Practice Practice

Suits Variations

 Spent this week working on technique.  Looking at some different approaches to get a cleaner finish and setting a work flow up to allow easy editing.  Also looking at material rendering and to that end did this study of a hockey goalie pad from photo reference.

Got to spend more time than usual on this one.  Was toying with joining the artstation challenge beyond human in the environment category but was too late to to get the required 2 submissions ready in time.

I was watching on of Bjorn Hurris 30 minute warm ups on Twitch and he showed a trick he uses to draw tubing easily using the stroke effects layer.  I was playing around with it and then started overlaying the effect and thought it looks a lot like etching.  I made this little guy using it.


The image below is a study from a photo just to get some practice a subtler transitions in colour /value to indicate form.

I started out with the grey scale sketch and then photo bashed through the middle of this then over painted.  I think I needed the textures to move it along but I liked the mood in the sketch.  [Edited: first post I had forgot the all important exhaust].

This one started out as some photobashing for an environment.  I like the complicated nonsense thats in this.
