hey there, im an apprentice hopeful,and wondering if anyone is willing to share tips and techniques of starting a flash set,any and all comments are much appreciated!
get a good set of pencils firstly, i hear prisma are good! try to stick to "themes" for your sheets.. like a sheet of skulls all different sizes and styles.. or "theme" them by things like old skool or new skool or tribal. also have a look at the flash that is available to view on the internet and see how they are laid out! also make line drawings of all your flash sheets. thats all i can think of for now ¬ hope this helps Good Luck
First I make line sheets.If I am doing a black and grey set I use number 2 pencils and pigment liners on bristol.If I am doing a color set I use prismacolors on vellum.
