The Painter XI Experiment Continues!

Displayed is Black and White character study. I wanted to create something for the kiddies. Well... that was the original idea and then things went another way. Enjoy!

I started out with a loose pen sketch.



After scanning and setting up for a digital painting, I added a dark tone to the image and then placed my darkest darks and some of the initial highlights.



The next stages, I pushed the values and started to put in various small fine points.





After working on the character for an hour, I decided to push the creep factor and add a teddy bear to the mix.



Next I lowered the eyebrows and lower the shoulder of the character to try to make the characters seem age and tired. Also, a cane has been added. This will remain hazy as I do not want it to draw to much attention.



Next, the fun stuff began I added details. The hair is cleaned up and brought into focus, as well as lighting detail added to the teddy bear just to convey some fur texture.



I will update the blog as I continue to add to the Corel Painter Experiment. Stay posted to see all the updates and check out the rest of my work at srbproductions.net
