  • Creating Manga-Style Artwork in Corel Painter X
    Creating manga-style artwork in Corel® Painter™ X Jared Hodges Manga is the Japanese word for comic. Manga-style comic books, graphic novels, and artwork are gaining international popularity. Bronco Boar, created by Jared Hodges in Corel Painter X The inspiration for Bronco Boar comes from my interest in fantastical beasts, Mesoamerican design motifs, and my background in Japanese manga-style imagery. In the image, I wanted to evoke a feeling of an American Southwest desert with a fantasy twist. I came up with the idea of an action scene portraying a cowgirl breaking in an aggressive oversized boar. In this tutorial, you will learn about • character design • creating a rough sketch of the composition • finalizing line art • the coloring process • adding texture, details, and final colors 1 Character Design This picture focuses on two characters: the cowgirl and the boar. I like to design the characters before I work on the actual image, so I can concentrate on their appearance before I consider pose and composition. The cowgirl's costume was inspired by western clothing: cowboy hat, chaps, gloves, and boots. I added my own twist to create a nontraditional design. I enlisted the help of fellow artist and partner, Lindsay Cibos, to create a couple of conceptual character designs based on my criteria. Two concept sketches by Lindsay Cibos. These sketches helped me decide which design elements and colors to use for the character's outfit. Combining our ideas, I sketched the final design using a custom 2B Pencil variant from the Pencils category, switching between a size of 3 pixels for detail work and 5 pixels for broader strokes.

Preferred file types: These file types work best and typically encounter few problems. tif (TIFF) jpg (JPEG) psd (Adobe Photoshop document) eps (Encapsulated PostScript) ai (Adobe Illustrator) pdf (Portable Document Format) Accepted file types: These file types are acceptable, although application versions and operating systems can introduce problems. A hardcopy, for cross-referencing, will ensure a more accurate outcome. doc, docx (Word) xls, xlsx (Excel) ppt, pptx (PowerPoint) fh (Freehand) cdr (Corel Draw) cvs (Canvas) Image sizing specifications should be discussed with the Editorial Office prior to digital file submission. Digital images should be submitted in the final size desired. White space around the image should be removed. Image Resolution The minimum acceptable resolution is 200 dpi at the desired final size in the paged article. To ensure the highest-quality published image, follow these optimum resolutions: • Line = 1200 dpi. Contains only black and white; no shades of gray. These images are typically ink drawings or charts. Other common terms used are monochrome or 1-bit. • Grayscale or Color = 300 dpi. Contains no text. A photograph or a painting is an example of this type of image. • Combination = 600 dpi. Grayscale or color image combined with a line image. An example is a photograph with letter labels, arrows, or text added outside the image area. Anytime a picture is combined with type outside the image area, the resolution must be high enough to maintain smooth, readable text.

  • Learning to Shadow Hand-Drawn Sketches
    Learning to Shadow Hand-drawn Sketches Qingyuan Zheng∗1, Zhuoru Li∗2, and Adam Bargteil1 1University of Maryland, Baltimore County 2Project HAT fqing3, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract We present a fully automatic method to generate detailed and accurate artistic shadows from pairs of line drawing sketches and lighting directions. We also contribute a new dataset of one thousand examples of pairs of line draw- ings and shadows that are tagged with lighting directions. Remarkably, the generated shadows quickly communicate the underlying 3D structure of the sketched scene. Con- sequently, the shadows generated by our approach can be used directly or as an excellent starting point for artists. We demonstrate that the deep learning network we propose takes a hand-drawn sketch, builds a 3D model in latent space, and renders the resulting shadows. The generated shadows respect the hand-drawn lines and underlying 3D space and contain sophisticated and accurate details, such Figure 1: Top: our shadowing system takes in a line drawing and as self-shadowing effects. Moreover, the generated shadows a lighting direction label, and outputs the shadow. Bottom: our contain artistic effects, such as rim lighting or halos ap- training set includes triplets of hand-drawn sketches, shadows, and pearing from back lighting, that would be achievable with lighting directions. Pairs of sketches and shadow images are taken traditional 3D rendering methods. from artists’ websites and manually tagged with lighting directions with the help of professional artists.

