Pretty in Pink.Progression
Here is the progression of the “Pretty in Pink” pic. The original post can be found here.
The first pic was alright, but I really did not like the face. So I redrew that much larger on a separate sheet of paper, then photoshoped it back on the body in blue line form.
Then, to help preserve the “life” of the line, I redrew it. Which allowed me to fix a few things.
After scanning it, I adjusted the line work, dropped in some grayscale flats, then added shadows followed by highlights on different layers.
Finally, I colored the whole thing, by sampling her original skin tone from the source pic, setting that layer to “color” mode, and adding in more colors to finish it off. Textures for the wall and floor were pulled from the interwebs.
Overall I am pleased with the outcome. I don’t have that much experience coloring line work (which is probably self evident), but I do want to get better.
