Mixing Up Illustration: Combining Analog And Digital Techniques Advertisement In the digital age, don’t forget to use your digits! Your hands are the original digital devices— Lynda Barry People often ask how I arrived at a finished illustration. Honestly, it’s different every time, but it always starts with a hand-drawn sketch. Sometimes, I paint it completely by hand; sometimes I’ll scan in a pencil drawing. Sketching It Out Concepting for me always starts with pencil and paper. Researching This is the most underestimated part of the process, but one of the most important. Some artists who always inspire me are Mary Blair, Alice Provensen, Charley Harper, Maurice Noble and Eyvind Earle. Also, if I’m drawing an elephant’s skin, or wood on a camera, or a band on a helmet, I’ll want to take a close look at the real thing. Crafting Your Own Brushes I do this because I want my brushes to be my own. Some rough crosshatching for the elephant’s skin, with an oil pastel on drawing paper. Scanning It All In Here is a scan of my original sketch. Other Resources

After Effects Tutorial | Animate an indie graphic novel The Art of Pho is a motion comic based on the graphic novel by Julian Hanshaw. You can buy a copy of the book, published by Random House, on Amazon and watch the movie in eight episodes on artofpho.submarinechannel.com. If you're short on time, watch the trailer below. Like all the best comics, The Art of Pho combines off-kilter characters – such as the hero Little Blue, who as well as being blue is somewhere between a pig and a dog in looks – with an unvarnished view of the world steeped in both hope and pathos (something we’ve seen a lot of recently in indie comics from the likes of Luke Pearson and Tom Gault). The plot involves Little Blue, who boasts a childlike innocence and charm, travelling to Ho Chi Min City (aka Saigon) in Vietnam. Produced by Dutch collective Submarine Channel, The Art of Pho was directed by illustrator and animator Lois van Baarle.

After seeing this picture on my Flickr page, I received an e-mail from Marco who asked me about the post process of this image.

3 Fantastic Uses of the Photoshop High Pass Filter Photoshop CS's high pass filter is very versatile. There are three ways you can put it to use. One, it's a great sharpening tool. Two, contradictory as it sounds, you can use it to soften portraits and other photos. Three, you can use it to create a high contrast portrait effect. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to do all three. Step 1. This is the image that I want to sharpen. Sharpening is always the last step in post-processing. Right click on the Background layer and choose Duplicate layer. Go to Filter > Other > High Pass... Set the Radius. Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation... and set the Saturation to zero. Change the Blending Mode to Overlay. Here you can see the difference after sharpening. Step 2. The high pass filter isn't just for sharpening - it can be used to soften skin tones as well. This is a technique that's good for softening the skin in your portraits. This is our starting portrait. Go to Filter > Other > High Pass... and set the radius to around 15. Step 3.
