ABOUT COllaboration & trades

 

Artists who inspired you?

 I'm not sure of specific artists names, but being a huge game geek, these days I'm always inspired by art 

and design in videogames , I'm also inspired by writers/writing.

Favourite subjects in art?

 Apparently guys. I tend to enjoy painting the more interesting ones though, 

like visual kei/punk/demon/dark style. 

I also like zombies and yaoi (preferably not together), 

though I don't draw those nearly as much as I'd like. 

Tools of choice?

 Photoshop and my tablet (intuous 4).

Favourite body part in real life?

Waist/stomach.

Favourite Body part in drawings?

Face

The time has came. It is time to finish something guys! You should be really excited: you reached execution speed and some anatomy skills but you lack accuracy.

Use your awesome live model again and ask him to pose for a longer session (2/3 hours minimum). Use the tools you like the most, sit comfortably, tools in the hand and start your session.

Here are some good results you may find inspiring.

• Colors ay be really important. Dark colors, black and purple (and sometimes acid green) are used to identify the villains. Bright colors, white and pink are for vouchers. Heroes uses yellow, red and blue.
  

• Add accessories to your character. Animals could work as accessories as well, but their symbolic meaning can be very vast and ancient. New items will help add personality to your character, or they'd give you ideas for their background story. Clothing is a very important accessory to identify the social class and taste of a character. A warrior will have an armor, a mage will have a stick or a scepter, one who wears sandals will not be a great walker unless he/she is poor...They say the clothing doesn't make the monk, but in Character Design the bow makes the archer and the sword makes the knight.
