Description Working on a fun little project, I've got a bunch of lil TF headshots and had the idea to make them look a bit child-like, like a colouring book or something. I created a crayon brush in photoshop and it's working pretty well! It looks like a crayon at least I think

Anyways, here are some of my experiments (don't mind the doodles, my childhood was calling me back :


#0 my plain pencils
#1 my usual lilformers style mostly, except that the lineart is not inked
#2 tried to duplicate cuts from #1 with my crayon brush, interesting
#3 used the crayon asa mask over the cuts from #1, not really working out, the sharp edges stick out
#4 used regular flats, then did my cuts with the crayon...hmm, kinda liking this. i may continue along this line.


Any comments or suggestions on my style in progress are welcome

I'm stuck between 4 and 1. 1 just because that's what I'm used to from you but 4 has neat, unfinished shading (like teh shadows). You're probably done experimenting by now but I'd use both of them. And I love the glow effect on his eyes. That always distracts me when I'm reading the pages. XD.

you should print out #0 and color it with real crayons!

I love the little Prime and Bumblebee doodles!

Hmmm, I'm not sure if it looks exactly like crayon, maybe more like marker?
I'd say #2 has a pencil crayon look to it, and #3 is more of a marker look.

agree with *operative274 on #4 being used in flashback sequences.

I like! - the fourth panel kinda looks as if you were telling a story in 'flashback' Details are there but just 'grainy' (???) enough to be different.

I would note that children never color in parallel lines.

Savvy?
