"The White Mill"

 

Sketch for CGTalk daily sketch group.

 

--

 

Photoshop 7, default brushes.

 

 

 

Sort of used a ref, but only for the structure of a basic windmill. [link]

Added snow to the roof. Not sure if it's any better... :?

Your lines look so crisp, I find when I am drawing in PS I have to go slow or the lines skip. Doesn't seem to be as bad when I'm using a larger brush but... Any secret I'm missing out on here? Did you draw that quite a bit bigger then resize it or???

 

 

 

Looks good btw, nice sketch :)

Why should we buy postage stamps when we can make our own?

Thanks!

 

 

 

The original was a bit larger. [link]

 

 

 

Usually when I paint lines I use a size 3 brush. I follow three basic steps to keep things clean and quick: sketch, clean up, and post-edit.

 

 

 

1. Sketch the lines roughly.

 

2. Clean up quickly with eraser & brush. Zoom if needed...

 

3. After you're done: shrink, sharpen, constrast, what have you... All of my post-editing is done on a separate document. Go Image > Duplicate or press the "Duplicate State" button on your history window to keep things separate. :)

If it was a serious speed painting, I probably would have stopped somewhere between step 1 and 2.

Really? This is odd.. I have to go fast to keep my lines straight and smooth, heh :P What do your lines look like when you go fast? It might be something to do with your tablet...

Must be my tablet! I use a wacom tablet, is there some setting I can change somewhere? This is what my line look like when I go fast, they aren't much better when i go slow either:

Although it's just a sketch, it looks like it could be a complete minimalism piece. Very cool feel to it, the snow makes the picture for sure :). I'd love to see more of these, and would probably partake if I had a tablet...
