Description This was 's request for getting pageview 30,000 and he was quite nice about waiting until I had gotten the calendar and other things done before I started it. Actually, I did the watercolor pencil work while I was up north, but I wanted to wait until I had my tablet back to paint

So at any rate, 'classic' Jean Grey of the X-Men.

Media: Watercolor pencil drawing and wash, painting done in Photoshop 6.0

The character of Jean Grey is copyright Marvel.

wow, you did the painting for this in Photoshop? it looks like watercolor. great job!

GoblinQueeen In reply to bizarro4 [2005-01-16 11:24:32 +0000 UTC]

It's a style I've been playing with. Like I said, I do a light wash with water over the watercolor pencil so it gets a bit of shadowing and a bit of that watercolor 'bleed', then paint with a wet edge brush at a low opacity, around 30% or so.

wow, it's a great look, thanks for sharing your techniques! i've never used the wet edge brush, there's so much about photoshop that i still don't know!

GoblinQueeen In reply to kid-frock [2005-01-15 07:48:04 +0000 UTC]

gosh, I wish I knew I start with just the basic gesture of where I want the main masses to fall and then fill in some layers and shadowing. Kind of a zen 'go with your instinct' thing

kid-frock In reply to GoblinQueeen [2005-01-15 19:54:52 +0000 UTC]

but i'll try it anyways.
