Year: 2011 Client: Imagine FX Media: Pencil, PITT pen, COPIC warm & cool grey markers, Dr. PH Martin's High Carb India ink, and Winsor & Newton process white paint. The brush is a Scharff Series 3000 Fine Line, #3 size.
Here's a further WIP detail for the new IMAGINE FX cover and tutorial that I just completed. The issue should be out very soon. I'll post the final art (both colored and uncolored) in a few days.
How do you learn the ways of light on plastic and leather without a study? How do you know where the light will be on such a seemingly complicated fabric?
Isn't this simply outstanding! From my experience drawntolife13: Look, look again, look even more, and yet more again, and feeeeeeel your way! From my own experience it took me maybe several years to achive good (never this good though) shine shimmer effect in this way...!!! An once you have achieved good results in this way - your artist's eye will never see the world again in quite the way you did before...!!!
