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.

Illustrationen zu einem Artikel von Simone Schmid erschienen in der NZZ am Sonntag am 4. Mai 2008.

Hier ein Einblick in einen Auftrag den ich für die Neue Zürcher Zeitung am Sonntag zeichnen durfte.

Es ging darum Wählertypen diverser Schweizer Parteien in den nationalen Wahlen als Figur zu symbolisieren.
Der SVP Wähler, die Grünen Wählerin, Der SP Wähler, die CVP Wählerin der FDP Wähler und auch eine ‘Nicht-Wählerin’ die eher vage und gesichtslos sein sollte.

Zuerst habe ich die verschiedenen Charaktertypen der Wähler als Bleistift Skizzen festzuhalten versucht.

(Bleistiftskizzen in meinem Moleskine Skizzenbuch zum FDP Wähler und zur Nicht-Wählerin.)

Sobald die Skizzen fertig waren, wurden sie an die Autorin und an die Redaktion geschickt um sicherzugehen, dass ich die verschiedenen Wähler ‘Archetypen’ auch richtig getroffen hatte.

Nachdem ich von der Redaktion das grüne Licht erhalten hatte, konnte ich mich an die Reinzeichnungen machen.

Footballheroes. Video. Ian Marsden shows how he illustrated Team Ireland for ‘Footballheroes See Red’

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Here is a short YouTube video in which I very briefly show how I created the Irish Players for the new ‘Footballheroes See Red’ book using my drawing of Paul Mc Shane as an example.

I click through some of the layers and talk very briefly about some of the software used.

In the case of the Republic of Ireland team, I started with rough pencil sketches which I then scanned and imported into Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I created all my black line work in Illustrator using the pressure sensitivity from the Wacom tablet to give me the stroke widths and the right look and feel for my lines.

The Footballheroes books are printed in such high quality and on such top-notch paper that I wanted everything to look as sharp as possible.

Finally I imported the lines into Corel Painter IX.5 and colored the players using digital watercolor.

Final artwork was delivered as 300 ppi TIFF files.

The reason Paul Mc Shane is wearing a suit and a band-aid is because I wanted all of the team members to look like characters from a classic gangster movie. Why? I don’t know.

:)
