Weekly news 2018-07-16:"Inking" of episode 26 is done! (screenshots)
🕑 Added 2018-07-16 16:26:51 +0000 UTC Hi Patrons! Last week, I made good progress into the production of episode 26. All pages reached a black&white milestone: pure black&white character over simplified gray-scale background.
After around 50h of practice, I started to get used to the "painted line-art" rendering and brush preset. I feel less pressure to "paint my line-art", but at the end, it looks really like a normal black and white line-art. Maybe I had too much pressure of doing clean lines on my previous line-art attempt? Now I'm using a more brushy and more rough brush preset, I focus more on the drawing itself than on the rendering. That's maybe a reason why I find this approach easier and I also find the rendering more appealing than on my previous line-art...
I'm using the brush f)_Bristles-2-Flat_Rough from Krita4 default for it on the Intuos4 A3 XXL. I continued to tweak the setting for the pressure/size curve and I'll share the derivative one I made very soon.
The next step in the production will be to add modeling in grayscale over all characters (as I did on page one, see visual under) It's a good pass to check if my volumes, expression and designs are working when being "non flat". I'm trying to keep brush strokes visible on this shading, and not smooth any area.
Then I'll convert all to color with layer blending modes and keep the background painterly.
Here are more screenshot about what I did this week, and more view about the dungeon Pepper visit in episode 26:
