Result of todays painting stream (8 hours 😱), thanks all for popping past and keeping me company 😅 https://t.co/DqV1jj3r29 can’t wait to finish this one up 🕺
Goin live right now, colouring this stylized character in photoshop https://t.co/UHPFi3GTeg, come hang out and sling some pixels with me ✌️
6/9 🧵 The pose was too stiff, so I changed it...3/4 of the way through 🙄 something that could have been avoided at the sketch/ideation stage
3/9 🧵 Likeness is fookin hard. Stylized likeness is even fookin harder. And often takes (me) a lot of attempts to get it feeling ok.
2/9 🧵 When I stylize and exaggerate I generally like to base this on some inkling of reality.
11/14 Oh jeez, these tattoos are going to take a while... tossing up between having them more implied vs more accurate, I'll get a better idea as I add some colour.
I've adujusted some of the local values (lighter skin) and added these tattoos on a separate multiply layer.
8/14 Now the line work is kind of where I want it, I've blocked in a base value to use as a clipping mask as I begin to add values and colour 🎨
I also like to knock down the white of the bg to help me judge my values 👀
A little spidey painting (full sketch note dropping soon with reference and Breakdowns 📝 ) but for now the time-lapse and line-work are below 👇 1/4 🧵
