Sketch

[Dale]

This took me about 45 mins to colour. As you can see there's not much detail on it.. but i'm pleased with the overall result ( especially for my first attempt at colouring :P )

What do you think? More detail needed?

lol @ oblivion. its awesome dude! man i wish i could draw like that, is it hard coloring in ps? i think im gonna try to cultivate my non-digital art skills. besides poetry and photography and prose and music. . .damn didnt realize there were that many non-digital arts :huh: learn somethin new every day, tho you dont always learn it from yourself every day :P

I didn't draw the sketch.. i can only draw like that if i spend ages on it. Nah we English aren't that crazy. It's just what the file was called from the Ff site i got it on.

Well it's not really hard. Just takes a while to select all of the bits, with the polygon lasoo tool. Then colour.. etc. But it's worth it in the end. Thanks for the good comments guys ^.^

how do you do the shading tho? just randomly?

[Dale]

Well .. in this picture

There is:


A layer for the dark lumps
The lines - basically the picture
The skin
The eye
The toe nails
Shading
Highlights
Background
Text

Each layer one has one colour on it. Except fr bg, and eye. Shading uses black ( 40% opacity ) with a paintbrush

Very nice Crofty, your improving, I like the colours used in shading, is it a sort of prehistoric theme?

I just google searched

FInal Fantasy Concept Art

And it was named 'lizard' , the shading. All i done was draw a dot in the corner, so i can remember where the light comes from.

I think it's not the best sketch to color, since the lines isn't that massive, there is a few fadings, but I think that you have done quite a good job on this one, the ony thing is the edges, and that's the sketch, not your coloring ^^ keep the good work up!
