Poker night illustration: Step 3

July 17th, 2009
Step three is adding color areas and adding detail to faces and hands. There's a few weird color bits happening still, but I'm planning on fixing that.

Poker night illustration: Step 2

July 17th, 2009
Here we have step two of the Poker Night illustration. Well, closer to a step three, because step two was to apply a wash of brownish color over the entire sketch to give me a neutral starting point. I then went in and painted the darks in. Here I started painting the lighter values and skin tones, which look fine in person but scan as a bright yellowy color.

I'll be adjusting that as the painting progresses.

    gabe’s stand-in cartoon of the day

    two cats walk into a bar. sitting at the next barstool is a dog who has just had an encounter with a skunk. one cat asks, “what’s that funny smell?” the other cat says, “can’t be the dog. dogs aren’t funny.”

  3. bk katz Says:

    hello, earth people. just a note that “i want some coffee,” the highly celebrated winner of the international gabriel utasi coffee contest and scone bar, has changed locations. smellydog site on youtube shut down after it was besieged by internet marketing scam looking to tie cat puppets with ponzi schemes. new site is below.

    http://www.youtube.com/garbanzosmith

    and a reminder to the venerable mr. utasi that we miss him here a lot and hope he gets his sorry ass back into gear toot sweet.

    yes, i just enjoy typing “toot sweet.”

  4. not Arantxa Sánchez Vicario Says:

    in the spirit of the new “garfield without garfield” comics, in which the principal character is removed and high hilarity ensues, i present “utasi without utasi.”

    ok, i’m still working on the concept.
