and disable "all layers" on the paint bucket tool).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241736312030510926.post-39171984776221270682009-07-14T14:10:20.374+01:002009-07-14T14:10:20.374+01:00I'm really interested to hear about your portf...I'm really interested to hear about your portfolio session with AOI as I'm planning to do that too.... but I'm a bit scared!
