Speed video of the entire work time condensed into 4 minutes:[link]

A 3.5 hour quickie of Psylocke from The X-Men done in photoshop entirely.

I get asked a lot how I draw or how I ink or how I color so I thought this would be a good way to show from start to finish. You can see Psylocke come together from a blank sheet of paper to the rough pencils, to the inks and then all the way to what you see above. Unfortunately, some of the color rendering file got corrupted so it's missing a little toward the end but I plan on doing another one of these for full color rendering sometime in the near future. If you have any suggestions for techniques you'd like to see please feel free to mention them here or on the Youtube video page.

Hope you dig!
-Mark

You're a really good artist and the video was very informative to me.

However I find two things a little awkward. Her breasts and right foot. The initial "pencil" looked fine but once you inked and colored it up I felt that the values of these two areas seemed off.

I'm not too good with technical terms but the highlights on her chest seems to sit a little oddly with the surround flat black.

Her left foot doesn't seem to be resting completely well on the ground... seems a little floaty. The overall tonal range in her left foot and chest area could be a little more detailed I think...

I wish I could communicate what it is that I'm thinking exactly much better... unfortunately I have to study up on my art vocab.

I do admire your other works btw =) Keep up the fantastic work...

Consider this: if you stare at any piece of art long enough, you will eventually find flaws. Why? Because even if the piece is technically perfect, your mind will invent flaws where there aren't any. That is a truism for art in general (and coincidentally why many a song you went crazy for when you first heard it gets lame after a time).

So knowing that there are flaws in every piece - real or imagined - ask yourself this: are they a bad thing? Some would say a piece lacks character and soul if it isn't at least a little flawed.

Don't be so dramatic.

Whatever I pointed out earlier was distracting to me PERSONALLY!

The dude is a leagues above as an artist than I am. Whatever I wrote was implied as doubts more than anything, that I was hoping the artist would clear up for me.

"Dramatic," eh? I was giving you food for thought; if you're this defensive, perhaps you should consider a different vocation.

"This defensive"? Yeah okay man...

I appreciate you trying to give me something to think about.

This absolutely needs to available for sale at some point, as well as the pagoda background one. Not enough artists do wall art that's beautiful without being cheesecake.
