RED HULK

So I finally downloaded the latest driver, so I can get the pressure sensitivity back on my wacom tablet. I've got to say, I have been missing out. So to warm up I started sketching out Red Hulkie here on a new document @ 100dpi. High-res enough to get some details in, low res enough to work quickly.
Then I bumped up the resolution and started inking on a separate layer. I fixed some of the line art, mostly his eyes (one was higher then the other, oops). I usually end up fixing the line art to a degree when it gets to the coloring stage.
Even just laying down the base color helps me understand what will/won't work, and highlights any mistakes I may have overlooked.
It's going to take a little more practice to get my digital inks to match my traditional ones, but I love the idea of wasting less paper and time. I can cut the middle man out and eliminate the need to scan work in. With my drawing time dissipating more and more each week, I gotta work smarter not harder!
