LOL!!! @ the dime for scale comparision!!!

hahahahahahahahaha dunno, man, you simply dominate the funk-a-toon domain. awesome.

[lemorris]

ok

It's official

my daughter is f-bomb'n awesome!

It probably won't look like much diffrent in general but it's all about method.

I usually do my lineart in Illustrator. My daughter uses Photoshop to do the lineart and rendering. She just showed me how to do the linework her way and it's great!



once again may not look like much but it is a much more organic method. She has a fancy tablet while I'm still on a mouse but even with the mouse I'm able to get a more natural look and feel to the line. It's computer but it's much closer to the pencil line.

here's a close up



now naturally not to be out done I had to show her how to make it a script and just hit a key to save a ton of time so I guess there was alittle give and take but mostly me taking a step back and marveling at her skill again.

I'm so proud of who she is.

she just finished a piece and put it on her site

I know a few other artist that use similar methods...they're gonna dig this one.

Shout out to Alix Harris...wow sweetheart....wow

oh she's 15

So how does she do it exactly to get the smoothness of line in P-shop?

[lemorris]

the dreaded pen tool of course



that's just for the linework.

the rendering is done using locked transparency on layers and some fine brush work.

I'll explain more as I understand it more.

Dang, Lemorris... Spoony is just awesome! "The off-spring always springs higher than what it sprung off of!" I'm looking forward to how she uses the pen in PS. Robo

[lemorris]

yeah I know man. I got no problem with her being "better" than me. That's not something I believe in anyway. I do know that I am very proud of her as an artist but more so as a person.

it's goin well

I'm still learning as I go though so there's stuff I'll be tweaking but you know...it's a toon so I don't have to get lost in the sub-plot and ultimately I'll have a new method in my arsenal.

Music?

right now it's that Slim Kid 3 joint that came out this fall I think. He's one of the members of the Pharcyde but this is his solo joint. Looks like some DJ Bitman, old DJ Jazzy Jeff and my mainman Viktor Vaughn aka MF Doom is comin up so....that all makes it a good night.

I'll post in a bit. I'd like to finish the lineart no later than tomorrow so I can throw in some color inbetween weekend jobs.

goin well

learnin lots

fun piece

[Madish]

Good and creative one, keep it up

[nicecar]

Thats not normal, i use the pen tool in PS for my lineart, and its nowhere NEAR that good.

How much would postage be on your daughter?

Great work, keep it up

[bonzelite]

So how is the pen tool tracing achieved in Photoshop to such organic but tightly drawn effect?

This beetle looks like my old car Mine was 74'... Btw looks really great, cong.

[lemorris]

I'll make a tutorial when I get it all down.

Right now I'd just bring up more questions as there's still parts I'm figuring out.

I'll make one when I'm done with this piece.
