On the Boat

Alright today I finished the second illustration, which isnt exactly page 2, I'm not really illustrating in order of events so here we go.


So yes, as per my imaginary contract I made with my viewers here's the work in progress.


Initial Sketch

Yeah so I realise this is a terrible first sketch lol, this is seriously the "meat and potatoes" of this image, (if I submitted this for one of my classes I probably would of gotten zero points for it lol) we have a big triangle that represents the boat and the 2 kids, then two versions of the beginnings of the mother, with a rejected thumbnail for a head where I finally decided to put her. Sometimes this is how the ideas come lol, all mixed up in a scrappy page you don't think will work, but by the time your brain starts working you can envision the rest perfectly so there's no more need for pencil and paper, just scan and go with it...and thats exactly what I did.

Neatened lines in blue via photoshop

Added in seagulls, finalized the location of mommy, Added in a neat cool awesome flying fish in the immediate foreground SHITYEAH!

So Yes, at this point im feeling rreeeeally reeeeally good about myself, took a break to play some team fortress 2 and go to sleep.



Hahaha ok Back to work. So yes, step three was the color and light layout splotches.

So I realise I didn't really indicate a light source in this stage, that was because I figured "Hey they're outside, light is everywhere right? WRONG...well kinda, yes theres light everywhere but the sun is always in a specific location and that influences the shadows. So realising this I just worked in the sun source in after I did these color splotches. I always work back to front therefore the sky and the sea were done first, so it was an easy fix. I'll show more detail on that in my next update.

Then the final
