finally fixed my pressure on new tablet.

Had to remove a lot of levels of wacoms pressure to mimic the pressure i had in the intuos 3 brand. As you can see in this one was hard to pull of, i mean check the first version, looks flat, its because i had hard time glazing since september, finally after takinf a month to customize my pen, i finally nail it.

It seems painter 12 cant handle 2048 levels of pressure, i cant glaze, strokes comes out with lot of opacity.

And check the other version now that i callibrated properly the brushtrackling plus the wacom settings on pressure, i can finally glaze. For so long didnt noticed that took me the twice of time to do the works, because it was hard giving the final touches to a pinture.

Check what can i do with proper callibration, this image took 1 third of the time of the image on top.

On the image below, you casn see the previous stage on the first attempt, wasnt sure about the pose, also forgot what the client really wanted, he wanted a curvy girl, more skin, sexy and muscular, as you can see im not following any of those stages. On image below.

Its because the pen i just couldnt control it, i cant believe ive been working with wrong settings since september, damn, it was like doing a stroke and praying to get a glaze result, anyway this was before i callibrated the image, you casn see here i started with sepia tones, to see the light and if the pose convince me, as you can see its stiff, and there are parts not convincing me but its a beggining,

Then added more details and corrected parts, the image on top was like 10 minutes, the one below has a couple of hours, maybe like 3.

I over exagerated the manga eyes, to see if it was the eyes the thing that was bothering me, but it wasnt, it was her head position, also image was really dark in tones, so i fix it later, thank God i callibrated the pen, now was easier to finish the next steps, and it ended like the final piece.

chaaaapaaapaaachapaaaapaaaa

Doing some practices now that i got a free tiny bit of time, this character brings me back good memories.

Having fun

This one started really caothic, i wanted to cry, feels like each color i added pushed me far away from my goal. Also the pressure of the pen wasnt helping either, after longtime tweaking the pen in wacom, and moving opacity on brushes started to like the brushes, all of them.

And now, after some hours on the picture, colors started to make sense, the more strokes i add, the better will be. I really wanted intense oranges and blues on this piece.

New sketch in progress

A lot of people thinks i work in huge papers to add tons of details, well that can work if i use a wooden pencils for lines, but i work mostly with mechanical pencils, so filling a big paper will be harder, so i work really small, its hard to get tiny details but works easier for me, specially for keeping your drawings in a simple carpet holder.


My lines are really clean, people think i use a magic process but i simply like erasing as much i like drawing lines.

Here im using a concept i just learned impurity versus purity, its interesting indeed.

A good way to start the week

Got this in my home early in the mourning , nothing like a good art book and a coffee to start reading, i had the other book of james gurney, really like this artist works and books.

Kansas Girl

Art trade with Rene Cordova, i rarely do those but i love his work, He asked me to draw Dorothy, so im thinking in drawing her like she belongs in Lullaby world, a farm girl. its looking nice. you can see my pencils are really clean i dont use blue pencils because they tend to make paper dirty, as soon i as got it i will post it on deviant art.

New drawing board on the works

I have a big drawing board, with tons of stuff on it. So i cant add an angle to it anymore besides a 180, so i build a tony board on top, more portable type. I liked ended nice. Now im going to start adding paint on top, i will upload some images when i get it done.
