Digital Painting Mecha Robot modify work in process

Labels:

Digital Painting Mecha Robot modify work in process. I am trying to put the mech I paint a while back for full feature tutorial in to the scene and make it more presentable rather just a mech stand alone concept.

Hey folks, it's been a little while since I updated, been busy with painting, tutorials, and life stuff. Anyhow,...this post I am putting the figure in the environmental. It usually help bringing out more of its characteristic, and the world they suppose to be in.

Right now I am trying to find the way to get the water to look right. It's kind of tricky. Just a quick update. More are coming up. :)

You can go here and see step by step process on the previous post; Mecha Robot concept art update . It shows from the beginning until how I get here.

Also if you are interested in drawing and painting Mecha Robot, these video tutorials, Drawing Mech or Mecha Tutorial (this one show quick sketch and painting mecha, kinda cool. One of my better ones). And this video, Concept tutorial Drawing Giant Mech, also pretty similar to the first one in regard of painting process. Digital drawing tutorial Mech soldier is different experimental painting video that I use different approach, get different result than usual.
Also you can just look up on top and see if there is any thumbnail you like and click to see the video.

Figure study painting with light and form high contrast

Labels:

Figure study painting with light and form high contrast (Chiaroscuro study).

Here another quick painting sketch figure or female anatomy study. I did the previous study Figure Study female form step by step about a week or two ago. This one is a bit different because it didn't focus on the form as much. It's more of creating a form according to the light source or painting from light study. If you notice the higher contrast (Chiaroscuro = light VS dark) within the form, the more interesting the painting become. High contrast lighting set up can create very high visual impact on the figure because your eyes are trying to figure out pieces of puzzle together.

Chiaroscuro itself is Italian, and roughly means, “light and dark.” It was first used to describe a type of drawing on medium-dark paper where the artist created both darker areas with ink and lighter areas with white paint.

Since I didn't record this session, you might be interested in Video tutorial on the similar painting study approach here. Go watch Digital painting female character red, digital painting tutorial sleeping beauty and this one is not that far off, but a bit cartoonist Drawing Tutorial Zombie ninja character

If you just start out studying figure, I would strongly advice you to go watch How to draw female body torso step by step (Easy lesson on how to draw and construct a body in the simple way for beginner.) and how to draw woman figure hip pelvis (This one I show the simple way to draw pelvis, butts, and legs). There are also figure in simple form using lines or what we called gestures figures video tutorial and learn how to draw woman proportion sheet.

And for head or face drawing tutorial go to How to draw man's head basic and Draw and render human head with different light sources. (This one is a little more challenging with different light source hit the face)
After all that you can go watch more advance stuff like Character Design Face Male Merchant Character, or Drawing Male Face Swordman and Learn how to draw and paint face. If you watch all these videos, I am sure you will learn something here and there and they will get you somewhere.

As for male figure drawing tutorial you can go watch Drawing body muscle torso anatomystep by step and video. Then Drawing arm muscles bicep tricep video is one of many readers favorite video. Enjoy the videos and hopefully you can get something good from them.

Female figures study, some quick drawing and render.

This batch of sketch I did study over female with more muscular figures but still convey the femininity, in other word, they are not too overly buffed up. They are still pretty in the athletic way. And forget those faces in the set, they won't done up. I was doing quick sketches for all and observe the figures. :)
I did these a little while back, I thought I already post them on the site. But apparently I was either getting old or too busy juggling stuffs around and drawing at the same time.

Well, not much time today...I just want to do a quick post.

Digital Painting Tutorial Rogue Samurai Work in progress

Digital Painting Tutorial Rogue Samurai Work in progress.

Learn to Draw sketch and digital paint over a Comics style woman, female samurai or swordsman, girl female character design, sketch, illustration for manga, comics, anime free web step by step and video tutorial.

This new step by step tutorial is a work over the old drawing of mine. It was a drawing tutorial I made a year ago I think. Now I am slowly picking some of the old sketch, drawing or concept that are worthy of going all the way to possibly finish stage using variety of method or style.
It's a good exercise for once in a while you should pick some of your older work and upgrade it or redo it totally (if the idea was great but bad execution). But this rogue samurai sketch is alright to begin with so I am just going to paint over the sketch and take it to the finish line, hopefully.

So basically I am focusing on repaint her face and tighten or clean up the rest of the environmental background.
Also, there is no painting video, just step by step. :) I need to step up a few knots and get better as a painter, most of the time recording can be very distracting. I want to be able to think, analyze, and observe the work without putting in any brush stroke during the course. Which often take as much time as actual painting itself. So... :) Thinking and planing is hard.

You can also watch these tutorials for learning how to render face (for basic structure from start to finish) Character Design Face Male Merchant Character, Character design sketch villain or Drawing Male Face Swordman and Learn how to draw and paint face. They might be what you are looking for.

For beginers and basic lesson on how to constructed (draw) a face. Then these tutorial will guild you to a basic how to: How to draw lesson girl face, How to draw person head basic and Draw and render human head with different light sources. (These two are a little more basic)

Here is Rogue Sword Girl so far (WIP)

How to draw Fantastic 4 Susan Storm comics girl

Labels:

Learn How to draw Fantastic 4 Susan Storm comics girl video and step by step tutorial. Learn how to draw comics female characters #001

It's been a while since I did a sketch tutorial video on woman drawing. Since I've been doing many comics superheroes sketches so I thought I should do the girl's version of video also. My first pick is Susan Storm from Fantastic 4 comics. It was the first American superheroes team comics I read when I was a kid (well, other than Batman, Superman and the Hulk). Anyway enjoy the tutorial.

A bit about character. Susan Storm is the first female superhero created by Marvel in the Silver Age of Comics. She's also known as Invisible Girl and later, Invisible Woman. Susan is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superheroine created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #1 in November 1961, and like the other founding members of the Fantastic Four, Sue received her powers after being exposed to a cosmic storm. Her primary power deals with light waves, allowing her to render herself and others invisible. However, she can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic energy which she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects.

*She's also an object of infatuation for Doctor Doom, and, most notably, Namor the Sub-Mariner.

If you are a beginner and just stumble upon this blog, go watch these basic video tutorials: How to draw lesson girl face, How to draw person head basic and Draw and render human head with different light sources. (These two are a little more basic)
As for basic figure or body tutorial, you should go watch the following, How to draw female body torso step by step (Easy lesson on how to sketch and draw a body in the very easy basic way that works.), and how to draw woman figure hip pelvis (Similar the the previous, this is a basic way to draw pelvis, butts, and legs that will lead to advance form). There are also figure in simple form using lines or what we called gestures figures video tutorial and learn how to draw woman character sheet.


If you are looking for more tutorials on superhero to draw we have recently uploaded these videos on how to draw comics so go watch How to draw comics superhero spiderman, and my How to draw comics character Hulk, it also has coloring or paint over tutorial. Also the new arrival video tutorial, How to draw Captain America. And an older video tut, How to draw Batman or Darknight.
