Have Some Skill

An attempt to create a comic strip and simulate the hand-drawn effect in computer graphics.

The comic strip depicts the use of laboratory materials and equipment to pay homage to the scene in the movie The Matrix Reloaded where Neo stops bullets.

Process:

• Storyboarding
  

• Generating a comic template (American Comicbook 11*17 Size 600 dpi here)
  

• Rough
  

• Lineart
  

• Making a paper effect
  

• Base coloring
  

• Adding edges of the color bleeding
  

• Lightening the middle part of the ink stains to simulate the watercolor wash technique
  • Also changed the appearance of the safety goggles in the second scene for uniformity.
    
• Adding details to the phone camera interface
