Last week I didn’t update because I
didn’t really have anything new to show. I got a new Wacom tablet and spent
some time getting used to it. I drew some pictures for possible backgrounds and
there really wasn’t a lot to say. This week is really similar. Except I spent
about three days coloring my scanned artwork.
Most of
my previous weeks have been about me problem solving these past two week have
been about painting. I guess the good news is that I have finally made it to painting!
When I was in college I didn’t really like Wacom tablets. I couldn’t use them as
well as I could a mouse. An illustrator came to my college and demoed his
process and basically said ‘you can paint with a mouse if you like but it is
like painting with a bar of soap’.
For
this piece that I have been working on for the past few days, all of the landscape
was done with my new tablet. The buildings were inked with the tablet but the
coloring was done with a mouse. The tablet just was not precise enough for the
geometric shapes. The organic shapes of the landscape the tablet works great.
Inking the drawing the tablet was also great but shading the buildings not as
good as a bar of soap. I don’t know maybe some of my art friends can give me
some proper tips on why a bar of soap is subpar in this situation.
Tower.
TOE is an acronym for the title of my game. At the moment I’m keeping it a
secret. The T in TOE is for Tower for reasons I think are rather obvious
reflected below.
