Graphic Design β€’ 'Brain Dream' 🎨 Original Art 🎨 Progression from Pencil Sketch to Digital Painting

in graphicdesign β€’Β  7 years agoΒ 

This All Started As A Pencil Sketch - This photo below was the initial sketch in my sketchbook.

Eventually, I came back to the idea and decided to 'digitalize' it. I use a Wacom Intous tablet and have several digital painting programs, so I felt that this concept deserved to come alive.

After changing the orientation of the text and creating a rough concept in a digital form, I decided to change the overall shape a bit - it seemed misshapen to me and did not look right. I condensed the width a bit.

I played with a few color schemes and explored variations. Then I cleaned up some of the line work and made another variation

I added some highlights and shading, then landed with this image above. I would not consider it a 'finished' work, but rather a concept that I enjoyed playing with. It was one of my first digital painting attempts and I learned that it is not a strength of mine πŸ˜†

I like that you shared the process of how you developed this... even helps to know what kind of drawing tablet you used. Thanks for sharing this @grow-pro!

Thanks, @jbgarrison72. Yea, the Intuous 4 is a beast. It's not the newest, greatest tablet - but it can do more than I could ever figure out how to use πŸ˜†

It's strange to get used to drawing this way - pen pressure is, well..digitized and very sensitive. I love to work with mediums of all sorts, but there's nothing like hand created work (ink, pencil, paint).

You've shown your tablet quite a bit of love... that's awesome. Reminds me of my skateboard as a teenager, covered in stickers. :D

Yea man! Sticker-Bomb

Graphic design artist at-heart..what can I say? 🀘😎

Had it a few years and if you only knew the amount of stickers I'v had/created/made/stuck on things they didn't belong....I'd go to jail..lol Joking (maybe). πŸ˜‚

I stickerbomb stuff for my kids - they love! Let me hop on another device and I'll show you my son's balance bike. I'll also drop a sticker bomb freebie phone wallpaper in the next comment. Gimme a few to cruise to a desk πŸ˜‰

Pandora's sticker box just got opened! :D
