Artist Comment
A behind the scene look of how I generate my picture. If you have any advice on how I can improve, please feel free to tell me. I would like to improve my process. Thank you.
I'm posting this to answer questions by those that wonder how an image goes from pencil to CG.
--Character Design--
>First I pencil the shapes and structure of my image. I start to finalize the image, but I leave all lines, so
it's a mess. (Not Shown)
>Next, I apply a new sheet of paper over the image on my lighted table and trace the lines with a pen. I can change
and finalize lines as I wish. I can also drastically change objects and fix errors in this stage too.
>I can finish here and scan or I can plan out the color formation if I'm not lazy (Shown)
>Then I use PS tools to clean up my image into crisp black lines. (There are tutorials out there for doing
this)
>I start by coloring the base colors, and add different layers of shadows and highlights as my color plan tells
me.
>After I have the hair colored I start to blend the lines into the hair. The color lines make for a
'softer' natural look ^_^. I also blend here and there depending on what I want.
>At this stage, I start to inspect the image, and fix anything I want to fix.
>Finally, I add lighting, accessories (sword), and effects as necessary.
>I output my image to generate the wall.
>Wallpaper tutorials are out there
^_^
