Wedding Ceremony...

Hi guys....This is a wedding ceremony notice that I did for Michelle's brother. I drew the image of the bride and the bridegroom on a piece of paper. After that, I scanned the image and started editing it using Adobe Photoshop CS3. This is a simple notice to put on her relative's car so that anyone can contact them if the cars are blocking the traffic. I will do another version with more color i guess...

Animated Elephant

This is an animated elephant. My very first try of creating animated illustration.

Tutorial to Create an Animated Image
**********************************
1. First of all, get an image that you want it to be animated. I drew the elephant on a piece of paper before I captured the image using a camera. After that, the image was outlined and colored using Adobe Illustrator.

2. Create two different view of the elephant so that you can see it animated in the scene later on. Save them as two different images.

3. Using Adobe Photoshop, go to Window ->Animation. Now, a new animation frames can be seen at the bottom of the Window. Open both of the images in the window.

4. In the Animation Window, click at the small arrow on the right. Choose "Makes Frames from Layers". With this, an animation will be automatically created depending of the number of layers available.

5. Select the delay time for each of the frames created.

2nd Illustration Coloring

This is my 2nd attempt to color illustration. Like the previous post, I color the background color of the image before proceed to the shadows & tones. This colored-lineart is used for this experiment.

This lineart is licensed under GPL ver.2. The details of the lineart are as below:

Project: The Mana World

This is what I got after I color the background of the image.

Color Process Using Adobe Photoshop CS3

Have been always wanted to be able to color illustration just like anime & manga. Today, I finally got the chance to finished 1 of the illustration. :P happy2 me... This is the reference that I have used.



Before shadows & tone can be apply to a picture, it is always advisable to fill the background color of the picture. From there, you can proceed to the shadows & tones to make the picture more realistic. As what you can see from the image below, shadows & tones contribute alot to the details of the picture. This is what everyone should have for the 1st step. Just a flat color image without much details.

After adding shadows & tones on the image, you will be able to create a more realistic & lively picture. Now, background such as sky or grass can be added. I have add on a gradient blue sky rather than just a flat blue color sky.

Hope to be able to produce a better quality & complex illustration soon.

Illustration using Pen Tool in Adobe Photoshop CS3

I have been wondering how to draw nice illustration using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. I have been searching online tutorial for so many days. God knows how many days...The first tutorial was found in YouTube. However, it doesn't really help. The video showing the tutorial in fast mode. Can't actually followed the steps. The song played in the video was very nice indeed. I posted a comment asking the author how did he able to make such a smooth line in the illustration as weel as the name of the song. Sadly, there is not reply from him. I'm lucky enough to have someone who actually told me the name of the song.... XD



After a few days of hard work, I finally found out how to do a smooth line actually a nice tone line. Not just in a solid black line but a line that have different tone. hehe. I'm so happyyyyy...

Did some experiment on 1 of the linearts that I got from this site(http://mechanical-bunnies.com/tutorials/pstutorial.html).

Nice ah? :) By the way, this tracing back the line of a picture is called lineart. Normally, we will be drawing the line of a scanned picture before we starting to color it.
