I
don't use inks at any level of the work. I sketch things out in pencil
then scan it to the computer. The scanned image is then retraced via
path strokes until I have a clean line art on a separate layer. That
usually take about a day or so.
I
then start coloring on several other layers, first doing flat colors.
Then preserving the 'transparency' of the layers, I start to tone the
flats. Using the airbrush tools with a Wacom tablet, I bring out the
images.
I
don't picture the finished look in my mind. I just apply the colors
and techniques and let the final look be determined on it's own. When
the image looks finished then I stop and move to the next one.
Visualizing a finished look is just a quick path to disappointment.
Usually, after a few days I look at the finished image again. By this
time, my eyes have readjusted, I can see the flaws and start weeding
those out. Of course, nothing is without flaw and nothing is ever or
will ever be perfect.
In
closing, I'd like to thank Nuria for this opportunity to launch this
new website of mine, promoting both myself and my works, as well as to
all you guys who have enjoyed my work and supported me on whatever
direction my art went.
