Stages

Ester asked about how I did this
image, and I'd been meaning to do
a stages post for a while so...

Had this been planned from the
start, I'd have scanned the pencils
and the inks without the inkwash.

but, I didn't.

This is the original drawing.
Done with pen and inkwash
















Then once I scanned it in to
Photoshop, I added the pattern
to her shirt using a sheet of
oragami paper (desaturated)
on a seperate layer behind
the initial drawing and cut
it to fit.

















Then I added some hand painted
acrylic texture over the top. I liked
this color scheme... but it just wasn't
what I was going for... you can tell me
which one you like better. I can't really
say I like one more than the other. They
both have thier different qualities I enjoy.
















At this point I flattened the image and
played with the hue and saturation levels
until I got the feel I was looking for.
















And there you have it. Nothing really too
complex, just a little Photoshop wizardry...

...nevermind the man behind the curtain.
