 For those who love bald characters with speech impediments here's a Wally Man story outline.

Inking and coloring step by step - Alien Stickers

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days. I've been working on some new stickers of Binto, Blop and currently some aliens.

I thought I'd share my process with you one step at a time.

Sketch Design

 

Import into TB Animate 3 and start inking 

I have Harmony but I like the brush better in Animate.
I usually start with the body, inking the biggest shapes first.

  

 Finish outline of body - rough

 I try to use as few strokes as possible because it makes the rest of the process easier.

 You can see that the rough inking has some overlapping lines so I then start cleaning them up.

Clean Up Body

Start Inking Head

Again I start with the outline of the biggest shape.

Clean Up Head

I like to use layers - head under eyes, nose etc...

Start Inking Features

 On separate layers.

 Inking Finished

Once the inking is done and separated into logical layers, it's ready to color.

 Start Filling Colors

I start filling the body colors first.

Finish Body Fills

Start Filling Head

 Finished Head and Body Fills

Now it's ready to take into Photoshop to add a little rendering.

Trees Struggle and New Character

I suck at backgrounds but every now and then I take a whack at them just out of curiosity. Here are some trees I sketched a couple days ago.

 

 

 I got frustrated with trees then tried my hand at some desert life.

Well that was none too encouraging either.

Maybe some sea life (without the damn backgrounds) might ease my frustration.

 Not so much. Well here are some heads I saw on the news.

 Hey did you ever notice that news reporters and anchors have their own unique dialogue mouth shapes? I've been wanting to study that for awhile and finally got down to it after my tree fails.

 Some even have fish lips.

Oh and here's Francie Fancy-Ass promoting my color doodles.
