Karl Pilkington Caricature
I’ve always struggled with drawing caricatures, but after re-listening to a lot of the Ricky Gervais podcasts featuring Steve Merchant and the incredible Karl Pilkington, I decided to try drawing the round-headed monkey man.

Corel Painter Splash Screen Illustration

Posted by Einar in Corel Painter, Digital Art, Illustrations (May 20, 2008 at 7:03 am)



Corel Painter is my go-to program and has been for years now. Along with my trusted Wacom Cintiq 21UX, it’s wha I work with every day.

Above is a screen shot of their splash screen. There are illustrations that rotate through when people open the application and sometimes my own illustration “Gesundheit” pops up.

If I don’t feel great about my work somedays (which happens a lot it seems), it’s nice to see one of my illustrations like that inside my favorite piece of software.

Digital Inking Movie Tutorial

Posted by Einar in Corel Painter, Tutorial, Drawing, Sketching, Comic Strips, Digital Art, Cartoons, Movies, Art, Comics (March 24, 2008 at 9:07 am)

Sometime ago I downloaded a bundle of software from macheist.com, which included a neat little app called Snapz Pro X. With that I can video-capture my screen while I draw, so I decided to give that a go.

This is a little sketch that I penciled, lettered and inked digitally in Corel Painter X on my Wacom Cintiq 21UX. Very simple, but it shows the process.

Anatomy of a Panel

This is my work process, shown with a panel from the graphic novel I’m working on. It shows the sketch, the lettering and then how I start coloring by adding a gray tone over everything, before blocking in the colors and then, in the last two panels, I show how I add light and texture to finish it off.

It’s all done in Corel Painter using a Wacom Cintiq 21UX graphics tablet (as usual).

The Egg of Death…

Don’t ask… This is just a sketch, or rather, the beginning of a painting that I found sitting around in a distant folder on my computer.

I did it to test out some brushes in Photoshop. I usually paint all my stuff in Corel Painter, but sometimes it’s nice to mix things up a bit using Photoshop.

I found this brush that creates a neat effect of simulating canvas texture. Unfortunately, this was so long ago, I’m not even sure how to find back to that brush again… You can see some of the brush work in the close-up below.
