Artist's Comments

I have been asked to do a tutorial before..this is pretty close without the marker details..so i thought i would share for those that are interested..


1. Layout sketch/idea sketch
2. Tight sketch cleaned up and ready for coloring
3. First layer of under drawing using various shades of gray(warmer tones). As well has the cool under shadows on the face. Nice and tight in detail as this is the main focus.
4. background under drawing. Not as tight to give a slight depth of field effect. Nor are the shadows as dark as the foreground subject. (cooler gray tones)
5. color layer blended on top of the under drawing.
6. final piece after it has had a round in Photoshop for the finishing touches.

It's the wood that should fear your hand, not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it, you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin. ~Pai Mei: Kill Bill

WOW, I was looking at your two posts on CAF with this piece and was wondering how you did it all. I guess some prayers ARE answered lol. This is really cool and I thank you for giving some background on the process with this. Very interesting how it all came together. I'm STILL having trouble trying to get that area where you have to piece sections together, to not look so... ';partial' and like you pieced an image together.

I take it, this wasn't done on 2.5 x 3.5 either... I was going to freak if that was the case lol.

no..this piece was 12" x 18" I had to scan it in pieces
