THANK YOU for the bit about precut mats. As someone who works in a framing department, it's annoying the amount of times people come in with an 11x15 print and want to know why it doesn't fit into a standard 11x14 frame.

Thanks for the tutorial! This is a very interesting technique. Did you learn it somewhere or is this technique something you figured out on your own?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope, cooked it up on my own, which is why I wrote the tutorial. *grin*

A VERNON tutorial? What's this world coming to??

The words GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY comes to mind when I looked at this tutorial! Man, this is sweet and I love the process steps and how you've broken them up. Tell me though, I loved the brilliant orange/umber colors in the background in the first few steps and then they kinda' got lost in the last few steps. Is this just because as you went along your scanner started picking up more colors thereby lessening the intensity of the piece or was there really a dulling of the background due to more scribblfying on your part? Just wondering. THANK YOU FOR THE TUT.
I am definitely going to have to try this technique. I've got some watercolor and oils that are just dying to be used. Goodbye digital, hello traditional!
OH! I almost forgot, where can I find a Sir Jr. Mc-Trace-A-Lot?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a little from column A, a little from column B. The scanner tends to burn things to a kind of saturated red if left to its own devices, so the colors aren't quite true initially. Of course, you could probably achieve that color easily enough--red earth and burnt umber acrylic ink are really intense shades, so if you wanted it, I suspect it's achievably in real life.
And any craft store should have some version of the Sir Jr. Mc-Trace-A-Lot thing somewhere...

Thank you for the info. I've been doing some murals recently and using this ancient bohemoth projector from circa 1955 that a friend found at a university auction some years ago. It's great and has a really intense bulb, I think some ungodly wattage of 400 or something, but the thing is so heavy and unwieldly to cart around that I'm looking to upgrade...or downgrade depending on how you look at it. I'll be sure to find a Sir Jr. Mc-Trace-A-Lot or similar. If the Sir. Jr. Mc-Trace-A-Lot does not really exist I am going to come up with a fake ad illustration for it just because it sounds so goofy and fun!

Thanks, and wow i was about to ask the same thing. all the internet places i've found with the opage projectors are 30 bucks or more.

Wow, ursulav trade secrets- awesome. If I had the time, patience, supplies, and talent, I would really try this out.

What a wonderful little tutorial.
I've learnt more reading this here than I did in daydreaming through 3 years of art classes back in school.
Thank you.

Good gods, I can't believe you had the patience to scan every step like that. Tis what keeps me from every doing tutorials. That, and personal lack of the idea that I'm practiced enough here... O.o
Lovely, though, it's always intriguing to see how artists work.

So here it comes: I LOVE YOU!

I'd suggest at least laying out for a coupla PITT pens and the white acrylic ink if at all possible--they're not all that expensive, and it's very much worth it. As for the colorpencils--well, the problem is that if you wash over the top, you'll lose your scribble! But it might be doable, if you're careful and very very sparing with the water.

well id might try when my next salery is in, after all im only a broke student :/ but anyways, it sound good, and id love to try it

That was a really well done tutorial! Very entertaining and informative...
Man... if I wasn't so tired I'd crack out my sktechbook right now and practice making layers of scribbles. You've got me itchin to scribble everywhere!
I guess that is good? Ah well, lets just say it is. Kudos!!

Thanks for the tutorial! I've been thinking about different ways for using coloured pencils and coloured ink in my drawings, and this tutorial really helped a lot. It's always wonderful when a truly great artist takes the time to go over her techniques and tricks to help us who aren't quite there yet.

oh my goodness that was one of the best tutorials i've read to date. your art often leaves me mystified and it's nice to feel like i vaguely understand a teensy bit of your genius.

Can I be a big-time nerd and ask what font you used for the headlines, like the "now that that's been said"? It's a really cool technique, too, maybe I'll try it a little bit at some time!

*grin* Sure, that's Komika Display Kaps, part of the handy Komika family, beloved of comic artists everywhere.

Thank you so much! I have some comic fonts but none of them look right...

Well that's that. You've gone and made my day. Really and truly...and tomorrow morning when I wake up? .... I'm gonnae try my hand at this technique... just beacuse I love your art. ... I love your art and the concepts that go with it...

Wonderful to see a tutorial from you, it looks excellent on the first read through... I especially like your realistic tips for materials--I know I've saved a lot of time by specifically printing things to fit in 8x10 pre-cut mats, while all my friends were whimpering as they picked which part of their 8.5x11s to hide.

this has been a real help... thanks!
But if you have the time to awnser this then please do?
"What type of pencil do you use for sketching?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Plain 'ol mechanical, most of the time. If I'm doing a piece entirely in pencil, I'll drag out all the shiny 6B and 2H and ebony and whatnot, but for the sketch, I just use a mechanical.

oh awesome 
π: 0 β©: 0
ahahaha! I have identified the tracer you used :3
Aside from this I've got to say you make it look easy, I will have to give it a go.

I don't paint. But this tutuorial is very informative. Who knows? I may decided to try this, bearing in mind your recommendations for cheapness. Scribbles are fun though. They work well with colored pencil and pen and ink as well and make a nice texture for cartoony pen and ink rocks.

That is one fantastic tutorial
Thankyou!
Oh, and I love the bird! I know thats a silly thing to like about a tutorial as good as this, but I never claimed to be sensible, or even sane...
rambling... must... stop...
