Wool - step by step
I had a question from someone about some of my artwork, specifically WOOL, so here is a "step by step" on this drawing.
There is no set process for me when creating a drawing or digital painting. Sometimes I will draw thumbnails to work out an idea, sometimes I will just start drawing.
With digital drawing I use photoshop and a wacom tablet. I do not have any special brushes and use what ever came with the program. I tend to use only 2, regular round hard brush and a rectangular dry media brush. Wool was made using the dry media brush. Brush opacity for most of the drawing was set to about 30% to create more texture
I work with layers on all these digital drawings and WOOL had 12 layers in total. The number of layers will vary per piece.
For my superhero sketches I am drawing on regular cheap copy paper. I am not using an expensive sketchbook or special paper. I use what ever I have laying around which sometimes may mean the back of an index card or a blank 4x6 thermal shipping label.
I personally like softer leads so almost every pencil I own is B pencil. My favorite pencil at the moment is my chunky 6b prang sketching pencil.
My go to mechanical pencil is my 0.9mm pentel pencil. The lead softness is somewhere on the B side.
for erasers I use a Staedler mars plastic eraser and, very rarely, a kneaded eraser.
I prefer to draw on harder surfaces so my drawing surface tends to be either my animation disc or a clipboard.
Feel free to ask me any other questions.
