June 12, 200620 yr "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... :?
June 12, 200620 yr Very good! Just goes to show what you can do with PS if you know what you're doing. I prefer the one without snow.
June 12, 200620 yr great work once again ven, i prefer the one without snow too. "A disbelief in magic can force some poor souls into believing in authority and business"
June 12, 200620 yr 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?aperson being
June 12, 200620 yr Author Thanks for the comments guys! 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 :) 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. Your lines look so crisp, I find when I am drawing in PS I have to go slow or the lines skip 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...
June 12, 200620 yr 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: Actually, Teenageloser just helped me figure it out, thanks TL! Thanks Venomai too :) Why should we buy postage stamps when we can make our own?aperson being
June 12, 200620 yr That may be your brush settings too, just check you don't have spacing or scattering on in the advanced brush panel.
June 12, 200620 yr yeah, most likley you have scattering on. Current Goals80/80 Fletching60/75 Woodcutting97/100 Combat
June 12, 200620 yr Wow, really makes me want to mess around with PS, maybe I'll go look at some tuts........
June 12, 200620 yr 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...
June 12, 200620 yr very clean... i'd love to see you color this :) your a master of the palette :) IMO
