On color or B W?

Postby ~Natsumi Lam~ » Sun Sep 11, 2005 7:01 pm

Do you like drawing in color, Black and White, or digitally?

What do you use to color ... if you do?



--> Prefer B and W. I use .5 pencil, ultra fine sharpie, thick sharpie. Also i am ordering Micron pens. Micron has a .005 tip for some.

--> Color i use high quality markers... ie sharpie color selection, micron color selection, and others.

-->Digital: Corel Painter 8.0 , photoshop. Learning this... i am practicing so when i do web developing on my summers off of teaching i can do something i love!

I never use traditional coloring techniques since I don't make the time and don't have the resources for them. Some pens are pretty expensive.

I digitally color whenever I can. I could use more practice.

I do more B/W since I'm focused on mangakaing. I pretty much use any ink pens I can get my hands on. I used to utilize mechanical pencils but my left hand kept smudging. (>.<)

I usually do pencils. My weapon of choice is the mechanical pencil. I also like drawing with sharpies. For color I usually do colored pencil or watercolor pencils.

I like black and white - because I have black ink, and I have white paper, and it looks cool.

I usually draw in pencil and outline in a felt tip pen. I don't color. It leaves more to the imagination, plus I'm bad at coloring :)

But the few times I have colored, I used coloring pencils. Nothing too fancy or expensive.

I usually only draw in plain pencil anymore. I ink stuff occasionally, and sometimes vectorize stuff in Illustrator. Used to use Photoshop a lot, but haven't had the time lately...

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

I use a combination of all 3. I draw in balck and white. I then color wiht crayons (crayola gives the nicest effect) and I digitally add it people like richard nixon.

So there.

Black and white primarily--mechanical and 2h pencils, brush and ink, pens, and paper. Occasional coloring on Photoshop. That way I don't have to worry about screwing up my lineart :P
