Here is a close to final (hope) version of the Baltimore Lindy Exchange postcard.
Here is the final I did. The client didn’t go with it but I was still happy with how it turned out.
Playing around with the contrast of a pretty dress and some grungy splatters.
I kept some of the original line work to dirty it up so it didn’t look to crisp.
Work in progress.
I’m not really done with coloring but I wanted to post my progress.
I have been on a quest to improve technique in drawing and shading so i figured I’d break down the steps from a chibi artist I like (Endling). I’m not saying this is the way he does it but it seems like a quick valid process.
Trying to work in some better digital painting blending techniques. Going for a chibi, pin-up, manga style.
