Fan Art : Kalayaan

As per my previous post here and  continuing w/ my local theme from my previous post. I am finally done with my take on Sir Gio‘s Kalayaan but I cheated somewhat because instead of finishing the inks digitally which was the original plan and I backed out because I think I was getting out of hand w/ all the lines and cross hatches that I did. I was almost calling it quits and start from scratch then I decided what the hey, finish it off traditionally. With only markers at hand I labored away and come up w/ this piece. I still think though that I got out of hand with the inking process, next time I should clean things up on future pieces. Colors /minor touch ups and lens flare via PS of course. Below is the original rough sketch before the ghastly deed of inking over it. I still think and am afraid of inking my penciled drawings, I’m still getting a hang of it and hope to improve. Comments and rants highly appreciated.

WIP: Kalayaan Fan-Art 10% done and counting

Just want to do a quick update of what I’m working on right now over the long weekend, a possible finished Fan Art of Sir Gio Paredes‘ superhero “Kalayaan“. It’s my first time inking over my pencils over PS digitally via my cheapo pen tablet, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hope I can manage to finish it. It’s so damn hard as with anything first. This decision to ink digitally stemmed over from my previous post here after I was trying to clean up my old unused nibs to do some inking action but alas, to my dismay, almost every nib was broken, inks not flowing and the like and it kind of pissed me off and decided to try to do this one digitally. Others can do it so why can’t I or something like that. So, keep posted and wish me luck on this one….
