Two more illustrations, two more to go...

Monday, January 11, 2016

I've just committed the stupidest mistake in the novices book of illustrators: I ran with my first idea before thinking it through.
The result: I'm stuck working on the wrong characters, with the wrong colors, I know it's a mistake but I can't change anything because it's not my project and the "client" is already fixed on the idea.
And all I'm thinking is: blah! Nice attiude to work with, ha?

Sketch

From The hobbit BotFA EE appendix.

Aichard Armitage (Thorin) being fitted for his armor. It's just too cool not to draw.

He looks like an actual king...

Thorin Oakenshield Fanart For the Kiddo

My older son underwent a minor surgery and had to stay at home for a few days. As a motherly instinct, I felt need to over-coddle him. So one of the presents I gave him is this drawing of Thorin Oakenshield, printed on a t-shirt.

On the making of this drawing:

1) I studied a screen capture from The Hobbit AUJ for gesture reference. I couldn't find the exact pose that I wanted to draw, so I used my new knowledge from illustration classes to draw a gesture from a different angle.

2) I battled with coloring the thing (...), and decided to lasso every part and paint bucket it, adding highlight and shadow later on a different layer.

3) The background picture for the text is actually a painting of the Lonely Mountain I made a few months ago. I didn't want to use any copyrighted material.
