DESIGN A CHARACTER CONTEST - WEEK 6 - SHAPE CHALLENGE (ENTRY)

COVER DESIGN A CHARSHAPE 6 copy.jpg

Shape Challenge ContestThis is my entry post for @w0olf's

Medium: Digital Art (Photoshop CS6)

Sketching:

I didn't really know what to draw at first. As soon as I started to sketch the first empty shape, it was like putting together pieces of a picture puzzle. A smug rhino came out of it. At that point I just decided, "I'm drawing animals for the next two shapes!". Then a proud rooster came out, followed by a silly croc.

Inking:

I made a few changes from the original idea of my rough sketch. The most obvious part was the rooster head. You can see the changes that I made in the picture above ↑ and below ↓. This often happens when you work your inking onto a loose sketch like this.

When the inking process is done, I hid my sketch layer to reveal my final line drawing.

Coloring:

I silhouetted each drawings with three different flat colors as the base for the next step of the process.

Applied color details + light and dark values onto the color silhouttes.

Colored the outlines to lighten the harshness of my thick ink and my work is done! :)

This is such a good exercise to hone your drawing skill especially in character design. What a fun challenge! :D

Happy to see you participating again this week!Haha this is such a great entry @orenisme!! :D

Thank you @w0olf! It’s my pleasure to participate and my loss to have missed them.

Wow! These are amazing! Love the detail in these!
The chicken doing a cannonball is my favorite, although they are all amazing. :D

Thank you! Now that you mentioned it, it does look like he’s doing a cannonball. :)

These are really great and this is an amazing challenge. I like they supply the shape and you imagine the character within that? Genius. That croc makes me smile, he's my favourite I think. This might be a fun contest to try. I'll have a think on this one.

Yes, the shapes were supplied so the challenge was to figure out the best way to fit a character design into each of them. I highly recommend that you should try this! Thank you. :)

Oh wow, these are great! The detail is awesome and how you used the shapes is very clever!

Thank you @renascence! It was really a fun challenge, figuring out how to fit each shape with a character was the best part of it. :D

Wahhh... Ini sudah lawan tokey!... hahaha!

Great job! Grats @orenisme ... This is insanely awesomee!

I wouldn’t get this far if it weren’t for you and @perennial. So, THANK YOU! For both of you.

So polished! It'd be also nice to see a version of these three outside the outlines (though still maintaining their basic shapes). Love the work!

Yes, I was thinking to put them in a scene with backgrounds and all. But my time was limited, I got a few other works laying around that needed to be done. Thank you! :)

Nicely done.. u r my inspiration kawan..

terima kasih kawan. 😊

Awesome! This reminds me of a webtoon I once read about how the newer gens pokemon got created. Basically they just ask kids to scribble random lines on a paper, later the designer will make something out of them until it becomes a pokemon 😂

Thank you @harythilmy. Wow! Never heard about that, unconventional but pretty legit though. 😅

Eh I was describing the webtoon, not the actual process. Of course the webtoon is a joke 😆

Owh! Ok, I missed the webtoon part. Lol!

wow! Unbelievable!:)) I think it's a difficult task but you did great!:)

Thank you, Loved the challenge! The harder the better. :)

Wow! Such lovely little fellas :)

Thank you :)

NICE WORK!! Absolutely love it!!
