This character design started as a pencil sketch. It has scanned, coloured in Photoshop.
I have been doing a lot of work straight onto the computer using the Wacom tablet (I’m fortunate enough to have got my hands on the Intuos 3) so this was the first sketch I had done on paper for awhile. After blocking out the basic colour I have added three light sources. Then use a photo of rusty metal to texture him up. He is still quite loose and has been produced fairly quickly, half a day on the colouring and the sketch maybe took a couple of hours, but my sketching is progressive so it’s always hard to say that you finished a sketch in an hour, in actual fact elements of the pic have been popping up in your sketch pad for weeks. Still going to tighten him up a little and maybe get one of the blades spinning.
Any way, love to know what people think and where I can or should take it from here.
Cheers RLyons.
