DRAWING AND PAINT

Mecha Mega Robot update almost done!

Mecha Mega Robot update almost done!

Here is the 4th of the Mecha MEGA Robot visual character concept art process UPDATE (there are previously posted of part 1: Mecha Robot step by step drawing, part2 Painting Mech process tutorial and part 3 Giant Robot drawing and painting process). I try as much as I can to finish it up this weekend but unfortunately...I can only find a few hours to play with it. I amped up the Machine gun, changed and tweak the design a little bit on the bottome half. It's been a really fun session creating mech since I haven't really done a full launched Mecha in a long while. A few more painted session then I think I will call it done.

ART tips: Talent is often overrated, and often deceive you. Whether you have it or not, forget that it's there. Practice, practice, and practice is only one sure way I know will make me the better artist.

Here are step by step recap

1) Thumbnail...(do about 8-10 then pick one)


2) Flesh your thumbnail out a bit


3)


4)


5)


6)At this stage, I start blocking in basic values/color


So here we go, painting big shapes...


This is zoom in, you can see scribble lines everywhere. :P





Then I changed the rocket launchers to twin vents.... so it fits. :)
