Level 3 Induction project

This induction project is meant to induct me into games design level three. The end goal and purpose of this project is to create a self portrait of myself when I was a baby. To start this project we have been reacquainting ourselves with skills such as proportions and portrait skills

For this exercise we were told to create 10 different faces using this proportion method(I had time to draw an 11th)

This exercise was to have us draw heads looking in different directions and different angles, all of these were drawn second hand from pictures found on the internet.

This final exercise was to draw someones portrait from a first hand perspective to practice our proportion practice as well as adding detail

This is a developed version of one of the heads with a backstory.

Sinix painting practice

This lesson I have created a number of faces and attempted to use the colouring method of Sinix, an online artist, to give them a European/African skin tone, taking into consideration the light and bouncing light(light reflected off of other surfaces). The theme was to try and adapt Sinix's art style to use ourselves, using software like Photoshop to experiment with different colouring styles, which I think Photoshop is very useful for. This technique made my design look unique though it could have been more effective if I had blended the colours together more effectively, and if I could do something differently I would definitely blend the colours more thoroughly.

My work on the African skin tone turned out much more blended and all around better than my European skin tone colouring because I added more details, such as skin details, eyes and more visible light. However I still feel that I could blend the colours together better.

Self portrait

So far in my project I have drawn an outline and done rough colouring around the face and clothes area.

 This is my final self portrait next to my original picture. While designing this I tried to use the skin colouring technique of Sinix, using dark colours as a base and building up from it using the software Photoshop, which was very useful for this project. To create my self portrait I used blending techniques as well as creating brushes to get an affect, I also used the grid method to keep track of and copy the picture as well as I could, and by using this technique I believe that my picture is more accurate than I could have done free hand. I could have used the blending technique more thoroughly and more precisely. And if I could do something differently I would have my photo in a different pose as I think the straight on light reflections affected my work.

Due to a corrupted file because I saved it wrong I have not been able to upload a video
