Inventing the Steel page 1
This is the first colored page of my often mentioned comic. This is the first piece that I've done with my iMac,Photoshop CS5 and my intuos4 wacom tablet. Honestly I can say that the new computer helped a lot because photoshop was a lot faster…that was before I put 8gigs of memory in the computer. I have to say that I don't notice much of a speed boost with the extra memory, but I guess my computer is happy that it isn't maxed out like it was before so I guess the extra memory helps somehow. The new tablet is a huge improvement over the old one…I honestly don't even need to use my keyboard 85% of the time and I can zoom in without switching tools which is really helpful. I was already using the space bar hand thing to move my art around, but having a button for it is helpful as well. The new PS is just as good as the old one…I have a feeling that I could be doing more with it though, so the jury is still out on how big of an improvement it is over the last version. But I needed for the new computer so its a moot point.
Here is the inked version of the page :
This is the B&W version of the colors which I use to tell me how the values of the image are working or not working together.
And here is the colored version…sadly I forgot to get a copy of the colors before I applied the inks to the picture. Speaking of which I did throw some color on the ink to help create depth,interest and to direct the views eye….
