(23) PSC: Batman Sketch Card (ink/color)

[keelu123]

where did you get these awesome cards or did you draw them???? answer plzz

[MsNicoleGoff]

@keelu123 I drew, inked and colored them. These are videos of the process(es). ^^ Thanks!

[PROGAM4R]

this is a girl?!!!

[MsNicoleGoff]

@PROGAM4R Actually BatMAN is a man...;P But I am a girl. ^^

[cookyerowndamneggs]

@MsNicoleGoff fucking awesome, did you have to wait for the ink to dry and if not what ink is that? (before you filled in with the markers) cheers

[cookyerowndamneggs]

@cookyerowndamneggs just learnt to read... pelican ink 

[MsNicoleGoff]

@cookyerowndamneggs I try to wait at least one day before coloring. Just to make sure the ink settles into the paper as much as possible. But I've also colored right after. The paper quality also has an effect on how well the ink dries and sets into the paper with little to no bleeding when colored over.

[elitealex1]

This is incredible, I just envy at how you can manipulate the brush so well.

I can just imagine myself making fat lines where i want them to be thin :)

This is definitely one of my favs!

[MsNicoleGoff]

@elitealex1 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! The pressure of holding the brush to the paper is very important to get the right thicknesses for sure.

[mrjack1345]

Where did you get your pens from!?!!!

[MsNicoleGoff]

@mrjack1345 Pen? If you mean the ink one, it's a brush dipped in ink and I get the brush (Raphael Kolinski #0) from the Joe Kuberts School art store (~$20). But you can get them elsewhere including online of course. The ones I color with are Copic markers (~$4ea), I get them online, but you can get them at some art/craft stores.

[mrjack1345]

@MsNicoleGoff Nice one

im from the UK but ill be searching online for those bad boys.

nice pictures btw!

[MsNicoleGoff]

@mrjack1345 Well, you might want to start cheaper to get a feel for both brushes and markers. ;P And thx for likin' the pics! XD

[sirmousalot11]

hmm i'm considering getting copic markers (just a gray set or something to gray scale my stuff like Adam Hughes) what do you suggest, warm gray, toner gray, neutral gray, cool gray [oh my brain hurts =/

i was thinking about getting toner gray but i'm not sure

[MsNicoleGoff]

@sirmousalot11 I don't know what to recommend whole heartedly since I use them all...^^; I haven't tried just tonal work yet, so I wouldn't know what I'd prefer over the other. Maybe try cool and warm so you can use both in one image...to help distinguish the clothes, skin, hair etc more from each other? The cools and warms adds 'color' to the tonal work...while tonals and neutrals are more 'neutral'.

[MsNicoleGoff]

@sirmousalot11 Cont... You can always start off with the same 3 of each version. I 'skip' a number when I color in groups of 3. (with the greys) ie. N2, N4, N6...C2, C4, C6...etc. Hope some of that helps!

[sirmousalot11]

@MsNicoleGoff ahha thanx that really helps

[MsNicoleGoff]

@sirmousalot11 You're very much welcome! XD

[wickidbear]

Your videos are awesome! One thing, what do you use for your inking pen/brush? Ima try to get it.

[MsNicoleGoff]

@wickidbear Thanks! In this video it's a Raphael Kolinski #0 brush dipped in Pelican ink. May need some practice before diving in the first time....it's not the same as a 'regular' pen. ;)

[KatzenSchokolade]

Omg, this is amazing! O.o

At start, is a paintbrush?

[MsNicoleGoff]

@KatzenSchokolade In a sense, yes...it's a paint brush. And thanks for watching! XD

[KatzenSchokolade]

@MsNicoleGoff - Ah ok thanks and no prob =]

[ReNae231]

im so jelly Miz.Nicole! can u show me how to draw lik that?

[MsNicoleGoff]

^^; These videos are about as much as 'showing' as I can do..., sorry. Although, I should have some pencil ones coming soon...;)

Thanks! *hug*

[Flairbrusher]

Beautiful, Nicole!!

[MsNicoleGoff]

Thank you! *hug*

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

its keaton

[MsNicoleGoff]

It's whoever you desire. ;P

[fishdirt]

Very nice! I always love your ink work and the burton Bat symbol was a nice touch but syncing your vid up to music was hilarious. The ink on and ink off haha classic.

[MsNicoleGoff]

Thank you! And since I don't draw him much...it's actually the only bat symbol I know. ^^;

Thanks for taking note of the inking on/off and such syncing. It plays out best when you have the right music for it...which doesn't happen much unless you go looking for it.

It also takes much more time and effort to do it when editing, buuuuut it pays off when someone like you points it out. ;)

[FMLFYT]

Dude I almost wet my pants out of excitement. Batman is my favorite hero of all time! Well... depending on how he's drawn but lol seriously, when I saw this I was sooo syked! You are too awesome and that ending was hilarious. So suggestive! Lmao! If possible I'd give you more than 5 stars.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! =)

[MsNicoleGoff]

Hehhehe...yay a Batman fan appreciating my only Batman sketch card! XD If you follow me on twitter, you'll get an update as to when I sell him to the highest bidder. ;)

(Along with the past 5 and 8 coming up...including a few that didn't make the video-cut.)

Thanks again for the kind and honest words! Happy Holidays to you as well!

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

so you draw them then sell them urself

[MsNicoleGoff]

It's usually I get commissions (paid to draw a given character) then draw them. But I have a group of them I did for a convention I went to last October and now I have leftovers to sell. ^^; But I use Youtube to have fun with the videos, not to 'sell' them. And the videos are not part of the original commission, just something I like to do if time and tools allow.

[GokuSuperSayianJin]

u got a new fan....ME XD

never stop drawing girl!!! ur sketching are awesome

[MsNicoleGoff]

Thanks! I haven't drawn since October though. I just don't draw much. This batch of 15 or so are from October...I'm just now getting to editing them. ^^: My next drawing 'session' is next month. XD

[SambaArtProduction]

i've a question why do u ink with water colors and not something like prisma colors or an inking pen

[MsNicoleGoff]

I ink with pelican ink...not watercolors. I learned to use the brush at Joe Kubert school (I used to use micron when I was younger). The brush lends itself better to me....I like how I can handle thin to thick lines and stuff. XD I tried Microns again, but the lines aren't as smooth for me.

The two are two different looks and feel. I don't believe one is better than the other. It just depends on what you're going for in style and method...and just what you're comfortable with.

[ComiCCloseup]

nice ending

[MsNicoleGoff]

Thanks!

[MrKennyKRH]

Nice. The Dark Knight is the ultimate hero imo.

[MsNicoleGoff]

Thank you!

But so internally flawed. Which all heroes should be. ;P

[kinggogeta123]

you do the best card drawings

btw what song is that???

[MsNicoleGoff]

Thanks! And I list everything in the credits. It's Scatman by Gummi Bear. XD

[xMeerahx]

This card's like the fire at the circus.

[MsNicoleGoff]

Sorry, I don't know what that means. ^^;

[xMeerahx]

Intense. Get it...In Tents....Circus' are commonly...in tents.

[MsNicoleGoff]

^^; Hehe...hehe..ha... ;P

[pmknight12]

l hope when Bruce comes back from limbo and once again dons the cape and cowl, l hope that he's wearing the emblem that u'vu depicted in your drawing!

[MsNicoleGoff]

Hehehhe...thanks! XD

[Soferia]

teheh like the whole vid but the ending mad me laugh 'common robin... etc..."  sweet

[MsNicoleGoff]

Glad you liked it! I was waiting for a good opportunity to add a unique (to the vid) sound clip for that end....the cat one is my default one. ;P
