Ds Thumbnailing .

Nov 20, 2007 by simr



I did these thumbnails using the nintendo ds system and a little program called colors .
Finally FINALLY - someone actually gave us a digital sketchbook worth getting !
A big cheer for Jens Anderson . .

This individual has done an amazing job with the coding on colors! for the ds platform . I HIGHLY recommend getting it .
The battery lasts for about 6 hours use and is as portable as a carton of cigarettes .

All info regarding the subject can be found - HERE .

Each of these thumbnails are just that - thumbnails . Quick ,fast and fun . I may work up some of these eventually but for now the idea is at least put down .
The ds is perfect for the way I like to just bang down basic ideas and flow forwards . I sometimes just get ideas so quickly that reaching for a bag of markers/paint and pens can sometimes slow me down and I forget what it was I was thinking of . Each of these were done in about 15 minutes . Things got faster once I got used to the buttons .
I signed them in CS3 ( ya I'm a cheater .....)

More of these in the future for sure .

Hi there, this is my first time visiting your site and I'm happily impressed with your work. I found out about the DS from Sparth too, but I'm still waiting for my R4 card to download colors and try it out. Very nice work you have here. I like the stylized pieces the most and the sequential pages from your comic are very cool. I'm working on a book myself and it's slow going for me to, but it is worth the effort.
