T-rex Pencil Brush Experiment

Messing around with textured brushes and the pencil tool in Photoshop. This was basically an all-around experiment. The lineart was made in Illustrator as an alternative to trying to paint smooth lines in Photoshop or using Photoshop's vector tools. The brush technique emulates the technique I use with markers on paper, similar to watercolors, and because I used the pencil tool instead of the brush tool all the strokes have hard, pixilated edges.

I spent a while testing out various color pallets, attempted a background then gave up and messed with some composition before coming up with something very boring. Could have done more with that pose too, but eh.

At least it was fun, I learned a fair amount about some tools I had never used before, and finally got around to drawing again.


He's so grumpy about his tiny head!
