Artists bring art to the internet

Kathleen Robles, Charger Staff


Have you ever been on the internet and found fan-art? The newest kind of art sweeping the net is CG art. CG, or color graphics, are simple and amazing.

The future CG image begins in the concept stages in the artist’s mind. An online artist starts with art of their pick, sometimes original art.

The second step takes place on paper. This step starts with the building blocks of art- wire sketch or block sketch. Slowly the artist builds around the basic form and draws the actual character.

Inking are a major step. Coloring over the sketch of the character with a pen or marker gives the character its set appearance.

After scanning comes the hard part, coloring. The artist takes the black and white image into their graphic program of choice.

With the product finally finished and saved, the artist brings it to the net, to either a personal site or an art community site.
