These are simple, but done with different techniques and programs. Up above is purely digital, drawn and painted in Photoshop. The guy below was drawn in Adobe Illustrator according to a pencil sketch, then coloured in Photoshop. I’m happy with the ink lines I’m able to create, and they’re fast to do, too. This strange [...]

Man and Monster,coloured
By Jack in ballpoint pen, colour, digital, digitalI’m still adventuring in colouring sketches, and hence, cartoons. Difficult to figure out what’s too much, because I like the original drawing, done in roller pen in the sketchbook, just fine. But these flat colours with subtle gradations are all right. I also have to work on my colour sense, to let things blend into [...]

By Jack in colour, digital, men, womenMore cartoon colouring. I’ve noted that few people are visiting the blog on Sunday, so I can post today in relative obscurity.

All-digital Airplane
By Jack in colour, digital, paintings, planes, vectorsThis took me a bit of time, but taught me a lot about digital painting, and making clean lines in illustrator and photoshop. It started life as one of my silly little sketches, so it’s not a real kind of airplane. I’m experimenting with different lines to see which ones are the prettiest and fastest [...]

Woman in a Bikini
By Jack in colour, digital, Pen & Ink, sketches, womenYes, she’s in a bikini, but she’s got a personality, so I don’t think she’s just being an object. This is another drawing, in real ink this time, which I coloured with the computer.

More Digital Painting
By Jack in colour, digital, womenI’m pretty happy with this beauty, and am slowly figuring out brushes in photoshop. Hard to set the ones I like. This took a lot of time, but then again so did the acrylic pictures I used to paint on matte board when I was in High school. Still have one of those.

Digital Paintings
By Jack in colour, digital, sketchesThanks to this site here, I’ve taken baby steps in digital painting. Not easy for me! Had to learn about brushes, mixing colours, transparency, layers, and flow. I recommend the lessons here to give you a hint of how to proceed. I still haven’t been able to cobble together a decent palette, but will work [...]

Aviator
By Jack in colour, planes, sketches, watercolourThis feels slightly less demented than most of my offerings, but I’m probably kidding myself. All the same, I feel more control of my medium and the effects it creates, and also my drawing. Hooray!

Comic Colour and Nasty Horsemen
By Jack in Animals, ballpoint pen, black and white, Brush Pen, colour, digital, horses, men, sketchesI’ve finally learned a comic colouring technique that’s relatively fast, and that I’m happy with. Check this series of youtube videos from the Overground Comic Company, if you want to find out more. Meanwhile, I’ve been drawing a stack of things. Here are a couple of angry guys on horses a la Frank Frazetta for [...]

Arrr…. Ulllg….
By Jack in colour, men, sketches, watercolourThis guy is vaguely based on John Cusack from the movie “Say Anything,” but I was too lazy to draw a portrait. So he becomes “random guy,” because it’s too cold to go out on the balcony and draw people.

Hard and Soft Edges
By Jack in colour, sketches, watercolour, womenI dislike ink outlines, but am working on hard and soft edges in drawings. Leaving the middles alone in this case, or giving them a gentle wash.

Fast and Slow Watercolours
By Jack in colour, men, sketches, watercolour, womenOne of these was painted very quickly, the other very slowly. Which is which? Do you care?
