Are you in the mood for another building rendering step-by-step?
OK good. Cause I have one for you.
This here is a restaurant I need to render up nicely. This is the sketch I give the art director, showing which 'view' I'm doing and how I'm going to crop the image (he sends me a pack of photos from different angles, and I pick the one I like best.)
So here it is with just the sky done, and some of the reflections in the windows.
I should add that I traced that rough sketch above onto my Stonehenge paper with a lightbox, and am doing the final art on that. I'm not coloring that sketch above. I have a very light drawing I'm working on. (Guess that's obvious ~ just making it clear.)
I use Light Ultramarine, Light Pthalo Blue and Sky Blue Polychromos for the sky. There are no clouds in the original photo, just milky white blah sky, so I'm doing my own thing with it.
Yesterday I bought a treadmill. Well, I ordered one, and it'll be delivered in a couple of weeks. Sitting at the drawing table and sitting at the computer are taking their toll! Its too hot to walk now (its supposed to hit 100 this weekend), and I'm not a "get up early before its hot and get out and exercise" kind of person. So I'm doing the next best thing. I'm proud of myself. Now let's just hope it doesn't turn into one of those furniture hangers that gets sold at a garage sale next summer...
You should write a CP book! These posts are wonderfully informative and helpful! And you castle is great! Congratulations!
i agree with Katherine...you do such lovely step by step examples for folks, i just know a book by you would be great! :)
p.s. love the castle!
thanks for showing the progress of your piece, I enjoyed it!
