EqD Event 3 Submissions - Day 17 By TapeDiggity Watch

8 Favourites 5 Comments 737 Views

Ladies and gentlemen, I humbly present my first non-digital NATG submission. Now you all can see how poorly I draw without the nitpicking capabilities of Photoshop and Sai!



Yeah, I tried something different again; at the very least, I wanted to gauge my rustiness with traditional media. Day 17's prompt encouraged the decision, too, since the pressure of IRL paper would theoretically embed itself in a picture about the stresses of paper. The logic seemed to make sense, but everything does when you don't sleep well.



Not only did I get to draw Mayor Mare for the first time, but I also played around with sketching in non-photo blue, inking the results, and processing a scanned image in Adobe Photoshop. I'm not entirely happy with what I churned out, but I ended up learning a lot about the consequences of non-photo blue in the process. The wax composition of the darn thing gave my Sakura pigment liners trouble, so I'm planning on using pure Indian Ink and a brush next time. Better break out those hobby store coupons!
