Causing myself a slight qualm concerning the Wombat project here's a comparison between the textured and untextured versions of the Little Wall of Bethlehem pic. (I say a qualm as, so far, Wombat is untextured but I may change my mind on that... Hmm... decisions decisions...) Anyhow the workflow on this one was: idea at 11am, doodling (while having coffee with family - they're used to my, ahem, multitasking when a picture takes over) between 12.30 and 1.30, finished between 4 and 5 including textures. It wasn't intentional to get the image done so speedily, sometimes I just like to see where somethings going fast. Normally I doodle something out on the screen in Brushes and then whack it down to a low opacity and draw a new version of the outline and then repeat the process until I'm happy with it. This time the outline I doodled was the one I stayed with (with one small change - the original picture had a searchlight on it so was going to be a dusk like image - as soon as I started colouring I wanted to do it slightly bluer sky so the searchlight went). Then I coloured it and then it was into Pixelmator to be textured.
