Wacom girl art

Cintiq Girl finally finished :)

In May I was working at the Wacom stand at the MCM comic expo in London. I created 'Cintiq girl' especially for the event and spent most of my time there demonstrating the new Cintiq 13HD graphics tablet screen combo, which was pretty cool!

On the Friday I tried out Manga Studio 4 (Now known as Clip Studio) to digital ink her. It seemed like an ok program, but not sure I’d use it again and I couldn’t figure out if there’s a way to create anti-aliased lines? I then spent the weekend working on the colours in Photoshop CS6 in between chatting to customers, but still needed a day to finish after I got back.

Also wanted to see how my new laptop handles large Photoshop files. This one is about 1.5GB! (this image is 6% actual size) and it seemed fine for everything other than smudge tool.

Thanks for checking it out!

Cintiq Girl WIP

WIP- 85% complete and it’s been sitting on my hard drive in this state for weeks. Perhaps another 3 hours and I’ll be done with the colouring- just need to find the time.

Manga Sketch

Manga Character

Anime Girl - Something I doodled over the weekend. I was experimenting with different drawing styles again and after this one, I finally decided to give up on my Edding 1800 profipens. I’ve been using them to ink for a while, but the ink flow sucks, they’re not true black and they generally seem too dry to draw a consistent non-grainy line. I want to find a new set of super fine line-line pens which work for me. Suggestions welcome!
