I'm glad that *mustang-thunder asked me to send her original, I'm not completely fond of this scan.

It's her character, arabian grey mare Alimah



Tools used: pencils H, HB, 4B, eraser and a bit of Photoshop

Przepiękny rysunek. Wygląda niesamowicie realistycznie. Szczegółowo oddałaś każdy element budowy konia... Co tu pisać, po prostu przepiękny. Najbardziej podobają mi się oczy. Są cudowne

AonikaArt In reply to Ceathe [2010-05-27 20:15:25 +0000 UTC]

Dziękuję bardzo. Co do oczu, to właśnie je najbardziej lubię rysować, co chyba da się zauważyć na artach...

Absolutely STUNNING! It's like this amazing horse will jump off the paper any minute, because it looks so incredibly real!
One tiny question; How did you add the photoshop bit in it? 'Cause I'm beginning with photoshop myself and because I usually draw traditional, I would like to complete some of it with photoshop.

AonikaArt In reply to StellaMay2807 [2010-05-12 19:42:06 +0000 UTC]

Firstly thank you for nice words

Secondly: to polish art in photoshop at the beginning I'm adjusting scan with curves or change it's contrast/brightness. Sometimes duplicate the layer and change it into multiply and made it transparent...

Because scans looks so very different than original artworks I sometimes use filter -> liquefy (maybe it have other name, shortcut for it in PS CS3 is Shift + Ctrl + X) and change some parts a little. Other way is to create new layer under the sketch and draw on it with soft brush. It's good to darken some parts(sketch has to be in multiply mode)

Will it be some help for you? ^^

Yes, thankyou, I think I understand it now a little better than before. In the beginning it was all one big puzzle for me.

This is very beautiful. Your pencil drawing is soft and striking at the same time!

There are few artists on DA that have such a strong handling on both digital AND traditional art.

OH my good golly gracious....

This is...amazing. Seriously. My heart stopped beating when I saw the little thumbnail on your note. I love everything about it- her eye (her EYE!), the very-Arabian look about her, even the way her neck is arched. I really cannot say enough; this is one of the most beautiful works of Ali I've seen so far. I can't wait to see it in person! Thank you so much for doing this!

Off to note you my address!
