We've got a brand new tutorial up, and dperceful shows us his last methods for quickly and easily cleaning up grainy and dusty images. Great stuff!

dperceful's first tutorial has also been fixed and is back up.

Check back next Tuesday when Ed Hopkins shows us how to manip one of the most difficult characters there is: Poison Ivy!

everyone will be glad to know my next tutorial does not involve any skin clean up whatsoever. i imagine everyone was or is pretty tired of skin cleanup.

thanks again to essex and juvenilemike for posting the work in various places.

dperceful

can't wait to see the ed hopkins poison ivy tutorial.

Hey Dperceful, thanks for the effort! Lots of useful tips. Rachel Leigh Cook looks hot. Have you ever considered that perhaps Christian Bale's eyes might not match any way? Just like how some people's lips appear to be out of sync with their voices on some tv shows. But you never know whether maybe they aren't in sync in real life! http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

Oh, and I thought these were coming out every Wednesday, but it's still Tuesday night here (and Tuesday afternoon if you're in the States). Has it moved up a day?

Welshy: No no, hasn't moved up. It will always be on Tuesday, just as all updates take place at night (EST), but count as the update for the following day. The tutorial was only posted during the afternoon because I worked late tonight and didn't want to do the tutorial when I got home, which would take longer than a regular update.

Mike: I can't speak for Robbo, but I certainly don't mind. The tutorials aren't here to gather hits; they're here to help out other artists. They do the same thing on your site http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

Essex,

since i know your lurking about today, has anyone else whipped up some art school update stuff other than Ed and I? just wondering, i almost have my power signature and hair tutorials done...just need to type 'em up. it just gives me an idea if i need to get busy with scripting it out or i can take my time.

So far it's been only you and Ed who have submitted tutorials. Ed's first has gone up tonight and he has another which will be posted next week. If you can have another done to go up after that, it'd be great http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif Thanks.

Everyone be sure to check out Ed's tutorial on creating foliage and patterns in general! Very informative!!

Also, check back next week when Ed walks us through the process of digitally colouring a pencil drawing.

cool. i'm pretty much finished with digital hair. the power signature thing is coming together i'm just coming up with more examples of things to do with it. the cuts and bruises tutorial is getting there....i lost my stitches pic so i'm having to dig it up, after that it's just typing.

really great tutorial by Mr. Hopkins. a great way to introduce everyone into patterns. really gives great insight into your poison ivy manip. good job, great tutorial.

Great foilage tutorial today. I wouldn't have minded seeing how you placed it all over Poison Ivy rather than seeing how you make a jungle. It's one thing amassing all these leaves together, but quite another shaping it into a costume of sorts.

Another tutorial I would like to see is a guitar tutorial, if anyone cares to write one. Just some basic guitar technique and perhaps how to tie the knot on nylon strings near the bridge when changing strings. If anyone plays the guitar, maybe that could go up one Wednesday.

Thanks, Welshcat.
To make the Ivy costume I took the jungle and overlayed it onto her body. I made use of the spherize filter to shape it a little (I'll let you guess where). I also used burn and dodge to add shadows and highlights.

Today's tutorial, while good for a small pinup or just a small sized character, would be impractical for anything larger or more detailed. Layers aren't usually used for computer coloring. Channels are commonly used to save lots of time and memory size.

Also, when coloring for print, you would want to color in CMYK, tho I'm sure many of you don't want that, so RGB is fine.

Overall, a great and handy tutorial

I have used a couple of similar methods to this in the colored images I have submitted here. In addition to using flat blocks of colors, you can also experiment with using colorized textures to give added depth to the proceedings.

i think it's a great tutorial.

i love the insight that marrow and local have given.....love to see a tutorial from local on digital coloring. the psp fans would love it as well.

great job Ed, really great tutorial....quick and simple stuff here, it's cool to think you got a very decent piece of work in about 10 steps. nice job again....think i'll try this technique on a juggernaut image i was coloring.

essex,

if your lurking around today did you get my latest art school tutorial?

you can respond in the forums or email.

i just like double checking. also has anyone else come up with some tutorials? if not i have some art school request from some of my favorite artists.

i would love to see a tutorial from welshcat on how to get that beautiful looking iron man metal.

again, i would love to see a digital coloring tut from localhero.

maybe a part 2 on how to marrow-nize an image.

i don't know what, but something from darth zaiyen...you helped me elevate my work on a few pieces, any input you could give artists would be welcome.

the same with milleniumbum.....i don't think i've ever seen anything less than a 10 from you.

a poser tutorial from lady d perhaps.

there's so many more artists that i could call out, but that would take me a long time, kev_incal, wwg, essex, all of you guys/gals are great....your the reasons i started manipping so i guess i can blame/thank you all at once.

yeah we can push the techniques onto the hints n tips threads, but it's just not as fun and informative as a picture tutorial.

anyway, i've gone on for too long.

