Now that you are back from your ophthalmologist let’s add some ‘real’ colors to the ‘Rocks The Boat’ sketch… something which can finally be seen on your monitor without hurting your eyes.
If your eyes really are okay and fully healed after the last part (and of course you have the cojones to do so) take a look at the ‘Base Colors‘ we did last time because this is the starting point for the new video.
If you are new to this blog you can watch the first parts of the video series here:

(We assume no responsibility whatsoever for any damage resulting from watching this!)

The new video (part 3 in the series) was too big to upload, so I had to cut off the last ten minutes. This last part I will show in my next post.
Don’t forget you can watch (and download!) this video in high definition over at ‘vimeo‘ !
Here is a low-def embedded version of part 3a:

Art Techniques – Part 1 – Sketch

Inspired by our company mantra ‘Rock The Boat‘, I will show you a video series about some of my art techniques. I am using these techniques to create most parts of the art for our game. In part 1 of the series, I will show you the making of a sketch which, in 90% of all art created, is the first step to the finished artwork. This sketch is made in Corel Painter with an Wacom Intuos3 DinA5 wide art tablet. I am using the Wacom tablet for all art this days… even for creating sketches. Corel Painter allows you to build your own brushes and with some customization you can make perfect digital pencils for creating sketches.Sketch
By clicking the small image to the left you can see the final sketch. Please note: the sketch content has not much to do with our game! To get more inside info on the game you have to read our blog regularly… so don’t forget to use the RSS-Feed to the right! Below you can see the video of how the sketch was done:

See you soon in the second part about COLORS… ;)
