Visual Exhibition: Friday 25th November 2016.
Another sneak peak at the images for the upcoming exhibition.

This is a pencil stage. I arranged the composition in Photoshop and printed it very lightly and drew over it with pencil. I then used a light box (actually my old animation disk and a strip light) to trace it onto better paper. The finished image will be on display in the exhibition.

I will post the images after the exhibition has finished.

[Healy Weekend] - New Heroes - rough drawing stage

The first stage (after thumbnailing) of an image I'm working on for the upcoming exhibition. I found working directly on paper too slow and caused problems that were too difficult to fix.
For this one I planned it out in Photoshop and then printed (and later transferred it again to better paper) to be inked properly with pens. A very convoluted way to produce these images, which is taking me longer to produce.
The whole thing is reminding me why I prefer working directly into Photoshop. I use to do it this way when preparing an image to be scanned.

The finished image might not appear in the exhibition. I will see how that goes. I might tease with more of these rough images in the run up to the exhibition. I will post the finished work after the exhibition has ended.