Yeah, that might be a little difficult to explain, because I'm not sure how much of it is actually photoshop per se - a lot of it is just knowing how to draw and paint Iron Man and all his armoured supporting cast, which mostly comes from observing how it's drawn/ coloured in the Iron Man comics so that you should be able to achieve that look in any medium, including coloured pencils, crayons or oil paints.

I'd have to really think about that one.

I have noticed that layers aren't usually used for computer coloring. That is why I made this tutorial, because coloring jobs that use only one layer tend to look really bad.

I would love to see a tutorial that shows how to color using channels that is as forgiving and versatile as my method and doesn't require extensive knowlegde of color mixing. Are you up to making one?

Hey folks,

Dperceful's new tutorial on creating hair will be posted early tomorrow, as opposed to tonight. I just got home from work NOW (2:30am, ugh!), so I'm not really in the chipper mood to do it at this time http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif

So look for that tomorrow (late morning), and also the regular update at night.

Thanks!

works on just about any color. i forgot to add in the tutorial that you can create a layered look by doing the same effect on a new layer above the hair. this helps give the hair a non-flat look to it. also helps create those wispy strands.

you can even create pigtails. just use a solid brush to create the base. then use the dodge and burn hair brushes to create the hair strokes.

i wanted to give sam jackson some pippi longstocking hair, but i just ran out of time.

glad everyone enjoys it.

Hey, I just got through looking at the Tutorial. Well that's not entirely true, I got to the second paragraph and then had to try it out. Congrats dude, this is *the* best tutorial I have ever read. I'm blown away by how easy it makes hair. If I could put this on my site I'd really really apprecaite it. Though it might steal the challenge from a lot of people. I've done it in PSP and I'm going to post the details of how in a post following. But just wow! congrats.

08-28-2003, 07:40 PM

Ok here's DP's tutorial in Psp. Or at least the footnotes.

Making a brush:
Create a new 50x50 image. Create a new layer. Set the blend mode on the layer to disolve. Use the paintbrush with step on one, size 40 and opacity 30 or so. Click a couple of times, then tidy.

Merge by Layers>Merge>Merge all. Select all by pressing Ctrl A.

Click on the paintbrush logo with the small triangle next to it on the tools pallete. Select Custom. Click create.

After prepping the image as per Dp, click the paintbrush tool then click the triangle again.Select custom and click the sidebar with the traingle. Scroll to the bottom and there's your brush.

Set step to 1. You can play bt you won't want it above 10.Opacity between 20-40. But feel free to play. Size depends on taste/area.

I'll play with the rest of the tutorial tommorow but right now I've got to sleep, stupid work. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/frown.gif

well since no one else is submitting tutorials i decided to make this a two or three parter. i had acutally intended essex to cut up this tutorial, but no problem, i have techniques for scars, swelling, and other kinda dark art things almost worked up.

the finished pic is not too different than my original marrow pic http://comics2film.com/DCG/DispArt.php3?f_id=12422&f_ssn=

i really didn't see a need to submit something similar twice.

thanks for the compliments on the tutorial. glad some people are getting some use out of them. be warned though, the burn tool only works on images that are normal in color. for example if you tried to take the same method and apply it to an image of wolverine in the x-men movie (the scenes with him fighting in the cage) it won't work. they washed that scene in a blue light and the burn tool just makes things more blue. you would have to color correct the image to apply the effects in that scene.

i've got another tutorial i'm whipping up on doing power effects....it's coming along, just have so many various ways to do the effects and trying to recreate them all is kind of a pain.

thanks again on the remarks.

not sure he just rubs me the wrong way. maybe it's when he tried to kick david letterman in the head, or i just can't get his back to the future like nerdiness out of my head. and where do you get a name like crispin and not be in the bacon business? oh well....i could go on and on.

hey nothing is wrong with liking crispin, i just don't. i hate lots of celebrities, it's my thing.

Not complaining, friend. I was curious, because so many fan-boys love cult favorites like glover. But, everyone's entitled to opinions and all that. (Your opinions may be baseless and flat out wrong, but they're yours and nobody can take them away.)

No tutorial from Dperceful (or anyone else today)? And what's happened to him these days? He hasn't been around these parts recently at all.

that was my last tutorial for a while. last time i talked to essex there were no more tutorials in queue. i've got a power signature tutorial in the works.....just working on creating alot of effects.

as far as where i've been.....i'm taking a break. i'm in an artistic rut and taking a break from uir's and manipping for about a week or two.

that stuff i sent you and darth z, i just couldn't see anything to do with it, even after all of the suggestions. that's when i know i need to take a break and get away from manipping.

i have so many manips that are in various states of completion, so i look to return with lots of stuff.

trust me, even though i don't post....i'm looking at the dcg and the forums everyday to see what's going on.
