Video: Digital Drawing and Sketching of Cartoons and Comics on the Wacom Cintiq Tablet (YouTube)

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Cartoon.
“Cheers Old Friend!”

Here is another video of me drawing a quick sketch and coloring it in Autodesk SketchBook Pro software. I am using a Wacom Cintiq digital tablet screen on this one.
A wonderful tool which I can wholeheartedly recommend to any professional illustrator, graphic designer or cartoonist.

I made occasional cuts to stay within the 10 minute length limit imposed by YouTube so the drawing jumps along miraculously a few times, but I hope the steps I took are still clear.

As always I am posting the finished drawing below. I hope you enjoy the video.

Drawing a digital cartoon pencil sketch in AutoDesk SketchBook Pro 2010

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

I like SketchBook Pro very much for the purpose of rough sketching, layouts, storyboarding and generally creating the inital basic artwork which I then later use to import into other programs such as Illustrator, Painter or Photoshop for further coloring or line-art inking.

Sometimes I lay down some color in the sketches/concepts/layouts directly in SketchBook. It has some very useful coloring tools such as the advertising markers and airbrush.

Wie schnell hätte Usain Bolt im Olympia-Final über 100 Meter laufen können? Wo wohnt Roger Federer? Wer hat Fabian Cancellara den crème-farbenen Anzug aufgeschwatzt den er an den Sports Awards trug? Was ist aus Lindsey Vonns Kuh und Christian Stucki’s Muni geworden?
