Chapter 1 - Color Pages
every leecher likes them, a lot of redrawer and cleaner hate them.
here we have the cleaned page, normally i start from there:
after we are done, it should look like that:
you can download the psd file here: redrawing_demo.psd
my principle is, first to get a rough sketch with the base colors, after that start with the gradients. after that add details, like lines, highlightes, etc.
first i'm gonna start at the top right text.
i use this settings for my brush
and start redrawing roughly the base colores with little focus on gradients on a new layer, i want to get a rough sketch
use more layers if you want to seperate different parts, like hairs, pillows, background, from each other and make it easier on yourself
now i have only have the form and base color of things right.
next i use a similar brush with low flow setting
after that you can make a new layer and create a clipping mask onto your rough sketch to prevent you from drawing into other regions,
so how to work out the gradients:
brush tool and select a light color of your gradient (alt+l. click)
and start drawing here
do the same with a dark color
and do that until you think the gradient is right and you have a smooth transition.
start working out the gradients, shadows, highlights etc.
next step is adding finer details like lines etc.
new layer, brush with this settings
now add the lines and small stuff which has a high contrast
another example, the stuff in the top right:
