For this piece I decided to work on paper again and try drawing "bigger". I was spending a lot of time on smaller drawings with a limited amount of line mileage. Thought that this time I would try and change it up a bit. If I had to change something, I would try to better represent the length of the characters head. I'm not sure that it comes across as well as I would have liked. Next week I'm going to try and finally crack into a couple of books on color theory as I feel like I may have hit a wall with my rendering.
Here is the Jabba painting and the character I referenced:

UPDATE: Thanks to a member of deviantart.com, I now know that the character's name is Hermi Odle. Guess he was in the movie. My Bad.

Much like Luke in the scene you're pulling from, you're at the top of your game here. Color theory is always good, but damn fine job on lighting and tonal values sir!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree, fine job Sir!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job with the lighting
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. I ran into a little bit of a problem when I was painting him: I realized that I never quite figured out a way to put different colors into the same area. I'm fine when the pants are blue and the shirt is red, but his skin had sections of green, grey, and yellow. Its definitely something that I need to address in the future.
