CG Practice, Value Importance April 26th,2013

The importance of value in the scene, rather worry about the over all composition, we as humans are adapted to a colorless world, in fact the way we see the world is trough value, that way we can judge distances, forms and positions, is important to have this in mind and be aware that, value triggers from more than just 1 or 2 steps, Images can have a wider value range than we expect and even what we can see.

it could be a suggestion for my depth paradox.

More CG practice to come, I just bought new books and the fuel is getting more and more hard to digest, but there is not problem, let's keep digging!

                                      

Some material study and portraits.

CG Painter practice March 16th, 2013

Extraordinary Night time.
CG Painter resume, No doubt we tend to get lost in the apparently infinite tones and values of the nature, it can be simplified, but there does not recides the problem, the problem must be found inside, do not understimate the gray value, it can be really helpful.
The dictates get more and more hard the more I do them, I don't know why but I suppose is part of the process, remember, worry about the enironment before any stroke.

CG Painting 26th Jan 2013

More practice, it seems like working from mind is kind of tricky yet, is hard to come up with good compositions and ideas, damn, a lot of work to do!

Light (Part 4/ More Practice)

The all intention of this practice is understand, but I have to be honest, some things I have no idea how they exist, so in those parts just follow the example.
Anyway I hope I can start lighting enviroments after this, here is the practice of today!
12.16.2012

I follow a simmilar approach as mentioned before but is kind of slow.

This time again I show the process of this painting, which took me like 6 hours, and just 1 layer of total,
well as some asked, here is the step by step.

Believe it or not this part is the hardes, took me like 30 minutes to figure out this mesh, is the most important
thing in a portait.-
 One thing I have to say is that this was a 3 point lighting portrait, is one of the hardest kind of situations for recreation, because the little contrast which seems in more hard time finding the right tones and values, which the whole point of this excercises is to recreate the light with in, is just a true challenge and make things more difficult.

Then just continue

And the image has been completed.
The process of portraits, needs a solid understanding of the basics of shading and the total understand of anatomy (proportions, bones, muscles) that just makes things ... like 2 % easier, so better still practicing!

Anyway, here is another quick one.

Well, more Light advance is comming and the next excercise will be really fun to do
stay tune!
Patience as hard as steel and will clinging to the faith!
Keep on!
