Remember this piece of crap?



Well I did, and I wanted to try out how much progress I had made when I was reading and watching tons of drawing-tutorials for digital drawing in my last vacation.

He made a magic transformation and turned into this:



Animooted Progress:

Looks great, really! Your work or did you snatch it somewhere?

[Andr3aZ]

I finished the old drawing in 2010 shortly after starting to draw.

I had tried out many different techniques and learned and raged alot in those years. I'm very satisfied with this current new drawing, but yeah - it can always be better

Good Work!
What software are you using?
Did you do that with a graphictablet?
And can you recommend some tutorials?

[Eternauta]

Nice work, man.

[Surf]

Looking really good Andy, the lighting is excellent!

[headshot]

[Michaelh139]

Bit hazy but god damn it's good.

Are you going to other drawings of characters?

[Beret]

Wow, amazing 

[Andr3aZ]

Thank you guys

Photoshop CS 5

Yes a tablet from Trust. They ain't that mega hardcore precise as the Bamboos from Wacom but it's good enough for beginners.

This guy has much good tutorials http://psd.tutsplus.com/author/martin-perhiniak/ . I also liked the technique of color-blocking. I kinda used that technique on this drawing.

Are you going to other drawings of characters?

As soon as the mood gets me again when I'm drawing I always need 100% mood for it or else I start something and never finish it (The Guardians can sing of song of that )

[Greencell]

thank you for your information, this side looks very interresting!

[Trolleen]

im pretty jealous...lol i can't do anything animated. pretty sweet tho=)

[Andr3aZ]

the animation is just a quick slideshow of every saved image I did when I took a pause on drawing. No skill in putting images together

[Jotisz]

Still it shows the progress nicely .
On a side note though I like the end version I gotta say even the one before the finished one in the gif looks real good and could have been the final one.
Really nice going there.

[Andr3aZ]

Thank you
I must admit, I got a bit lazy because I spent so many evenings on the picture and when I wanted to do the shoulder parts I screwed up some PS settings and couldn't figure out how to restore them which resulted in the shoulder part didn't turn out like I imagined and after 2 hours of painting over the shoulders I said "screw it, it's done"

I did a more in-depth research on the PS settings now and I hope something like that doesn't happen again.
