Video Review: Comic Book Illustration with Phil Noto (The Gnomon Workshop)


In this new release by the The Gnomon Workshop "Phil Noto shows you his illustration techniques for creating comic book covers and pinups. Using a completely digital workflow, you will see how he goes from a preliminary sketch to finished art. He demonstrates how he uses Adobe Photoshop® for sketching and coloring, and Smith Micro Manga Studio™ for inking the art, while discussing the benefits of each program's toolset. Phil covers topics such as line quality, silhouette, proportions, Photoshop layer and channel management, color palette, brush selection, lighting and texture. Throughout the lecture Phil shows how he balances line, light, color and details to refine his illustration".

The video is very informative and Phil shares his personal workflow in detail giving some very insightful hints.

I would have preferred to have also the final image (at least in .jpg format) in order to look at it in detail but with the purchase you can download "only" the video and a .pdf file with some infos about the settigns of Quicktime to better view the video itself.

Anyway it's a product that worth every money spent for it and if you like Phil Noto's style it's a "must have"!
