Assignment for Tuesday

Me again. Dudes:

I would like to assign some painting work. Depicted above is a 10minute BLOCK IN on one of Rob's layouts. I would like to see a BLOCK IN like this for EVERY layout (including mist shots) for Tuesday (March April 7). The colour script is here:


I would like to see a CLEAR:

1) Main Light Source

2) Focal Area

3) Shadow Pattern

4) Basic Colour Palette

This will help us to see a) continuity, b) composition, c) comfort level. It will also force you to start thinking about it - painting takes a lot of work. You don't have to render, use a BIG BRUSH and block in the important things.

Keep them quick 10-20mins per layout - quick but accurate.

Thank you :)

BY THE WAY EVERYONE: Please bring the PSDs, unflattened. Thanks.

Paint Stuff

Yo dudes, so I'm hoping everyone has atleast started painting a bit of their backgrounds. I just wanted to say that I've somewhat managed to reproduce that blend look that is characteristic of Painter using Photoshop. The trick is to lay down all your colours and tones then use the SMUDGE tool (about 50% opacity) to blend it all together. Be careful not to overdo it tho.

Pictured above is just the tree for that sniper-pull down shot (I've blurred out the BG for now). The close up is just to show approximately how loose/rough/tight we should go. Do not go any tighter than that - we don't have time :) Stay fairly rough.

I estimate it takes 6-10 hours to fully paint a layout.

We have only 4 Days for painting. I highly recommend everyone paint an hour a day if possible, or ATLEAST get started. DO NOT worry about colour too much - we can always change that later. Right now it is important that you:

1) Remove linework
2) Render forms using tone/value/light/shadow.

If you need any help doing anything with the painting stage, let me know - even if you want me to get it started for you.
