2 hr. Photoshop Bonanza

ok so here is my 2 hr drawing for the topic that jeff and Candice came up with. I guess it was just supposed to Cryptic but i did not know that till i was done. I have to say even-though the anatomy is off it turned out pretty good for the time i had

Robo Girl... Idk?

this is the one i don't really like

This is the one I like more
The more i tried the technique with the reflective quality the more i realized i set my self up for disaster using skin tones and making her look like a person. Every time i tied to make it look reflective (witch skin is not) it turned out looking like i just used a filter in photoshop to overlay the image. I grayed up the skin and it helped a little but i still like it as just a simple portrait more then a robot character witch is what i was going for at the start.

Day 2 w.i.p.

Ok so i worked some more on rendering the figure. I also laid down the base metal for the shirt. I do have one question... dose the same password work for all the tutorials? I tried using the digstudio password to watch one of the tutorials but it said it was the wrong password. i even tried copying and pasting the password in. Anyway placing the reflection is pretty much all i have left to do. I say that but i am sure i will spend all weekend working on it in other spots as well

Robo Girl

K so i spent tall of yesterday working on ideas and got nothing. So i started working today on a portrait and thought of a way to incorporate what the reflective quality of Donato's robot into my portrait. Right now all i really have is the portrait part mostly rendered but i plan on making the cloths into the reflective metal to make a cyborg look to her.

Study #1

For my first study i found a pice by Donato Giancola Called Earth to Universe. I really like the reflective quality of the metal and though it would be a fun piece to do to start off.

This is my study This is the original

Digital Studio Techniques

ok well here goes round two of this class. i felt like i grew so much from taking this last summer that i wanted to do it again. Last time i feel like i focused alot on figure and portraits and i would like to continue with that but i would like to try my hand at some environmental paintings this summer as well. I have spent this alot of off time collecting images that i have wanted to do studies off of and incorporate them into my work but felt i was always lacking time. Now i feel like i am going to have that chance.

I also thought i could work with trying to get a digital inking style down this summer. I have talked to several members of comic book club and we have a idea of a super hero comic books series we would like to put together. So doing studies will help in that project then it gets rolling.

Also Jeff and I were talking about having a illustration battle competition as some of you already know. We were talking about giving each round a short deadline so it would simulate having to do rush jobs. In turn i am starting tomorrow going to try and do at least two 2 hour paintings done a week on top of the master study and the original project.

I realize this is alot to do in a short weeks time but it can only help and i am ready to get this party started
