With the recent progression of my illustrations I felt my process was too slow and clunky....especially involving COLOR. So last night I scripted up illustration process and today I enacted my evil plan:
- concept
- thumbnails
- final sketch
- scan
- "marker" outline pencil drawing
- Do several color comps on the value pencil drawing
- Finalize colors (simplify)
- Build pallette of colors. (3 values for each color: light, local color, dark)
- Paint
- Finilize painting.
None of the process is exceptionally special or secret...it is just what speaks to me best!
I did this illustration in 3 hours, actually less than 3. It is not meant to be perfect and/or complete...more of a test to see how close I could get something done with this method while still looking professional in 3 hours.
Part of my new process was to FURTHER control color by having a limited palette. This method really really worked for me.
Anyway off I got to WATCH Miyazaki's new MOVIE! The last time was Ponyo and that came out about the same time I started this blog. Its been awhile... I most likely will do a post on my thoughts.
note: I left the illustration large so you can see the texture and painter quality I have been working towards.
