Weekly 2018-05-15: step by step of a panel, and last steps to ep25

Added 2018-05-15 11:41:58 +0000 UTC

Hi Patrons! This is a late weekly because episode 25 is around the corner and I'm spending all my time on polishing every panels of the nine pages. On Friday, I'll fly to Krita Sprint 2018 in Netherland and I really want to release episode 25 before this event.

A step by step:

I kept screenshot and photos while making a panel, the workflow for this one isn't representative of what I used to do all the episode, but I thought it was interesting to share the making-of of this one.

1. Rough sketch (blue pencil)

2. Inking (ballpen)

3. Scan, clean and smooth lines (Sane, Krita, Gmic)

4. Precolor (Krita, preset: i)_Wet_Paint )

5. Changes during beta-testing with feedback

6. Detailing pass ( in fact; it's a pass not really about "detail", but about a better and deeper shading, details are added on the way ).

7. Final: post corrections and Fx (using Layer Effet 'glow' and layers with blending modes)

A new video tutoriel: Rain Effect

Last week I produced a 8min video tutorial about how to make a rain effect in Krita. You can find it on my Youtube channel or on libre alternative Peertube.

That's all! I'm back to my stylus because I still have around 30 hours of work to detail and shade the last pages of episode 25.

Next week, I'll certainly write about the Krita Sprint and show more making-of about episode 25. I'm also planning a video tutorial about this dark cloud of energy and particles in Krita but that will certainly be after the release of episode 25. Have a good start of week!
