ok more bg studies










input on the color of the howie post drawings would be appreciated. it feels like a puzzle game trying to figure out the right colors.

oh, I also learned that the eye is attracted to high contrast areas.

as far as the brushes i'm using, i can't even remember where i got them from but I'm in the process of making my own custom ones from the actual original bg's as I go along, I can pass them along to you guys when I'm done.

btw, it's crazy how fast everyone is getting better.

thanks
Anne

  1. Hi Ann

    is there any way you can make the big sponge texture look more like the sponge in the originals?


    for example on the rock in the last image


    also, the sponge should be frisketed off


    the Howie Post colors are again,muddy unlike the HB colors

    try putting some texture in those too

  2. Again, these look great! Also, if you did catch those brushes (namely those interesting sponges) and pass them along, I'd be forever grateful. Or maybe even a quick run-through on how to make them, so we could have a little shared library going on.

  7. I agree with paul... they look very similar to the original.
