traced it in gimp using a 3 pixel hard pencil tool
surprisingly difficult as I'm using a shitty tablet I found in the thrift shop. have to rotate the image to draw all "straight" lines horizontally. can't draw vertically and remain even remotely straight.
Don't quite know where I'm going with this. I'd like to start incorporating color, but everything I do looks shitty
still, learning gimp is interesting.

Attached is the original. Just some craftsman I pulled off the web.
The drawing is my attempt to do the same in kitra, with their soft pencil (4b) tool.
I fucked it up in some ways. I was rotating the actual image as I went (rather than just the view with the 4,6 keys) so the line quality got all fucked up as I went.Learned that.
Apart from that I really like it. Cheating some but fuck it I'm no artist.

I think the best solution is to take a Kitra drawing and print it out to watercolor paper and paint in real life.
No.933
>>931You should check out some of the krita tutorials, they have a water color brush that you can adjust the transparency of, some of the stuff I've seen people do makes me a bit envious, wish I had gotten into drawing way earlier.
I think that with a combo of the watercolors, adjusting the transparency and playing around with the blend tool you'll be able to get something like that. You're certainly a far better hand than I am when it comes to shading so I'm not going to hazard any advice in that section.
One the other hand though, a physical watercolor is pretty cool to have, especially if it's your own, so don't let me stop you from doing that either anon.
No.934
>>929Okay I'll stop spamming this thread. Just enjoying this.
Thanks to the anon that suggested Kitra. It crashes from time to time but it's very good.
There are some attempts to do "watercolor" in kitra.
In all cases I added a new layer beneath the "pencil" drawing above, and set the pencil layer to combine via "multiply" since it had no alpha.
the first image was just done with the trackpad.
2nd and 3rd were done with may wacom 3c (I think) using the water-C basic round grain brush, which I think is pretty good.
Just picked some arbitrary colors. Not bad. Will experiment some more tonight.

I used some selection masks for dark areas and the edges came out pretty shitty. Maybe my mask settings are not right (need "soft" or something?)

No.1037
>>1035what the hell here's a redo of the gahoole tux above. still very basic.
The key here was resizing the original image so the """drawing""" is a higher resolution. I did it 2x original size.
The pencil tool I'm using (Krita pencil-1-hard is pretty good for lines, but the one I'm using for tones (pencil-5-tilted) is garbage. You see the same pattern showing up in the dark areas. Looks very artificial.

Here's an image of a Dodge Charger (1969) that I plan on putting in some form into that gahoole image above. In the trace of it I only added basic tones and did a pretty sloppy job of it but that's fine.
I'm getting a good idea of how to work that properly. I imagine you should mask off each section you're doing tones for (or painting) and work off that.
if I can get back to this tomorrow or sunday I might try to do that sexy lady's ass and a cityscape background too.

No.1059
>>1043>>1045I took your basic layout and put this together. Didn't try to cut out the images carefully as I'm just looking for a guide for "painting".
So I'm using Krita, and using A4 canvas size at 300 pixels/inch. I believe that's correct movie poster aspect, even though A4 is smaller.
The blue guides are taken from a movie poster layout template, as I want to leave room for text.
The background will remain white as I saw that was the case with many old 60s movie posters.
I'm thinking I'd make the full figure gahoole somewhat full color, though maybe stylized some, but the background elements in some kind of monotone color (blue or green tones) just to keep it simple. Will probably look better since my sills are pretty weak.
Rather than a sexy babe I put in flopson as your suggested "villain" is plainly Zach.
I'm not going to put text onto it (people on /tv/ seem to be better than I at that) but I was thinking like:
/tv/ presents
Gahoole IS "The Man from K.I.N.O"
Gahoole as Chad Thundercock
Zachary K Hasbrouk as "The Hapa"
Emma Flopson as Maya Cocksleeve
Produced by Harvey Weinstein
Directed by Christopher Nolan

No.1066
here's the current lineart. the vegas sign is a bit shitty but it's only going to be a few areas of color.
they overlap a bit because each is on a separate layer.
I had to redo most of it because I wanted to make sure I was always using the same tool at the same resolution with the same settings.
In the future it probably will make sense to do work on a standard a4 300 pixels/inch size or something.
>>1065I dunno. I was thinking a real retro lettering like the old James Posters. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post.
I don't think I'll add lettering at all, would rather leave all that to someone else.
Lastly I guess I'm just going to spend some time laying done tones and experimenting with colors and tools. Going to take me a while to determine just how to finish this.

No.1077
>>1066He's my first attempt to paint in gahoole.
Not bad in some ways but it's about as good as I can do currently. Learning a lot though.
Best things I learned was in regard to brushes. There's a brush set out there called "deevad" brushes. I'm typically using "deevad 2f basic flow" for most areas, it's very transparent and allows the smooth effects you can see on the face and suit.
Also using "deevad 2c hair for hair" which is also good.
Just finding those brushes was a boon.
Some bad things:
I'm trying to use masks for each area as I paint but it sometimes leaves gaps between color areas. Also it takes a while to set the masks up. Krita selection tools also tend to make the application crash.
Going to try and work on either flopson or Zach next as they look like they'll be hard to do well. Not sure what I'm going to do.

> like the light touch watercolor effects I can get with brush "water C basic round Grain" but only seems to work with colors that are not vivid (less hue(?) in HSV). That's primarily why I'm going with monochrome for the bg. When I know more about colors maybe i could take a stab at doing a more colorful bg.I really wanted to do more a sort of sketchy and painterly bg (like the one for From Russia With Love) but I can't do that yet. comes out like shit. When I know more maybe I'll try again.
There's a couple of things I want to work on for a few days so I'm calling this done for the moment. I may try to put text on it next week (Krita doesn't seem good in that category) unless anyone else wants to superimpose some text.

No.2556
>>2555First off, there's way, way more unappealing artwork than what we're seeing right now, so don't knock yourself down too bad. The drawing itself is, indeed, amateurish, but the only way you can develop more skills is by practicing so I can't say much on how you can exactly get "better"
Now, as for your original question as to the drawing itself, I think the mask looks like your trying to hide from actually drawing the face. Not only that but the mask itself is just blank. Maybe add some detail that'll give some dimension or texture to the mask he's wearing (vents, fabric folds, cloth pattern, etc)
My best advice is try drawing a full plain face and adding features and details. Maybe look up reference photos and see how you can make the mask more form fitted to the character's face.
Other than that idk, maybe back up a bit so we can see more of the character or work more on the hair to make it look less scribbled in
pro tip: fill in with a dark purple, THEN scribble hair lines over with a lighter colour. But it's all up to you fam, keep at the good work and don't knock yourself down cuz it's a good start.
