Hi everyone, these days i`ve been at home, well somewhere i moved out from my apartment and stuff, and i was looking through my "LDH" archives and i had a lot of unfinished pieces, but i really don`t feel comfortable with that style anymore, so i decided to change it a bit, add more texture and volume, and details, etc.
And i finally had the chance to use one of the sketches i made this year: http://themustachelady.blogspot.com/2012/01/working-on-new-stuff.html the giraffe one :)
As someone told me my screen caps weren`t enough, i`m going to post a bunch of my digital painting process for this giraffe, but this is just for this style, depending on which line i`m working on, my digital painting process is different.
Here i am tracing the giraffe in Adobe Illustrator:
Basic painting in Photoshop:
Started giving it texture:
Then i used the picture of a giraffe for color reference:
Here is the basic giraffe finished:
Then i made pearl by pearl because i wanted the order uneven:
And this is a (cool XD) sketch of the position and details i wanted for the doll, i already had her very clear in my mind i just needed a size and position reference:
Working on the face:
Finished doll:
Working on the scenario:
Then i felt that i needed to add that flag somewhere because i have made it already:
Finished piece:
I kind of like it, it`s very high res in every detail but the quality here looks a bit off :s but click the picture and watch it in full size in Flickr
Hope you like it :)
