08/29/06 - Digital - Sketchbook Pro 2

Digital piece from this August. Really just some small pencil sketches from my imagination that I colored. All done with Wacom Intuous 3 tablet and Alias/Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 2. I start with a 2B pencil for the sketch. Then create a new layer - swap the order - and start coloring flats with the wide brush. This is a really neat aspect of SKB2 - you can go right to coloring without worrying about layer blending mode - it just anticipates that is what you will be doing. There really aren't that many tutorials available for this program, perhaps because of it's simplicity? But the Autodesk site has some if you become a member (lower level membership is free!).

Look for SKB2 native source file here (.tiff) PS: this won't work in any program although it looks like a common tiff file!!
