Photoshop tutorial - flat painting

 

 

For todays photoshop session , we were tasked with creating a monchromatic flat painting in photoshop, using the video tutorial provided as guidance. I'm quite happy with the result, although I think the highlights on the mountain need to be a little darker, as at the moment they pop too much. I also think the sky might need to be a bit more saturated. 

I found this tutorial really useful because it showed me the render function in photoshop, which will allow me to create trees very easy, and how to build up a flat painting like this in a way that looks decent.

Witch Modelling: Hands and lower arms

Image
 The hands and the arms were next. These took a lot longer than I was expecting, and were a lot harder than I was expecting too. at first I tried to quad draw over the base mesh hands, but that was turning out very messy so I went back to Jet Pack Jones again and followed the hand tutorial. They look OK, but I'm not fullt satisfied with how they came out. For the lower arm, I extruded up from the hand the added extra edge loops to create the shape.

Werewolf Head modelling part 2

Image
After doing the reworks to the werewolfs design, I went back to modelling her head. I'm still using the original orthographs because thy're close enough to how her new head look that I can still use them as guidelines. After getting the eye to look right, I moved on to the muzzle. I formed the top of her head and her cheek first so that the muzzle would flow into the shapes of the forehead and cheek. For her nose, at first I tried to have just the general shape and paint the nostrils on, but I realised for the animation I'd need actual geometry to animate some of her expressions, so I modelled it fully.  I found the nose extremely difficult to model, especially figuring out how the mesh should flow from the inside of the nostril back out and into the lip.

Toolkit 1 Submission: Autodesk Maya and Supporting software

 Autodesk Maya and supporting software Reflective statement At the beginning of the year, I absolutely hated Maya. I found the software extremely overwhelming and diffcult to wrap my head around at first, but over the year, I came to understand it a whole lot better and actually came to enjoy some of it. I would say I've come a long way with what I've learned with Maya, although i still have a long way to go. I think the biggest issue I had with this project was under prioritising it, prioritising my other projects over it throughout the year, which meant I had less time to actually finish all the tutorials.  When it comes to the supporting software such as adobe photoshop, premier pro, after effects etc. I feel I've come a long way with them as well, although I don't have a lot of what I did from those tutorials saved. I knew some of the software beforehand (photoshop, premier pro, a little after effects) and now I have a better understanding of those softwares, as wel
