Re: Taron's little gallery
THANKS, eheh, yeah, I had the flames without the outlines first and realized that it somehow broke the feeling too much. I thought about animation and figured this way it would live with the characters rather than the background, you know.
The wispy clouds are easiest with fluid-smudge and elevated brush blending, actually. But I go back and forth between smudging and averaging, too. These were really fast and sloppy, but you can get very well defined that same way, too. The real kicker there is mostly that they go with the perspective grid, somehow creating much better depth. It's interesting how well that works, too. The grid then is merely orientation for a feeling, but it makes a heck of a difference!
hah, yes, that's all so much fun, I'm really enjoying to try different styles that way. Curious, though, how much more focus is required for line styles rather than painterly stuff. I also have to finally go back at the brushes. They're still the silly first brushes, essentially, while I had started a new class and have never continued. It should get rather exciting.
Waiting for your new doodles! Oh, and you should consider joining the daily sketch forum on cgtalk.com (cgsociety). It used to be buzzing many years ago and currently it's rather empty.

It's 1280 wide, so you might have to stretch out your window for it.
