Supergirl Forest Landing Time-lapse
🕑 Added 2021-06-30 23:01:02 +0000 UTCHere's the time-lapse of that Supergirl piece I posted earlier today! First time doing this so if there are any issues (video isn't loading, blurry/pixilated, too fast, too slow, too big, too small, etc...) please LMK so I can improve it for next time.
This piece took me about 2.5 hrs to do. I kept it pretty loose and sketchy and as you can see, completely skipped any penciling stage and went straight to inks. I'm hoping to use a similar approach as I work on my graphic novel to save me time. Also kept to minimal layers:
This is the slowest speed I could save the video at. I wanted to be sure you could see as much as my thought process as possible (including how I completely forgot about my signature until the very end). This drawing came out pretty quick, but usually that rough, planning out stage can take a while.
I save a sped-up version I might post to the social nets if only to entice folks to check out this Patreon, but for the most part these time-lapses will be patron exclusives.

Welcome back! Glad you had a nice break and it was inspiring. I really like the way this is framed and it's really interesting to see how it's all laid out. I think I end up with too many layers sometimes. It also looks a lot smoother than photoshop, but I'm a bit scared of trying new things! ><

Haha. Yup! Usually there's a lot more than that, but I was trying to be quick. Mostly testing out the time-lapse feature.

Just amazing. It was fun to watch all the times you changed your mind about posing, the capes, etc. in the early part of the sketching.
