So this is the continuance of the previous post.
I thought I'd submit the coloured one before, but then I was affected by the submitted works of friends (it resulted me being late at submitting this assignment) and put some shades on them by making a new layer and used grey for the shades layer.
After that, I placed the coloured layer above the shade layer and put the layer on the mode [Overlay] so that the colour and the shade could merge together.
Then I did the same to the second character with less complicated shading since I don't have much experience shading character with such features.
For the girl, I put the colour layer in [Linear Light] mode as [Overlay] layer makes it look quite dark.
For the last character, I used the [Overlay] mode for the colour layer again. So this marks the end of this post as this state of drawing is how I submitted for this assignment.
I enjoyed drawing these characters, I really do even though it is way far different from what I usually draw. I don't have much hope for this assignment so I plan to do better next time.
Have a good day !
The next assignment is quite challenging since we have to draw a cartoon character based on basic shapes such as circle, square and rectangle. For my assignment, I chose two triangles, a circle (not quite) and a rectangle.
And so I did actually started the assignment by drawing the shapes as my earliest sketch. After that, I tried putting on limbs and such to make it more human-like, and yes, I don't prefer to draw animals.
So this is my rough sketches painfully made from the shapes. It doesn't look all that complicated but it serves as a challenge to me nevertheless as I've never done such a thing like drawing people from shapes. It's a good kind of change once in a while.
After that I started to do the lineart of the sketches. Some don't end up like how they were initially planned to be but I tried to make do with what I could muster up from my inability to make a drawing I'm satisfied with.
So this is how it looks like without the sketch
layer.
Then I put some character colours on them. The left-most looks brave and has the look of a typical main character of certain stories, so red suits him just right. The second from left looks like a fat but cheerful kind of person so yellow kind of suits his character. The second from right is made to look like a girl with a good-natured smile and temper, sort of like those who gives you the calm feeling when you look at them so green is my choice. Lastly, I give blue to the right-most for his lankiness and how he looks awkward most of the time, how he is not known for easily getting angry, some sort of a bullied character.
Because of some technical reasons, I'll continue on the second post of this assignment progress.
