Happy 2010 walkthroughby *xavor85

Tutorial of the Happy 2010 illustration

Step 1: First quick sketch on paper of the core idea.

Step 2: I scan the image, added some more datails and stuff to the illustration and work over the mecha concept.

Step 3: I cut some part to the original sketch to fix the shot close to the characters. Then I use the lazo tool to select part of the illustration, divide in different colored part in order to make more easy the coloring process. This part of the process is called flat.

Step 4: This is how the image appear with the flat level activated.

Step 5: Starting painting in B&W

Step 6: adding details to the face of the mecha, objects, girl suite.

Step 7: Finishing the B&W process, adding final details over the the mecha and the girl suite.

Step 8: Starting the coloring process. I add a layer over the B&W in multiply mode. I also put a flat background with a grain pattern.

Step 9: Work over the background adding some crack, imperfections and dirt. I use the rule tool of photoshop to draw the tiles .

Step 10: Merge all the levels and work over a single level adding light effects with the brush in "color dodge" mode.

Step 11: I Adjust the color through the "selective color" tool, then I paint over the piece adding details, lights, greenlights, backlights ect. ect. Than I bring some more effect, always using the brush tool in "color dodge" mode. The piece was almost finished.

Step 12: The final step. I set right the shoe sole and some anatomy imprecisions. Finish!

I hope you enjoy the walkthrough.

i'v never heard of painting in black and white first, dang, now that seems alot easier... then i'm guessing you'd colorize the selection. i'm terrible at selecting colors.

if anyone could, check out my colored hut piece and let me know what you think. suggestions would help! its only a rough trial so its obviously not finished.

great work by the way. and great work on the anatomy for the girl, the arms and back are my favorite!

ciao, bel tutorial, però mi chiedevo se potessi spiegarmi come mai al punto 3 usi così tanti colori...in fin dei conti l'immagine finale ne ha pochi. *curiosa

*xavor85 May 27, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

ricordavo di averti gia risposto ma probabilmente il pc è andato in tilt poco prima che potessi completare la risposta. In breve avevo detto che quello che vedi non sono altro che flats, mi servono unicamente per dividere i pezzi in varie aree in modo da sfumare in modo preciso. Di fatto non vengono assolutamente usati nella colorazione finale, anzi. Sono di colore diverso per far si che la bacchetta magica possa sempre selezionare uno e un solo pezzo per volta. (a seconda del colore del pixel selezionato

In generale sui commenti dovrei averlo precisato... (almeno credo)
