Thank you for the part in real time, we can see the real pencil speed, and the precision needed. I habe a question : how can you watercolor after having used the "bleed proof white", doesn't it let a granular thickness ? 😊
Yeah, thanks for the suggestion to do more real time segments. As far as the use of bleed proof white goes, it’s a little tricky. I mention it in the video but probably not clear enough😅, that regular watercolor over bleed proof white doesn’t really work, it just beads up or picks up the opaque paint, but GOUACHE, which is also water based is opaque and a similar medium to the bleed proof white is what I use to go over it. It’s not a perfect system but I like that that I can mix it with watercolor and also use it to dull out some ink lines and stray pencil lines. James gurney has a bunch of videos on his channel about mixing watercolors and gouache that explain it much better than I can. I also do a little bit of photoshop correction/clean-up with the stamp tool to get it all print ready to my satisfaction. Cheers.
@@FarelDalrymple thank you for your answer; no, I don't understand everything you say in the videos because I can't speak english well enough, but there, I understood what you wrote : gouache in the answer. Thank you very much! Same thing for the name James ..., I wasn't able to write and find "gurney". :)
Your process videos are invaluable to me. Thank you very much! By the way, here in Europe, 11" x 17" would be similar in size to A3. Judging from you video, it looks like your currently at an A4 size (per page), which is similar to US letter size, if I'm not mistaken.
Thank you for the good word! And big time thanks for catching that 😬 mistake. I have been ignorantly saying that incorrectly for years, and I appreciate the heads up. I’ll have to mention it in the next video.
I have been working on my own graphic novel for the past few. Years your work makes me a little bit jealous. Just kidding, I actually find it pretty encouraging. I'm curious to know what's your preferred way to publish a Graphic novel.
Thank you. I know you said you were joking, but it struck a cord with me. It got me thinking that sometimes I look at the way someone else does something and think that I am doing everything wrong and wish I could make my art look slicker, more professional, or do it faster or “better”. I have to remind myself to try to glean what I can from other and still enjoy my own process. As far as publishing goes I’m in a weird spot right now. When I started first publishing in 1999 I met an editor at DARK HORSE comics that put out my first real “book” POP GUN WAR. Ever since then I have jumped around to different publishers, never made much of any money but tried to retain full creative control. A few years ago I brought all my books over to IMAGE comics and was pretty stoked to be working with a publisher founded by artists! Just last year IMAGE AND FIRST SECOND (publisher of THE WRENCHIES) dropped my books from their catalogs due to what I suppose is lack of sales and to make room in their warehouses. 😢. It’s been a little humbling but I’ve done a little bit of crowd sourcing for some smaller books and it seems like that is the way to go for me from now on. I’m working with a local comic book store/publisher FLOATING WORLD COMICS to help publish and distro my books and using crowdfundr (they are sort of similar to Kickstarter) to fund the printing costs. This year I want to start doing nice hardcover library editions of my catalog through crowdfundr.
I think you're right, Having the skill to create your own world characters and story is the real satisfaction. I like your illustrating. It's not only. Is a great story with likable characters. It's real art as well. I've been sketching my whole life. I learned how to paint a little with the Acrylic.When I was younger, I'm still pretty new to water colors. But in my opinion, there's no better way. To illustrate a graphic Novel. I like watching your videos. It's hard to find Stuff.. like this on TH-cam.
