Just wondering what you do to get started on a signature, personally I draw the characters by hand, redraw it to clean up the lines by paper. Then ill go to paint and try to match my drawing from paper as much as possible by hand. Then if i have another char in the picture i repeat. Then i do the background on paint, unless there are major things in the bg (like a castle, or other characters) i will draw that on paper first. I was just wondering what everyone else does, like do u do stick people then draw from there (i used to do that but wasnt very good for me). Or do you scan the paper drawn picture onto your computer and use that for linework and colour it?

Depends on the type of sig i'm doing, and how lazy i am lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like for a landscape... Load up Vue, get my land placement and stuff like i want, work on atmosphere to fit the land, and then get a surface map to fit them. Open it up in photoshop, mess with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other things it depends. Abstracts if i'm lazy i'll take an older render or two and mix 'em together, throw in some brushing and other crap, and add text :lol: . If i'm not lazy i'll actualy make an abstract in bryce :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other things... well yeah you get the point.

I draw a rough outline on paper, then go over it for details, then use a light gray on GG for an outline, then refine with a black.
