Thanks :) You're right, I just tried it out. The lines on his shirt look less "out of place" now. Not sure about the face, though. I really iked the high contrast there. Good thing it's easy to change. Like you said, I'll have to see how it goes. Question: Tapered = line fades off/ gets thinner towards the edge? Tethered = those lines with anchors (i.e. like the pen tool)? |
LOL... "tethered" What in the world was I trying to say there? Maybe I was mad because I can't get my "Wifi Tether" working on my new phone. Who knows. I meant 'feathered' (like anti-aliasing)
If you look at the reference work I posted, the linework is not a consistent thickness and is 'feathered' in some areas. That is, it's kinda shaved in some places, and bolder in some areas to add emphasis and draws attention. Versus vector work where if you add a line or "stroke", it is a consistent 3px thick line all around... a thick line can add or detract from the color work. You just have to draw over and see what works better...
What program are you using? Are you using a basic version of PHotoshop or full?
I can try to send you my brushes for linework if you are using the full...
Something like this is a good example of variation of line:
blah blah blah
