I have now completed the colouring for the character sketches. I have tried to maintain a traditional inked look, with a simpler colouring scheme (mostly flat colours with edge highlighting and light shadowing.
This is the first time I've done some major colouring in GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a free image editing tool that is pretty close to Photoshop. It's a great tool for what it does, and (hey!) it's free, so can't complain!
After a long hiatus, the drawing board once more calls. I have had a story idea roaming around my head for quite a while now, and it's time to "set it free" (fly, my pretty, fly)!!
These first few sketches are character designs for what I shall call (for now) the "mystery" character. Think of him/it as possibly a storyteller....
The creative person within struggles with the passion of expression...{phew}. These blogs contains posts on my current project ideas along with thumbnail sketches, thoughts, stories...and more.
