"I've been a professional
illustrator and artist for the last 10 years, and have drawn numerous
books and magazine features, album covers, posters and so on and so
forth. My style is hand drawn with pen and ink then coloured
digitally, so I hope that falls within the remit of computer artist.
"I do all the
drawing using the most uncomputerised methods imaginable via a dip pen
and ink on some paper, which is then scanned into Photoshop and
coloured simply by dropping colours into different areas. To achieve
the shading, I either - on large objects such as the sky - use the
gradient tool, or more commonly in small areas I'll select the region
with the magic wand tool, select the same colour using the colour
picker, then shade using a soft edged paint brush set to "multiply".
(I guess that previous sentence will only make sense if you know the
various features and functions of Photoshop)."
