Astute Graphics Blog : Vector Halftone Week: introduction to vector halftones
Welcome to Astute Graphics’ Vector Halftone Week! Each day this week, we will be publishing a significant new vector halftone-based blog article allowing you to both explore the possibilities of using vector halftones in your designs as well as providing free material. Today, this article will introduce what both a Halftone and Vector Halftone is, as well as preview what’s coming… What is a Halftone? The need for Halftones arose with printing. Through years of experimentation and fine tuning, printers developed several techniques, but the classic dot-type halftone became the common technology. Key to the art of reproducing artwork using dots is the ability to display a range of colors. To illustrate this, the image shown right is an original photo that we want to reproduce as a halftone. The diagram, left, shows how the 4 separation plates are stacked on top of each other to produce the final composite image. So, what is a “Vector Halftone”? Expanding on the possibilities References

Making of 'Superbad' by Mike Thompson
Introduction My painting of Michael Cera, titled "SuperBad", was actually created as part of a pitch for his new movie, Youth Revolt. The client wanted to persuade the studio to use an illustrated poster for this film, rather than the usual photographed one sheet. The direction I was given was to keep the art vibrant and make sure that Cera looked as nerdy as possible. This is the original mock up that the client sent in their brief (Fig.01). Fig. 01 Walk-Through Using photos included in the brief as reference, I began my drawing (Fig.02 - 03). Fig. 02 Fig. 03 After I got the general likeness in his face, I moved onto drawing the rest of his body. In Photoshop, I created a document that was 100% of the presentation size at 200 dpi. I opened my scanned line drawing in a separate document, then copied and pasted it onto a new layer, above the background colour. A third layer was then created and placed between the background and line layers. Fig. 07 Fig. 08 Fig. 09 Now for the fun part! Fig. 10

Tutorial photoshop: retrato estilo lápiz o bolígrafo bic
Esta es una técnica sencilla pero que aporta grandes resultados si la trabajamos convenientemente. Gran parte del proceso es similar a aplicar sombreado a un dibujo real, por lo que el trabajo sobre las áreas de sombra y la dedicación al degradado de las mismas darán muy buenos resultados si lo hacemos con paciencia. Partiremos de una fotografía la cual desaturaremos para posteriormente aplicarle una capa de ajuste de niveles. Con este primer ajuste queremos sacar las altas luces de la fotografía de tal manera que consigamos un buen contraste entre los medios tonos y las partes más iluminadas. Hay que tener en cuenta que estas zonas no van a ser tratadas con la tinta, por lo que es importante dejarlas lo más contrastadas posible. Si observamos que nuestra fotografía queda muy quemada, añadiremos una mascara de capa para recuperar las zonas que no queramos sobre-exponer. Una vez que tenemos nuestros grupos hechos pasaremos a enmascarar todo el trabajo.

Wonder Woman Pin Up Tutorial In this Photoshop tutorial I will show how I used Photoshop and a Wacom Tablet to create a digital illustration of a voluptuous Wonder Woman pin up. The tutorial reveals one of my digital painting techniques with a step by step walk through including images for each stage and layer settings. Enjoy! Introduction: Wonder Woman is an iconic figure in the comic book world. Step 1 : Sketch This is where your knowledge of anatomy and the human form come into play. Photoshop Technique: I created a new image. . Tip: While sketching, flip your drawing horizontally once in a while. Step 2: Line Art The goal of this step is to obtain a pretty good line art drawing. Photoshop Technique: I added a new empty layer above the “sketch” layer and named it “line art”. Tip: At this stage is very useful to zoom in closer, at least 200%. Step 3: Flats Flatting is a technique borrowed from the comic book industry. Step 4: Chiaroscuro (light and dark) Some areas needed highlights also.
Tutoriel: Digital Painting
Voilà le premier tutoriel du blog, rédigé par moi-même qui plus est… Je vais tâcher de vous expliquer pas à pas le processus que j’ai utilisé pour arriver à ce résultat. Bien entendu, ce n’est qu’une méthode parmi d’autres pour réaliser un digital painting mais au vu du résultat attendu, j’ai jugé que c’était la plus adaptée. Etape 1: Me sentant plus à l’aise au crayon , j’ai tout d’abord dessiner mon croquis sur papier. Etape 2 : Une fois que je suis satisfait de mon croquis, je le scanne en 300 dpi et je commence mon travail sur Photoshop muni de ma tablette graphique. Etape 3 : Sur le calque sous le celui du croquis, on va donc établir le fond, voyant l’image sombre, je suis parti sur un fond sombre mettant plus en valeur le personnage. Etape 4 : Sûrement la plus importante après celle du croquis, cette étape est décisive pour le rendu du personnage. Etape 5 : Maintenant que mon digital painting en noir et blanc me convient, je passe à la colorisation. Etape 6 :
