Gokaiger's Joe Gibken using Photoshop
海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャーのジョー·ギブケンでPhotoshopを使ってみた
Remember that lineart in the post below? Work in Progress here.
Debating if I should continue it, or just leave it as is...
I learned: Make sure your lineart looks okay, and figure out what 'coloring' method you're going to use for this. Not to mention, I learned there is a HUGE difference to an 'anime' style lineart sketch, and a more 'realistic' pencil sketch lineart which can affect the way you paint something...
It almost threw me off when I attempted to paint realistically due to using Yamada Yuki's (the actor who plays Joe) magazine photos as reference for the lighting and such. Going too realistic on an anime line art ends up looking REALLY weird...
Thank god for saving multiple copies of this to go back and somewhat start over, and balance everything out.
I painted this from dark to light, and kind of played with the opacity while layering color (similar to the way people would paint with Acrylics).
