    I transfer the rough drawings on my light table and fix stuff.

    So you have to scan the rough drawing into the computer and then go from there...I think I get it, but I'm totally computer stupid..Just watched all the tutorials, man that looks time consuming.Your end results are beautiful though.

    yeah

    everything starts with pencil drawings then I redraw it digitally, but if the pencil isn't good then the final results won't be either.

    the computer is just a tool...like an eraser or an airbrush. The pencil is where it's at.

    It's a very cool process. I can draw but like I said,computer stupid.Copy/paste was a big accomplishment for me, hahaha.That's great you get to do something you love and make a living off it.

    thanks guys...there's tons better..lurking these boards matter of fact...they should post.

    tried a new approach...no inking....I wanted to retain character....it kinda worked...a better pencil will help, but not bad for a first crack.
