Hello!
Here something I just made for a competition a friend launched on FB, the theme was about nature, but I couldn't resist the temptation of adding some human made structures:
Spoiler!
Very nice stuff. You know, on the subject of the backgrounds and the line art, I really like your line work. It's smooth, clear, and your characters are expressive, never easy things to do. I know a lot of people are more into coloring and the digital side of things, but I always really appreciate a nice, classic sense of form.
Of course, I'm partially color blind, so I'm probably biased!
That's awesome, I'm always glad to see traditional line work. Digital coloring is very beautiful, but for the figures themselves I usually think it looks more natural to have hand-drawn art. That's actually a pretty good mix, I think. I'm actually the same way with painting, I've only ever tried it once or twice, but if you ever get into it you should definitely post it here, I would love to see it. I recently tried out oil pastels and really liked them.
Last year I bought some pencils, brushes, A3 painting papers and lot of water color bottles, I put them in an empty unused room so I can start working on traditional painting...Since that day they are still catching dust there but if I someday start using them, I'll make sure to post the works, even if they suck, which is obvious
PS: your comments remembered me of what Hiroya Oku (author of the manga Gantz) said; he makes all his cities, cars, buildings, machines... digitally, but he always draws the characters traditionally to give them a warm and living look.
