DRAWING AND PAINT

Here is another quick speedpainting step by step how to. This one takes me about an hour and a half. I actually start one zombie before this one, but it didn't turn out well. So I throw it away and start new one from scratch.

This speed painting, what I am trying to achieve most is the mood of the piece and play around with lighting that was lid from behind the character.

The process is very familiar to you guys already if you are frequent visitors to my blog. I started off with, first, scribble construction lines to find pose, figure and composition. Then I turned those lines into shapes and rearrange to make the shapes more interesting to look at. And from those shapes, I then pick the light source and start to establish basic values. From that point on, you can just keep working in monochromatic until you get to the point that you are confident enough to introduce your second colors and so on. Then keep the temperature of the piece harmonize, as well as color in balance between cool and warm.

This is actually one of the panel of the horror story I am working on, see More Walking Dead Zombies, How to draw Zombie digital painting, and female character design sketch.  Yes, all these three post I mentioned are related into my horror story line or at least I hope eventually so.  I am trying to make it as quick as I can but I keep get distracted from many things. It's that time of the year, holiday is coming up. There are so many distractions but I will try to keep update as many time as I can. Have fun with the tutorial.
