digital painting practice 16

Hahaha i cant paint hair...something i need to practice, looks like Saitama from OnePunch Man... at first i wanted to paint a bird getting fed by the angel, but that seemed kind of boring, so i changed it into a dragon looking at another dragon being created by the angel.

hmm there are some errors with the lighting, not sure, but the halo part was kind of interesting, i was thinking maybe that was fake halo attached to his head, maybe that could of been the reason why i made him bald.

but yeah this practice was a break for me from my animation work before i go crazy on sunday evening...

A quick practice before i go off to my friends place.

I did this picture thinking about Daisuke Tsutsumi and his greatness that someday i will be as awesome as he is, in dedication i painted a Dice, because thats what people call him at Pixar.

Well I guess this is a start, all from imagination and practice from previous paintings... i wanted to do something with robot and kid, they seem like a pretty common theme out there.

The idea of swings were like something from my childhood, maybe having the imaginary robot next to me as I swung there in the sunset..lol idk.

I took a picture of this in my classroom last night.
Why, because i saw the shadow and thought the lighting was very interesting, so i replaced my friends faces with an animal face.

I do like how this turned out.

this time I wanted to practice lighting through looking at examples of some of Dice's new digital paintings.
This is a view of the quad of University of Washington, when the cherry blossoms blooom!!
Used this for reference UW CherryBlossom
Time: 2hours

I chose to use Dice's painting of Monsters University concept art
Although the image i made doesn't have the right perspective as Dice's, i still think i was able to get a close render of the lighting


Will continue to practice.

hmm this is the pastor of my church, because i've been focusing on lighting alot more now a days with my digital painting, i've been doing a lot more observing with light, and so while he was giving his message today i noticed the shiny white dot on his forehead that just got my attention and i really wanted to paint it.

I dont know how accurate this is of him, b/c i did this all from memory, but i think i did a good job haha..

I like how this turned out, probably one of my favorite, not sure why i thought of this idea though. Hmm maybe its cuz i just watched an episode of Toriko, where they kind a went ice fishing XD.

The penguin turned out awesome! and it only took like 5 min to make.

Blue x Red seems like my favorite combo.
In this exercise/practice was to try and get the atmosphere of the cold..ness.. I think the blue gradient i got in the b/g worked well.

Hmm i wanna go ice fishing someday...with a penguin.
