Some Process Stuff

Hi all, I decided to post some process stuffs (on request of Sanju). There's definitely a step or two missing -- next time i'll just record it. 

Thumbnails are really the bomb, also grayscale. Also I think everyone insterested in digital painting at all should watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG3hPBMv_Sk&feature=relmfu

It's a very good short lecture on digital painting with a timelapse to boot. 

But you'll have to buy me a better computer. Ha.

quick rough sketch, I did about a billion of these until I came up with this one.

Quick grayscale to figure out what I thought I might do.

I started to fuss about perspective and get a good idea for the environment. I decide to reference the University at Portsmouth.

I realized the perspective on Alex is off, so I readjust her a bit. 

And a bit more.

 200 steps later:

This is sort of in the vein of "Draw two circles, now draw the rest of the fucking owl", because I missed like 500 steps, but I got caught up in Noah Bradley's videos. I mostly wanted to capture the space of the environment but as well the energy of the scene. I also cleaned up my linework a bit so i had something to paint over and not look like an idiot.

I blocked in the colours that I'd be using for the final. Now I'm working on the final, and you'll see it in like a week. 

I'm still working on it, but I didn't want to post what I have now because i'd be like lying to myself -- its not done yet.