  • Sleek Illustration That Fades from Line Art to Color
    Sleek Illustration that Fades from Line Art to Color In this tutorial, you will work with a few images you chose and you will create a nice looking illustration. The idea behind this illustration was to create a war between reality and line art. Video Tutorial Our video editor Gavin Steele has created this series of video tutorials to compliment this line art + image tutorial. Step 1 First create a new document that is 1100 pixels wide by 1500 pixels high at a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. For this project I will use a texture that I like very much. I would like to thank the author of this texture Princess-of-Shadows for putting this together. Now, move the texture into your document. Step 2 Next you need to select the images you will use for this design. I bought three nice images that you might be familiar with 1, 2, 3. Let’s start with image 1, and using the Pen Tool (P) you need to create a path around the dancer. Step 3 Now that you finished creating the path you need to set your brush size to 1px and Hardness at 100%. Next create a new layer and name it "contour1." Next, using the Pen Tool (P) right-click then select Stroke Path, select the brush and make sure the Simulate Pressure is not selected. Also, you need to make the stroke black. Step 4 Now that you have created the stroke do not delete the path. Next you need to press Command + Enter to transform the path into a selection and then you need to press the Add Layer Mask button.

  • Fully Automatic Anime Character Colorization with Painting of Details on Empty Pupils
    EUROGRAPHICS 2020/ F. Banterle and A. Wilkie Short Paper Deep-Eyes: Fully Automatic Anime Character Colorization with Painting of Details on Empty Pupils K. Akita, Y. Morimoto, and R. Tsuruno Kyushu University Abstract Many studies have recently applied deep learning to the automatic colorization of line drawings. However, it is difficult to paint empty pupils using existing methods because the networks are trained with pupils that have edges, which are generated from color images using image processing. Most actual line drawings have empty pupils that artists must paint in. In this paper, we propose a novel network model that transfers the pupil details in a reference color image to input line drawings with empty pupils. We also propose a method for accurately and automatically coloring eyes. In this method, eye patches are extracted from a reference color image and automatically added to an input line drawing as color hints using our eye position estimation network.

  • A Procedural Approach to Style for NPR Line Drawing from 3D Models
    INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE EN INFORMATIQUE ET EN AUTOMATIQUE A Procedural Approach to Style for NPR Line Drawing from 3D models Stéphane Grabli — Frédo Durand — Emmanuel Turquin — François Sillion N° 4724 Février 2003 THÈME 3 apport de recherche ISSN 0249-6399 A Procedural Approach to Style for NPR Line Drawing from 3D models Stéphane Grabli £ , Frédo Durand†, Emmanuel Turquin‡ , François Sillion§ Thème 3 — Interaction homme-machine, images, données, connaissances Projets ARTIS et MIT Graphics Group Rapport de recherche n° 4724 — Février 2003 — 25 pages Abstract: This paper introduces a procedural approach to non-photorealistic line drawing from 3D models. The approach is inspired both by procedural shaders in classical rendering and by the power of procedural modeling. We propose a new image creation model where all operations are controlled procedurally. A view map describing all relevant support lines in the drawing is first created from the 3d model; a number of style modules operate on this map, by procedurally selecting and chaining lines before creating strokes and assigning drawing attributes. Two different levels of user control are provided, ranging from a low-level programming API to a parameterized building-block assembly mechanism. The resulting drawing system allows very flexible control of all elements of drawing style: first, different style modules can be applied to different types of lines in a view; second, stroke attributes are assigned procedurally and can be correlated at will with various scene or view properties.

By observing animated films with period settings, we can draw comparisons between their art direction and the art styles of their time. By understanding the historical era and its culture, a creator can then begin to build a world that uses these elements as inspiration. For my animated short film, I use the history and culture of 19th century Paris to illustrate the story. By using influences of period artists such as Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Pissarro I must understand their techniques and incorporate their stylistic choices into the film using visual storytelling techniques.
