tutorial
the making of a copy-paste, "soul-ninja"
by hazelbud for hhu80
as participation in the:
{100K} Team Head-Texturing Event! 2009
1.
put in a groundcolor (if you are new to this hole thing, use a head sheet you download
from the forum, the helplines on it are good help and a accurate tool), and then make a sketch wt main lines,
directions, dynamics, shadows and highlights i find big airbrush and smaller
light/shadow tool useful 4 this:
2.
then you find some cool pics to use as shape bank (just anything wt good shapes and strong contrast will do),
i use "all color like this selector" ore magic-masker tool, and then cutting away unnecessary parts until i
feel the shape of the selection are interesting.
3.
so i paste on, resize and tip, replace and paste_ use the sketch and your "shape-sense" until you are happy wt it,
remember you can make safetycopys and use the undo button!
4.
go back to your photo-bank and copy some new shapes. to vary intensity of the color so its in contrast to the
lastone and use different sizes gives the head more "life and movement".
continue this until at one point the general shaping of your head/face will start to get somewhere, and you start
doing the last details.
i like to just wait until the end whit the eyes and mouth, just working on the eyesocets and chin/nose/jaw shadows n higlights at this
point.
5.
before putting on the finish, i usually smudge some and use shadow/light adjustor (again, yeah i love tht stuff), just to help the intensity of the
hole thing.
6.
time to copy/paste eyes (and mouth ore nose if you need/want that(_ i find it more ninjaish wt less face features...))
i like getting the eyes from other references than the basic pattern. (this are something i painted rl)
again cut the eye like you want it (easier to just copy 1 and then copy again, mirror it and fit together)
anticipate to resize and adjust some before it works out.
7.
usually the colors as a hole must be worked some, mark 1 by 1 color shape ore space and get some nasty shapes/shades!
8.
this resepy is made fore the toribash-community. In the okation of mine and hhu80`s participation in the
{100K} Team Head-Texturing Event! 2009, as a part of this the tutorial is dedicated him...(see rules)
I feel like a hole lot is missing here, like the testing and texting and removing welding wounds etc..
anyhow if you don't like this ore are getting annoyed by me/my english, fk off then this is not for you !
yours, humblest hazelbud, who are about to die and,
