No problem!

What programs did you use - if you don't mind me asking?

uglyographer In reply to belowbroadway [2009-05-11 16:04:40 +0000 UTC]

I use Photoshop primarily. Though, I am trying to learn Painter X. For any kind of vector or typography work, I use Illustrator.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you are only 15!!! Besides, you don't need all the fancy software to become a great artist. Pencil and paper, the originals. In the mean time, save up the cash (allowance? after school job?). Wacoms are getting cheaper (Bamboo is great for beginners) and you can get programs at discount for being a student. Birthday and Christmas. You could be up running within a year.

Yup, you're right -- thanks!

Actually, my art teacher encourages me to use penicl/pen rather than do it on the computer; she likes digital art, sure, but she likes traditional more. And anyway, firs you need to be good art -- only then can you do the same on the computer and make it all pretty.

Thanks again!

Gaahh I love how everything is in monochrome, except for the bird. Excellent way of making it stick out.
I also love the style this is done is. It's just very nice and refreshing.

Excellent work, and congrats on a well deserved DD (:

Dude, so beautiful! I LOVE the orange bird. May I ask what medium you used on this, and will the rest of the pages also be downloaded to deviantArt?

uglyographer In reply to AgnesPterry [2009-05-08 04:14:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

I drew the characters out on regular old printer paper with my trusty blue col-erase pencil. I scanned it into Photoshop and desaturated the line work. Colored in Photoshop. Flats colors and textures.

this is unbelievable. I think your comic will work out just fine! ^^~

I love the concept of everythin else is monochrome, but just bring out one colour, cause its really attention grabbing

and nice, cant forget the nice part ^^~

I'll watch ya, waiting for more of these! ^^
