Vector redraws (full-color, greyscale, & blue shades): Jenny Anxious
From throughout the past 2 weeks
Vector redraws of my Jenny Anxious fanart
One of the first published times of me doing a sketch-over/draw-over/tracing of my own art.😲
Wanted it to be quick & low-stakes. Actually didn't intend to publish these artworks. Still wanted to post at least the art timelapse (on my YouTube at the end of the thread).
Tbh, was really afraid of posting the actual art.😰 Afraid could be like that commercialization Andy Warhol satirizes (with his color variations).
Practice of a different-looking medium (One reason why I was ok with "tracing" it—it’s more a test of a medium *look* rather than a test of my ideas/a completely new medium, the latter demoed with my "Jenny expression draws" series. https://twitter.com/Serndests_Art/status/1723521485976039498)
Possible full-color version of my sketchy illustration style. Maybe even what my storyboarding style could be (with the greyscale vector version).
Process: Re-drew the vector sketch-over…3 times😳
-On first 2 times, went with my usual 7-9px Flat vector brush (with Size controlled by Tilt), but didn't like how coloring book-like they both looked.
-Then, before 3rd time, after looking at some professional storyboard artist work, I thought it looked like they started their sketches with a small-sized brush instead of a larger one like I do .🤔
(--My latter-mentioned habit is a carry-over from me personally preferring brushes with darkness variation & size mostly controlled by tilt, like pencils.)
-On the 3rd time, I re-drew it starting off with a small brush (3-4px) & adding some thicker lines to show distance/depth & dimensionality (...which ended up not being as many thicker lines as I expected, with me wanting to avoid coloring-book-like linework😳).
(-) On the character matte layer & when the linework is set as a reference, don't use bucket-fill on the linework. Produces a white halo effect
-(*) make the character matte layer transparent, to more easily check
(-) bc the L side of her mouth is elliptical instead of more circular, looks more like an awkward smile
(-) forgot to erase the light blue over L pigtail screw
(-) fine w/ boot reflection as single, no-contact curve instead of one line right below L boot & partial curve below R boot
