Wallpaper Challenge on a Monday! Since our wallpaper challenges have been moved from Fridays to Mondays, as requested by one of my officemates. The change of schedule has just been implemented today. The person who was assigned to give us the topic for today is Adelbert, who gave us designers an awesome topic:
Future Intelligent Robot
I loved this topic for the wide range of Anime I may use to portray my idea. Ghost in the Shell was the first thing that came into my mind, since I’m not a fan of gigantic Gundam type robots, and I’m fascinated with humanoids. The design style used in this wallpaper may be typical, but I love the overall outcome of the wallpaper, since I was able to create what I envisioned to do in just one hour. Hope you like it.
While still being able to use Wayne’s Computer and Wacom, I have been practicing on drawing, coloring and controlling the pen, specially on creating the line art. Seriously, it is very difficult and challenging to draw lines using the Wacom, since the work area (tablet) isn’t like paper which you may tilt to create a certain stroke. But even though I’m having tough times with the Wacom, I’m enjoying the whole experience nonetheless.
I took a picture from LaurenWK to be my basis to practice for the line art and shadows. I only have a few minutes per day to work on this, before our shift starts and this is how far I’ve got. My hand is still very wobbly, and I can’t draw lines properly yet. The shadows still look awkward, looks like they have been smudged too much, but I’ll fix it the next time I work on the artwork. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The Mac I’m using at my workplace broke. I’m currently using Wayne’s computer for the meantime, while my computer is being fixed. Also, Wayne’s computer comes with a Wacom! I’ve been using a Wacom the entire day, sadly not to draw but as a mouse replacement. I always wanted to buy one for myself, but it would still be a few months before I can get my hands on a Wacom Intuos 4.
I also was able to create a fast test sketch using the Wacom in about 30 seconds or so. Here it is, sorry for the ugly drawing though.
