Here's another digital drawing from Manga Studio Debut. It uses seven halftone layers: a brown series from beige to black, two blues, and a maroon. I like the way Manga Studio's "print aware" nature lets you achieve the depth of continuous-tone art an yet retain some of the look of a comic.

The subject is imaginary, but is based on the look and pose of old sepia tint photographs from the late 1800's. I drew her directly into Manga Studio using a Wacom tablet, without a reference. The "stars" are the brush which I initially used to rough in the features.

(And, yes, I know her right eye is a bit too close to her nose, I'm just too lazy to fix it right now. The use of multiple layers makes it a bit of a tedious process this late in the drawing. Let's just presume that such small flaws are often the hallmarks of great beauty :lol:)

WOW. Gorgeous work, Neil!

Thanks!

By the way, I did have to go back and fix the eye; it took some effort, but I just couldn't resist :lol:

Yes, it is.

I like to look at an artwork from all distances. It looks great when zoomed in. Is what you posted the max resoluton?

It’s 25%, the original being at 600 dpi. The best view, IMHO was at 50%. That was the best combination of blending and detail; but so little of it fits on the screen at that scale that I decided to upload the 25% version.

That is so cool, Neil.

Thanks also! (And I haven’t forgotten I owe you a painting :lol: )

Thanks and thanks.

I'm living without my graphics tablet for a few weeks while I finish moving; I did however, remember to leave a few pens and pencils unpacked. :lol:

I wish I could pull something like that off, without manipulating a photo!
