Sketch vs Colour?

~ItsAGhostStory Dec 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Just wondering what your preference is? Fo you perfer black and white sketching/shadong or coloured pencils to shade and colour after the line work? I personally like sketching but I ocaisionally like colour. It depends on the picture for me

I personally love sketches, I love the sketchy look of art. I even use pencil-like brushes in Photoshop whenever I do digital art!

Same! The sketchyness just adds so much emotion

I enjoy sketching, I do a lot of it, but I find it does not produce great finished images. And I don't count in depth graphite renders as sketching.

A sketch is an idea, something that has to be transformed into something final either by adding colour or tracing and reworking it with more detail and depth and yet keeping the life of the sketch.

I agree , though i Love the accomplished feeling when i produce a great sketch (:

I like to try to transfer the energy of the sketch to the final image. One thing I hate is losing that freedom and flow a sketch has by making the final too stuffy.

l like that pointnof view , never thought about sketces that wayy(:

I have actually seen myself scanning my sketch and just cleaning that up, getting rid of all unwanted marks and just using that sketch instead of lining over the top. It depends, but yes, the energy is important, esp for comic work where you want the characters to seem alive like they're moving or talking etc.

I dont really do comic work, Im not that creative haha but yeah I just look the look of sketches; how theyre messy yet it works
