Hey here's a cool way to do a small highlight, for instance the shine in a pupil
ON a pencil drawing, use white-out and put some drops anywhere on the drawing to make small highlights! I hope this helps you and i hope it doesn't make me look stupid! heheh

White-out in Photoshop? hmmm.

[mantis]

umm. . .whitout on a pencil drawing is horrible!!! I don't understad how this works. I am a traditional artist and I doubt that would work, but I maybe wrog, so please elaborate.

Uh...

That's fucking stupid.

Why not just draw everything _but_ the highlight in dark pencil...?

i've done that before on pencil drawings, cause sometimes the drawing might get messy and even though you drew everything but, the highlight might get lost in gray. There is the downside though that it doesnt really match the drawing, but if you scan it in or something like that, it comes out fine imo.

Okie, let me defend daz a little here. I personally use white gouache instead of white-out....but white-out works for quick sketches. Try using the pen style ones...not the brush kind. They also now sell white paste pens, which work even better. However, nothing beats a nice brush and gouache.

I think Daz is referring to adding highlights to a drawing that already has value. Or drawing on non-white paper. I have some old school samples at home, so i'll post them up tomorrow.

Keep this in mind tho Daz: you said put them everywhere...umm....that's a bad idea. Highlights should be added carefully, to give your drawings more dimention and volume. Adding them everywhere will flatten your work...

I should have phrased it better
its good for tiny hightlights like on the eyes
not for big ones...
and on pencil sketches..
or pencil crayon ones
heeeeres and example i dunno if u can see but white out was used on the eyes, lips, and the ice on his ears

i didn't draw this its from a magazine

I thought this was standard pratice. very suprised to see peopole refuting it. As Vortx said tho brush + gouache is better, and gives more control (I also remember being recomended that bleedproof white stuff).

daz199- Nice pic and good example btw

[Darkmoon]

better and easier than whiteout is those new glo pens, like ballpoint white ink,
Sc00p bought me some of them and i used them on marker drawings and pencil sketches, great things they are!

i really recomend them, but watch out for stadler just cause its a big name doesnt mean its better....

I'm with Rinaldo on this one. I don't understand the big deal everyone has made over this. This is not something that you would do to a drawing that you plan on framing, but it is great for production type drawings or something you plan on making digital. By the way.. whiteout is just the poor man's gouche... hehe
