Digitally Enhanced Pieces

Some digital pieces begin on paper and are sketched with traditional media, then go through a clean up stage or a coloring stage on the computer.

Rose Besch, aka bara-chan

Web Site: Bara-chan's Cyber Garden

Bara-chan starts off with a rough sketch, either on paper or on the computer. She then cleans up the sketch and add details. She uses an ink pen to create the lineart from the sketch, then either erases the original sketch from that or does the lineart on a separate layer when CGing. Either markers or pencils on paper or digital paintbrushes are used to color the lineart.

Tools used: Adobe Photoshop 7, Corel Painter 7, 6x8 Wacom Intuos tablet, HP Scanjet 8200 scanner.
