Well, as you all might know, Painter can pull of a nice pencil drawing effect (ofcourse if used with tablet)
I tried to do something simmilar to that in Photoshop with a mouse but.......



.... it turned like shit imo.
What do you think about the effect (somekinda paper texture would help)? Don't look at the drawing, since its a piece of crap.

[Morganic]

You're right, it looks like shit.

[Binke]

yah kinda looks like a real pencil.

Binke, you sure? =))
Dunno, looks like a smudged to hell pencil. yuck.

Ok, so we now know that we shouldn't use computer for sketching (gosh, what was I thinking)
Thanks for helping out

Oh, btw, it was supposed to look like somekinda goblin head, but.....ah nevermind.

I use the computer for sketching! But they are some very ugly and vague 2-min sketches, I only use them as painting guides anyway... so I guess that doesn't count

Hey DerPunkt,
When the fork wll you buy yourself a tablet. If you can't afford it...go collect bottles for one night and I'm sure you have enough for a graphire. It's not that expensive.
And, why the fork didn't you compete in the 3dpalette compo ??

It looks like a technique called"lavering"
in Norwegian wich is mixing ink with water
and paint loosely over a sketch.
Damn! I don't know the term for it in
english.

It comes from the french word 'laver', meaning 'to wash'. (That was today's bit of trivia)

[Snake Grunger]

En fran�ais on dit "au lavis". C'est l'expression qu'on prenait dans notre cours d'arts. Enfin, c'est une technique hot, mais j'aime plus le pinceau de Photoshop

Qu'est-ce que Affected dit est vrai aussi!

[Affected]

Moi, j'aurais cru qu'on doive dire 'Ce qu' Affected (a) dit est vrai aussi'...

(Ben, je viens de passer un examen ce matin..)

Yeah dP, I have to agree with Joachim:

Get that tablet!

Well, I love doing sketchy pics in photoshop. Like the pic shown here I work mostly with a single sized brush with no pressure and then I just draw like a maniac. Switching between forground color and baground color for drawing/erasing. I just love that spontanious way of photoshopping...heh!

I have tried to work like that in Painter but had no luck getting that spontanious feeling into my pics. I guess it's because of the funky GUI of painter..

btw. the pic is not finished yet...

Hehe, that was a nice 'Fork!' Saffron. =)

I always sketch on computer directly -- I guess that's because I don't have a scanner. Whatever I sketch on paper forever remains on paper.

DP: I can't beleive you STILL don't have a tablet after all this time talking about it! Move your ass! You got a job now! (I find the sketch looks cool btw, I saw the goblin-ish face right away).

Be the fork... and may the fork be with you.

Boom: Cool sketch -- reminds me of some FAKK2 concept sketches by Bisley!

Joachim: What was that "..you forgot your underwear at Oslo central station.." in Outside all about? =))

I find that I can draw in photoshop and with a mouse much better than I can on paper. It use to be the reverse, and I thought at first its great to be able to sketch well with a mouse. Now that I think about it, I cant draw worth a diddily when I'm bored and in someplace without a computer, heh. This sux.

thanks guys... I didn't mean to break in on DP's thread though.Sorry DP!

I will post it in a new thread when I finish it..

By the way, I agree with Micke. D-Punkts drawing looks very much like a lavering (which its also called in danish...heh!)

....And get that tablet DP! NOW!

Dunno why am I bringing this topic on top, but I guess I have to answer a couple of questions. okie =)

BTW, micke, yeah laver-ish thing it is, here in Croatia we call it "LAVIR-ani tus" uhm, lavered ink. Yeah, mixing ink with water for middle tone values (Altho we are not alowed to use that in drawing classes - B/W only)

Tablet - as you "might" know, I hate small tablets - very unprecise (atleast the one I have) and mouse works better for me. The one I want is A4, coz my hand is used on working on large area - I like having free strokes/lines - today I'll post a topic with some sketches, so you'll know what I mean. Anyways, that tablet is around 3500kn which is somewhere around 1000DM - and a standard paycheck here, doesn't go higher than 700DM.

3DP - I didn't have the time to finish my picture (shame on me I had a whole month) bcoz I am hard at work preparing for my 1st exhibition.

Boomstick - my whole idea of this experiment is to get a "PENCIL" feel of it, I was trying to avoid B/W. Doing stuff with B/W is ok in PShop, I like it, its fast, crispy clean, but still not the thing I was looking for. And, no, I don't mind =))

So, all I can conclude is....I wish tablet would impress me more. I haven't tried that A4, I think that thing would fulfill my needs. The style I am pushing forward, imo, can only be done with mouse, bcoz, I think, it still has roots in oldschool. Dunno =)

take care - till I get home and post those drawings
