Making of The Blues Singer Leaves Town
This picture was done in a hot summer day, in the memory of an old anime series I used to watch as a kid, about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Historically, it’s off from that period, but it’s the feeling of summer, childhood fascination and nature that I wanted to re-create. It’s also a tribute to music. The picture was done to resemble an animation still, cel-shaded characters over a “traditionally” painted background. For inspiration, I also had an open book with Oga Kazuo’s work. I started out by sketching the background. I sketched in a separate transparent layer. I was satisfied at this point, even though it’s still rough and not very pretty. I started to put down colours. I also did the sky gradient.
Détourer avec l'outil lasso : Manuel pratique de la retouche avec Photoshop
Le lasso est surement la méthode de détourage la plus basique. C'est un outil libre, c'est-à-dire que tout ce que vous tracerez avec le lasso sera retranscrit à l'identique au niveau de la sélection. Il est très précis pour les détails puisqu'il est très maniable. En revanche, à la moindre erreur de votre part (écart au niveau du contour, relâchement de la sélection par inadvertance...) il faudra tout recommencer ! - Sélectionnez l'icône "outil lasso". - Cliquez sur votre photo et, sans relâcher la souris, dessinez le contour de l'objet à détourer. - Revenez au point de départ et relâcher la pression pour fermer la sélection. Vous aurez alors une sélection en pointillés clignotants autour du sujet. A noter : le lasso polygonal, quant à lui, permet de tracer un cadre de sélection de forme géométrique.

Mantis Queen
Concept Searching for inspiration I decided the Praying Mantis would be an ideal subject as their exotic forms would work well with the pattern work I wished to apply. I knew I wanted the character to be imposing, someone who would study the viewer as much as the viewer studied them. This very quickly gave me an idea of the type of composition I wanted; I knew the viewer needed to be looking up at the character, enhancing the air of superiority for the character. Sometimes I have a very clear color scheme in mind for a piece but this time I chose to start in greyscale, allowing me to focus on composition and form. A lack of color scheme from the outset isn’t really a problem because as the piece began to solidify a color scheme would present itself to me. Brushes I have numerous shape brushes ranging from paint strokes to patterns based around tribal designs.
