Gorgosaurus libratus
I kept forgetting to scan this one, today I remembered. Nothing else new done, regular work is taking up all my time. I've got some layouts done up so when the muse hits I can get some more done.
Hey Brett. I didnt see you in a long time!! Nice gorgosaurus. I have a nother questions. When you paint your draws, you used layers to overpaint the lines of the drawn?
I'm not sure what your asking. I do use layers, but we set up the line art using channels since it uses less space. It's an older technique used when most hard drives only had 500MBs.
I mean when I drawn a dinosaur I made all the details like scars, grinkles and spines. But when I paint, this details dissapear. But thanks for the tip of layers. Thanks again and good luck in your future drawns :).
We copy the line art into an alphachannel in Photoshop and set it to 'spot color.' Once the colors are done, the line art is loaded as a selection and filled with black. You can also set the line art up as a layer, floating over the background, then flatten the image when you are done. The channels technique uses less memory and results in a smaller file.
