開課喇~~

期待已久的插畫班終於開課了，剛剛的星期五上了第一堂，是教用炭筆畫人形公仔。以上是我的習作，原來畫炭筆畫都很有趣呢！不過弄得手很髒......但我是不會因些被難到的，我要繼續努力！！

向大師學習

這是向風景畫大師Levitan學習的模仿練習。大約用了2小時。我畫風景比較弱，實在要多加練習才行！！


(下面是原作)

再練習！

再練習！再練習！

最近發現 Concept Art forum 有個叫 sketch book 的很有用，有很多大師的 sketch，精彩！！

Speed painting

WARNING: Artistic Nude Content

這是有參考相的快速練習，在1.5小時內完成。

網站大更新！！

今天決心搞好本網站！把之前黑色為主的調子改成鮮明的亮調色。但始終覺得欠缺了一點東西，我想應該是差個版頭繪，所以花了几小時畫好這幅畫。這個用來做版頭繪，一點都不失禮吧！

造型練習

這是我平時做的一些造型練習。每幅所用的時間不用多，只要掌握主要的形塊即可。

Figure drawing

WARNING: Artistic Nude Content

In past few weeks, I practice my human anatomy knowledges. This is the road to be hardcore painter!! And then I've made this drawing. The face is inspired by a lovely girl I saw yesterday^^

Trap Beauty

I've finally upgraded by Photoshop from 7.0 to CS3. This is a big upgrade. Obviously, CS is much much better in usage. As to give it a try, I paint this cg in CS instead of Painter which I used to. The feeling is pretty good. And the lovely brush hardness setting did help so much. Great!

For this cg, she is not human, she some kind of rare species. She is now being trapped. Hope that someone could save her..

Standing at the Wind

This one is painted in Painter, and final touch up in Photoshop. I've paid great attention while painting the skin, and picking the color for the skin tone. And I've also try a new method to do the eyes. It's important to bring soul for the character.

Meanwhile, during the period of making this paint, I'm glad to know that there is CG competition in Singapore in June. So, I planned to submit this work. However, I think that I could do better, maybe I should make another paint for the submission..

みずぎがすきですか

このむすめはみずぎをきています。

This drawing actually start earlier than my previous post. However, I'm not satisfied at the middle stage and on hold for a while. And now, I've returned on it by toning the color in Photoshop first. I'm just getting a more healthy skin tone for her. Then I feel that I could finish it up. And so, this is.

Enjoy!!

A quick drawing

This is quite a quick drawing in my speed. I usually make a picture with long time. But this drawing just used a bit short of time compare with my other drawings. However, I found that the feeling is quite well, and I love to paint easily.

CG "音响舞動"

OK. It's done!! I made a kind of graphic-design-like background with some curve line flow and rainbow, to express the music feeling.

So, that's the first finished CG in my blog. Hope you like it!! Enjoy~

CG "音响舞動" Work Flow 04

Then I do the color of the headset. It work quite good. Given it some metal-look. The whole painting process is down to detail. More detail will make the char more concreted.

And I found that the skin tone is a bit boring. So I added a new layer in multiple to create a shadow with other hue. I love to see it look like a real skin!!

And then the MP3 in her hand is done. The cable is done by pen tool in Photoshop. So the work is almost done~~

CG "音响舞動" Work Flow 03

I'm not quite satisfied with the originally designed color. So I've changed most of them. And added more shadow among the skin, cloth, hair... I've also added a background to help define the overall tone better.

The hair shading have changed a few times. Finally I used a more realistic style for the hair to match the other parts better.

And then continue shading...

CG "音响舞動" Work Flow 02

這是在photoship中把不同的部份分成不同的圖層layers (eg. 皮膚、頭髮、上衣...)，並填上基本的固有色，再定出最基本的光暗。之後便是漫長的上色作業了...

CG "音响舞動" Work Flow 01

這是吾製作中的作品，用painter打草稿(見下圖)，試驗了多少線條組合之後，決定採用這舞動少女的形象。

既然是舞動，最好當然有音樂吧！吾覺得headset跟這女孩正好配合，但是剛開始畫的headset實在太簡陋了，所以到了弄outline的時候便把這part重畫，感覺比較好了~ (左：完成了outline階段的圖)

順道一提，這是畫這一類型cg的重要技巧：就是在outline階段把所有要/想要修改的地方都改好，之後上色的時候便能夠免卻很多麻煩。

(什麼？"這一類型cg"是啥意思？就是這種先勾線outline，之後把不同部位分成不同圖層layers，再在不同的layers上色。請留意以後的blog，應該會有更多的描繪~)

A cg tutorial from CGSociety

I have not visited CGSociety for sometimes. So I’ve missed this artical and just saw it yesterday. Details as below,

CGSociety :: Tutorial
24 October 2007, by Marta Dahlig
Marta Dahlig takes us through the creation of the EXOTIQUE 3 cover image.
Marta Dahlig’s gorgeous ‘Umbrella Sky’ image was unanimously chosen for the cover of Ballistic Publishing’s EXOTIQUE 3, and after submitting, Marta continued to improve on perfection. Here, she takes us through her process of building on a dream.

Visit it!

It is a cg tutorial by Marta, who is really skillful with computer graphic. The painter shared the brushes used in Photoshop. Seems that no need to use so many brushes already can do a dramatic texture.

After reading it, I indeed want to make a blog to write something about CG, and also share some of my works. This is the birth of this blog!
