Some L4D2 Artwork In Honor of my Fwendz *again*

by Alxala

I’ve been working on my L4D2 artwork project by replacing the survivors’ heads with our characters’ heads from Source FilmMaker by simply copying them over to Photoshop. Here’s my artwork with my two friends, Tomala and Yutram:

It would be fun to play L4D2 with these as skins. 😛

Adobe Illustratification Artwork Roundup

by Alxala

Guess what I’ve been doing in Adobe Illustrator lately?

I just thought I’d practice some more drawing on my Wacom tablet while tracing images of various game sprites, and I will doing more of Illustrator so that I can learn new things on there. 🙂

Learning More in Adobe Illustrator

by Alxala

I got back to doing more drawing practice on my Wacom Tablet in Adobe Illustrator this evening, but this time I’m using images of pixel-based road sign silhouettes and trace them into vector-based ones so I can make patterns with them:

I’ve also been using other tools that resize, rotate and even reflect the pictures that I traced. So far I’ve been doing good on using my drawing tablet on Illustrator but I still need to watch more Illustrator videos so that I can learn more.

Current SFM Mood: Comedy Bar Robot Party

by Alxala

I finished my latest SFM art project this evening after doing some drawing practice on my Wacom tablet. Here’s the mess that I made tonight:

The whole story behind it is my Scout character decided to throw a comedy bar party for robots inside an apartment. I’ll plan on doing another round of SFM once my next weekend kicks in.

I drew another thing in Adobe Illustrator

by Alxala

I decided to practice drawing some artwork in Adobe Illustrator on my brand new tablet/laptop hybrid this evening. Here is a picture of my latest vector-based piece of art:

I did all of this by using my Bamboo pen which is much easier to draw on than using the mouse buttons. 😉

I summoned the Adobe Illustrator Artwork in Attack Mode!

I’ve been practicing drawing on my Wacom drawing tablet under Adobe Illustrator CS6, and here’s a picture of my artwork:

 

Now I’m at the point where I’m going to watch more videos about drawing techniques in Adobe Illustrator CS6 so that I can learn to become better at drawing on my tablet instead of my computer mouse. 🙂

Some Fun with Adobe Illustrator CS6

by Alxala

I’ve been toying around on Adobe Illustrator CS6 on my Wacom drawing tablet. I’m making vector-based instead of pixel-based artwork, learning to use features like the image trace, changing fill and stroke colors. I’ve learned how to use different symbols of things like Nature, Fashion and Flowers in my artwork.

This is a fun program for drawing, resizing and recoloring lines, shapes and other things on my drawing tablet. 🙂
