How To Draw Tonally (Non-Traditionally) - 02

The second Non-Traditional demonstration of costumed gesture drawing for the Animation and Entertainment Industry, handled tonally while keeping in mind the ground plane and a sense of mood, rough lighting and a sense of character to a story-driven drawing.

drawing on the computer has become the norm for me, but fun to remember art school days of having to use pencils...great stuff

@lltffd,

I agree. All my professional work is done digitally, but when I draw outside of class and while I instruct I make it a point to continue to draw traditionally as to not loose the look and feel of it as I hope it finds it's way into my digital work too.

Best,

Prinsdam,

Funny man . . . don't blow your wad and purchase too many pencils. Then again, it's nice to get a good release when doodlin'.

Best,

Rick,

The pencil used in this demo is actually a Sanford Ebony Pencil. Extra smooth, jet black for a nice set of values from soft and light to a very dark black. Thank you for your nice comments . . . more to come,

This looks nothing like a real person does! It looks like a cartoon! That's exactly what it is! It's non-traditional! It's perfectly GENIUS!!!

nice work!

[playadelrey100]

everything done digitally? thats not always true. Ppl who do comics/manga start from paper + pencil. Inking then tranfer to the computer to add backgrounds. but rarely to the artists i know they do everything by hand which i give them respect.
