CREATIVE PROCESS 4: Aquaman Digital painting
STEP 1: Line drawing
After some early sketches to solidify the initial idea, I create the line drawing that will act as the bones of the image, making sure that the composition is solid.
STEP 2: Colour pass
I do a quick rough colour render to make sure the elements of the image hold up. I'm not too concerned with colouring the character at this point.
STEP 3: Refine background values
Because the image has a lot of draw distance I want to make sure the values are right giving the image a feeling of depth.
STEP 4: Colouring the character
Because Aquaman is the main character of this piece, I want to make sure he stands out the most which is why I work on him after rendering the background.
STEP 5: Icing on the cake
Now I can really get to work on Aquaman and make sure he's the standout element by adding tattoos, some fish swimming about and a few bubbles.
