Batgirl in 6 easy steps STEP 5by ~jimlee00

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Comics / Pages

There are many ways to separate foreground from background and the color white can be especially powerful on a colored midground field. I use whiteout to create volume by pulling out the shine and highlights on the form (essentially anything curved gets a white dab or streak of color to show the shape is 3-D and is reflective an off camera light source) and then on top of it, I just throw white in the background using my fingers as brushes. The idea is to pop her off the green and create some moody atmosphere at the same time.

I also use the white out as a graphical element, outlining her silhouette which is the crudest and simplest way of popping the figure off the same colored background.

Really nice sketch.

Aw man, once you start splattering stuff, that's when things get fun! I love it!
How come you use white out as opposed to acrylic or gouache or something? I always thought white out has kind of a yucky texture.
