Hiring a Digital Colourist
HI gang, I am trucking along on my book (A Cartoon Biography of Samuel de Champlain, the Father of New France and Canada) but have been thinking a lot about the colouring process. I don't have a tablet, so i do all the art by hand. I hope to be done drawing it with about a year - its a part time pro...

Art book for Ice Age Series?
Hi folks, I have started collecting computer animated film artbooks (pixar kungfu panda, etc.) and the VISA people have been very happy as a result, but the one i am really looking for is an artbook for any of the Ice Age movies. I like the character design and drawing styles, and would like to see ...

Desert Island Challenge: What 3 Illustration Books to Bring?
I am looking to get some new books to inspire me, and have no idea where to begin- there are just so many, but not very many locally. So, I thought we could all have some fun with this, by getting peoples best choices from their own collections: Rules: 1) You get to pick 3 illustration books (Artboo...

Bone: What am I not getting?
I got the whole set via scholastic as a lot of my grade 7-8 students (and 5-6 ones too) seem to love it. I love graphic novels, and fantasy (in another life, i was a fantasy fiction (dragonlance) writer, before i started back into drawing). Why can't I get through this series- I am stuck in the firs...

Action Poses Needing Critiquing
I have been working a lot on action poses, and would like some feedback. The character is Samuel de Champlain, the main character of my book and a well-known figure from Canadian History. 1. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3256/3103414577_fc90f922d1_m.jpg 2. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3181/310341...

Dynamic Poses/Action Poses Book? Help!
Hey folks, Can anyone recommend a good sourcebook on poses for action scenes (running, jumping, swordfighting, punching, kicking etc.)? My project is historical, but I want to play up the action to make it interesting to students. A technical title, or even a comic/GN/manga that does it well and I c...

Johns Illustration thread- Updated and hungry for feedback!
This, to be honest, my first shot at an actual comic page. It is for my cartoon biography of Samuel de Champlain- the greatest explorer in North American history and the founder of New France, Quebec and ultimately Canada. normally I would have drawn images separately, then assembled them in Quark. ...

Photoshop elements vs. full version
Which one is more commonly used by folks around here? Do I need a full version if i am doing mainly colouring/drawing?
Is there a big difference in learning, or is it mainly the price that sets them apart?
Thanks,
john

RIP Carlos Meglia
Just heard about this- he was a phenomenally talented illustrator. Taken at the young age of 50- and his style was such that you wouldn't have guessed his age by looking at it. Heres a sample: http://michaelmay.us/07blog/images/1228_canari.jpg He is known for: - Superman and Tarzan: Sons of the Jung...

Illustration (Picture now in post!) Thoughts?
Hi gang, I did this for a friend (her sons birthday): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3106/2779646519_5d914acf9e.jpg I am reasonably happy with the picture, except for a few things: 1- the monkey doesn't look like its moving 2- the colouring sucks- its too washed out etc. but it is watercolours, i ha...
