RE: Take My Hand... And I'll Lead You To "I Thought It Would Be Zombies..." Comic Creation Update #3!

in #comics7 years ago

Everything looks great. I love the perspective shot when he is reaching out his hand. The beauty of digital is that inking requires much less focus. I've been watching Sopranos re-runs while inking lately. I wish I lived in Philly and could be part of your "accountability crib" (that's what DDP calls it in DDP yoga lol). You gotta be all about the crib!

Sort:  

We’re all spread out. PA, OH, and MN. We’ve met through Steemit, but I’ve had the opportunity to “real world” meet up with @kommienezuspadt a couple times now.
We’re all still feeling out how to conduct this little accountability group, but maybe in the future it’ll expand or inspire others to buddy up themselves!
And once again, some of my favorite work results when I take time to “pre-visualize” with 3D tools. Just like the car on the cover, that difficult foreshortening shot was easily achieved with a 3D mannequin reference layer in Clip Studio. I’d love to build my skills in drawing straight from imagination... but I’ll fight a story onto paper any way I can for now!

Clip Studio keeps getting better and better with the 3d materials. I imagine when Version 6 comes out, it will basically be Poser and Clip Studio merged as one (where else is there to go as far as evolution in drawing software).

I'm already finding Clip Studio's figures easier to use than Poser. Being able to pose and manipulate them within my comic page and also having them create their own perspective grids... amazing icing on the cake!
I only see a need for Poser now if it is actually going to deliver your finished image. A 3D render. I don't even care for a huge prop library, it's just all about getting the basic forms blocked in and then redrawing the whole thing by hand. At that point you can tackle costuming, texturing, etc. with traditional drawing techniques - but the layout and perspective tools of Clip Studio to me are lifesavers and amazing at getting ideas onto the page how I initially envisioned them.
