To continue my study in bringing more realism into my work, I’ve created a fantasy self portrait. Since there is a deviation in the color and shading from the Manga Studio image and the finished image, the actual shading appears darker and the contrasting colors of blue in the shading and orange in the highlights (especially in image 6) does not show up.
- Photo reference of myself.
- Tracing from the photo reference.
- 1st creature design. This creature came out looking too sympathetic so start over.
- Basic line drawing for new creature.
- Rough shading and design changes.
- Final creature design.
