BTS: April Showers Pin-Up 4 Making Of
🕑 Added 2019-05-11 11:59:32 +0000 UTCFor my $10--the making of the latest pinup. Roughs above, cleaned up pencils below. These phases were done in Autodesk Sketchbook, which thankfully added a perspective tool to its IOS version this week. I used that for the rain this time around.
Inks. The rain is on separate layers above and below the inks layer.
Shared this before, but including it for completeness--a tone grey foundation for the flat colors.
The flat colors, and, added on a mostly separate layer, effects for the transformation. On the flats layer I used Leah's human skintone for the skin and her werewolf fur color for the hair. On the effects layer I added I added the wolf's dark warm gray skin tone with a combination of the pencil tool and the airbrush tool at 67%, and then Leah's blonde at the tips of the reddish brown hair. I added more reddish brown over the skin to show the fur growing in. I then sampled the combined, "transitional" skin tone and applied it at 50% opacity with the airbrush to her skirt to add that wet, semi transparent look,
Renders. I used cool gray tones to match the rainy, nighttime environment.
The nighttime backdrop. I used the "night" blue color sampled from a copic palette as a base, then the same color set to multiply for an overlay to make it darker. I used a large pencil tool and made vertical passes to match the direction of the rain.
Some added lighting and ambiance to create a stronger sense of night. Also some highlights to add to her wet appearance.
Finally some added raindrops on her body to show she's really getting drenched. I'd say the rain has picked up intensity since the change started. I've left the layer palette open in this screenshot so you can see all the layers. The finished hi-res piece will be posted soon!
