Wa. I retouch the image again. Cant stand the roughness of the other piece

old works

Finally back.

Okay, I'm away for a well, still drawing. I decide to made a video of my painting process. More will come. Do add me to your favourite.

Color temperature. Studies

Luckily i manage to save a psd file before it crash~ this piece, i just enjoying myself. Learn some great tool. Oh.. the hair is tool low poly so the effect is not very nice but the concept is there. Finally manage to do statue hair. Still feel quite bumpy in some area.

Freaky scary head. lol.. 40minute? I started out as zshpere. I failed becos I dont have enough supporting reference and i jumped into detailing and polishing too much~ especially the eye. And becos i am sick for these few days~ I hardly can do anything. Rest on my bed whole day~ I'm giving myself an excuse. lol

Ref link: http://gnomonology.com/tutorial/221 . A model orginal from Ralf Stumpf. I love the hard edges look. Very cartoon look 35 minute speed modeling. My side view.. So ugly nvm.

Hands~ 45 minute~ what! so long~ That mean that i am really weak with hands~ Seriously this is my first time sulpting hand~ Fixed some contour and the shape of the thumb is really weird at this point of time. Sigh. I think I will redo a new one tml.

this is a study of Ralf Stumpf's zbrush toon skill. I have fun with this. Toon make me happy :D

today got inspire by some wonderful scuplture. I found that giving urself a time limit is important. within this time limit what are you going to achieve. if it suck at the first time, it will be better the next time. I Believe this. This is my first time, so i didnt time myself. just have a rough idea how long it take. Now i may took an hour retopo(look like crap right now) and after experience gain it will took lesser time. Perhaps i am escaping and not willing to face the fact that my 3d skill suck~ I should have find some topogology reference before i even start.. Wrong topo at mouth area~

this guy is simply talented. the stroke are very messy yet u can see the form very well.the light is shining from the top and the area is a little spoky. I can confirm at he started in gray scale. This time i chosen a easier one, hope will learn some great skill.
okay. found new clues again. when i zoom in. the brush is really soild. start with a base and start to fill in the brightest light. He is definitely using some flat brush. with opacity control. I zoom in and did a small area and i manage to get quite close.

3ominuteI am learning so copying is okay. as long i dont claim that it is mine. Okay this is an excellence picture i saw in cgtalk. The stroke is so fast and the mood is excellent. I decide to give it a try. Okay, there is quite a lot of hard edge brush going on, have to do some testing first. Very little texture is used.The first forcus is the red ship and then to the centre, then to the top.
Argh... I feel so confident at first... but i fall to crack his technique. Review: i think i still dont get it. I think he start with background base color. midtone, blocking out shape,highlight, then shadow. then touch up edges. Brush stroke. the edges look soild. i dont think he use any opacity. Try harder next time. sob.

Wo, i love this scene. Although surrounding is just building and rocks. okay i did this in gray scale and overlay with textures. Well, i was thinking what's speed painting. Speed painting = training able to paint a nice picture in a short amount of time. I start out painting the background then gradually build towards the front. I realise some mistake i made while doing this painting. Next time remember to separate the light and shadow as separate layers. so that texturing job will be easier later on. Avoid blending next time. Definitely better then the one i did on june 28

Classic piece

Argh... Didnt manage to do any painting yesterday. busy with my freelance work. Doing some web design. But manage to find some time to surf deviantart and found some wonderful images to study.

Before start studies. The light is coming from her left top. This piece is in montone. The darkest value is only around 70%?

Times up, while actually i over shot the time. 45min for this. I think i spent too much time. I didnt manage to polish the arm shadow. Some dark corner not done. I guess i just into detailing again.

Before I start any drawing, I will make some observerion on the drawing. Okay. This is a interior room, the light source is coming from their left, becos as u can see there is strong shadow on the right. Base tone I will start using a greenish color tone. After 35 minute painting review: Dont talk about accuraccy I need to add more highlight on the face. Darker shading needed for the cloth.

35minute. Enjoying. Used layers. Fill with base tone from the sky. build from back to from, makes it easier i guess. Masking for the trees. Final touch up with layer overlay make a difference.

30 minute up~ nothing impressive again. I'll work on the values and more detail for the next piece.

Finally is weekend. I can do my stuff which i enjoyed most. didnt do any painting for quite long and depressed for quite some time. 30 minutes speed drawing, nonthing impressive. I can said that i am enjoying
