Before- After // Sketchbook scans touchups
🕑 Added 2021-10-24 01:01:54 +0000 UTCHey guys!! 💖
How are you doing?
I'm still not drawing much due to my wrist pain and other stuff happening rn, but here's a single silly spread I managed to do this morning after a while, heh
I've been, however, editing and retouching scans of all my traditional art to make new prints :)
Once I finish editing I usually delete the original scans but this time I thought it would be interesting to show you guys a comparison of the before and after ! I always receive many questions of how I edit them and the truth is, I just paint over them with a hard round brush, nothing else. Sometimes I move some parts with the lasso tool and erase some marks or details I don't like, then I just punch the colors up a bit adding more saturation and make the blacks deeper with the selective color tool from Photoshop.
I'll definitely record the process next time I edit a drawing and show you guys how it goes from start to finish, just for extra clarification, if that's something that might interest you! And also because I want to normalize this process more, I received a bunch of messages on Instagram of people saying that they thought doing that was cheating! I couldn't believe it. Mixing traditional and digital mediums is just another technique, as valid as anything else. Giving your traditional drawings a digital glow up is absolutely valid (and quite satisfying) we can do whatever the hell we want with OUR art ✨
Anyways, I'll post more of these in the upcoming weeks!
Talk to you real soon,
Gret
