So personally, I think it is a valuable "tool".<br /><br />That being said, good to see the Body Bags art. So miss that series/book.<br /><br />Jason P. having fun. Love the B/W version of this picture. And not trying to be critical, but I think the large volume of red overwhelms me on the last version.<br /><br />Still gorgeous though.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01514271619557728423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36200623.post-32558017153766944612011-05-09T12:35:02.377-07:002011-05-09T12:35:02.377-07:00I'd have to agree with you, Mike.

Proportions are pushed in such a fun way...and the guns look so...normal.<br />Besides, you've spent so much time training the ol' eyeballs to do it by hand, it'd be a shame to start using a program to do it for you.<br />Still, nice work as usual.Patrick Hooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04969763515481752664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36200623.post-62399077098068495352011-05-07T20:20:44.980-07:002011-05-07T20:20:44.980-07:00Yeah, I think you still do have to ink it by hand....Yeah, I think you still do have to ink it by hand. It makes it work, at least a little. <br /><br />Glad it works, but I'm thinking I'll still go back to drawing it by hand using ref. <br /><br />Best,<br />MikeMike Hawthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320163942600132518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36200623.post-25929191014195428642011-05-07T02:47:30.057-07:002011-05-07T02:47:30.057-07:00Good to see you actually traced the 3D model thoug...Good to see you actually traced the 3D model though. The thing that some people do is just drop the model into the finished drawing (I am guilty of sometimes doing this). Like you said, it can look pretty dead, and out of place, even more so if the lines are all exactly the same weight (and differ to the actual drawing). But props to the ones who pull it off. I hadn't noticed on your drawing until you mentioned it, even then the tracing hid it pretty well. Nice piece.eye-melthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878863811290046627noreply@blogger.com
