To start off i would like to respond to prof. Babcock question on my last entry. With this piece i was looking all the reflectiveness of the latex the shine of the hair and the shin the skin. I was also looking at the over all style of the artist. Serge Birault is really great at making cartoon versions of people. The image i am posting is the start of my attempting to copy his process as he explains it in Imagine FX's march 2010 issue
Ok, good. I am going to guess that it will all start with a really good value study. You can then copy that value layer and reuse it several ways like having only the lightest parts of it blend with the other layers. I will look up Serge Birault and see if I can get a better sense of his body of work. Is the FX article online or subscription only?
