A little something different–today’s illustration was sketched loosely in Photoshop and then inked and colored in Illustrator (I did also do a few tiny touch-ups in Photoshop). For those who don’t know the difference, Illustrator is a Vector-based graphics program, while Photoshop is a Pixel-based graphics program. This page<\/a> gives a quick overview about the differences between the two, and you can read here<\/a> if you want more details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The colors are not quite what I expected–they looked different after I imported the image into Photoshop. I think maybe I need to adjust my color profile in Illustrator or something? Maybe someone who, unlike me, actually knows what they’re talking about could offer some helpful advice about this issue?<\/p>\n

The whole purpose of this was to practice my vector skillz, and on that note I think this drawing\/concept was just a little too involved for a vector rookie like myself. To achieve what I’m envisioning in my head (in terms of vector illustration), I need to learn to simplify shapes a bit more, and general simplify and stylize my drawings. I am however, happy with the way the bamboo “print” on the tunic turned out. It’s far from perfect, but as an experiment to gauge what I can do with vector illustration, it was a success.<\/p>\n

Since the completion of this piece, I’ve done a few simpler vector sketches, which I will, of course, be sharing over the next few weeks, dear reader<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
