Aleksei and Ganya Color Script

This is the revised color script for Aleksei and Ganya. The last column of colors was changed to mirror the kids happy times in the first column.

Contemplative

Emotional Portrait.

A Foggy Day in London Town

A speed painting of a cruise ship on foggy waters.

Winter in Germany

For my matte painting I took a photo that I captured in Germany and added snow as well as mountains in the background. I also adjusted the colors so that it appeared cooler.

Portrait 2

Still a work in progress... I am going for a contemplative emotion.

Expression In Progress

This is still a work in progress. I have been playing with the complimentary color scheme trying to find one that appears contemplative without looking alien, I have just realized the eye was positioned in the wrong place so I am reshaping a few areas. The base colors are down for the most part, I just need to go in and add the details.

My Brushes

For this assignment I created three different brushes and then played with the settings of each. I first created a leaf with a stem, and then adjusted the settings so that the opacity and size of the leaf varied as well as the spacing. I then created a leaf without a stem and applied the same settings. After using this brush I decided I would like them to go in varying directions so I changed the angle under the shape dynamics. The third brush I created contains a series of dots. I first created the pencil type setting specified in the tutorial by turning on dual brush. Going back to the original settings I noticed that by varying the opacity of the brush it came in handy when creating freckles. Lastly I added texture to the original brush and used it when creating hair.

Self Portrait

This was my first attempt at a portrait, I used a picture for reference in order to get the proportions between the eyes, nose and mouth correct. I was in a fairly lit in the picture so there is only a little shadowing. I took free handed the hair style using one of the brushes we created in the previous assignment. I was able to get a good blending of colors by putting them on separate layers, and then messing with the opacity. I love how it turned out!
