B&W Lady

Process

Started with a Sketch

 Added Local Color (Midtone)

 Changed the linework Color to Dark Grey

 Added Shadow & Some Highlights

on a separate Layer

 Refined the line work & added 

more highlights to hair

 Lightened up some of the linework

and added signature ;)

Will Graham and his Dogs- Process

Will Graham and his Dogs

I started with a sketch with the background and 

characters each on separate layers

I refined Will's pose

Here's the sketch showing all layers

I refined all the line work and changed the 

lineart colors

I started painting with a midtone

I used a complimentary color scheme

Flat mid-tones on the characters

Everyone together. I used similar colors

throughout, varying the value

I added cast shadows under characters

 

 I added shadows on another layer

and highlights as well as a texture over the 

background.

 I replaced the paitned BG 

with a gradient and replaced the tree with 

a more antler-type of foliage.

Artemisia 300 Rise of an Empire-Process

I started with a color palette idea 

& did sketch over top a blue texture

Cleaned up the line work

 

I started how I might do an acrylic painting with the darks

on a separate layer, but realized this wasn't going in 

the direction I wanted.

On a layer under the line work I did all the midtones

I added shadows on a  multiplied layer

I added highlights using a charcoal brush with some texture

I added a fog png over top and some BG shadows
