Personal improvement

For this week, I really havn't had a clear idea of what i'm going to focus on because I think there is far too much for me to improve on. I decided to kill my soul some more and watch more Feng Zhu tutorials and videos in some of the different areas that I wanted to improve in. I've watched some vehicle tutorials, landscape, anatomy and some traditional techniques that he shares. They are all bloody amazing and he uses some fantastic techniques which are very simply and effective that I think I can use in my own pieces.

I'm not sure if I will have anything to show that will be finished this week but I will try to get something up hopefully but the whole finish the game for the vertical slice has delayed me quite substantially so i'm not promising anything but I will try.

Mid teleportation...

I've not yet finished this piece yet, I got very tired the last few days. It's getting there but I would like to finish this as I think the finished piece would be quite good. I hate the smoke that i've done at the minute so i'll re-do it later.

This is the finished piece. I really like this and how it has turned out. The smoke looks really good and I think I got the shade right on him so that he pops out well. The face is more recognisable now as well so it stands out more that it did before. Overall, I think this piece turned out really well and I am really happy with it.

Nightcrawler

I'm a bit excited about this brief, Nightcrawler is a cool character to draw. I have an idea of what i'm going to draw. I might do him jumping out of the smoke from the bottom of the page, similar to the bottom left image on the board but different (obviously).

To be continued.....

 Getting there...

 This is as far as it's getting tonight. It's been far too tedious to complete, going back and forth between the layers and seeing what things he's done to them. It looks pretty cool though, i'm quite pleased with how it looks at the minute but yeah...needs to be finished though.

Just a thing that happened on one of the layers which I liked so thought i'd share.

The story so far...

 We start this story with the silhouette quick base which I didn't think looked right and so I started it again.

 I thought this one had more of the pose and proportions right compared to the other one and so continued.

 I added the details to it and kept building to it.

 I finished the silhouette but not too pleased with it, but it'll have to do.

 Adding the colour and following the tutorial and photoshop files was a bit annoying but I prevailed.

I then added the glow to it and am now continuing this piece as we speak (or finished it if you're reading this a day or two after this has been posted).

Copying Bobby Chiu (The most boring voice in the world)

I'm not gonna lie. I didn't watch the video or look at the layers. I got 15 minutes into the video and I wanted to kill myself. The guys voice is soooooo boring, its unreal. I just went straight into doing the 720x600 piece because I only started it today so I didn't want to waste my time doing the other things. It took a long time to do, but i'm actually really happy with how this turned out even if it was copying someone else's drawing.
