I have just completed a vector of David Tennant. Now I thought I would do it as a WIP but then I thought, well why not example what I am doing as I am going along and share with people what I do... like a tutorial
Instead of putting it all in one image and it being a bitch to download, I am linking all the pages from my scraps... just click the section you wish to read.
I would however request one thing... if you are wanting to favourite it, please favourite this page, so others know there are other sections involved and not just that one section you have favourited... ya get me?
So the list is as follows:
Base layers and a kinda introduction : [link]
The hand: [link]
The neck: [link]
The top: [link]
The jeans: [link]
Face shading: [link]
Facial hair: [link]
Lips: [link]
Hair : [link] - the brush I used can be downloaded here >>> [link]
The eyes: [link]
Finishing touches and correcting "mistakes" : [link]
If you are interested, I have 3 other tutorials which are for vexelling... however the technics used can be applied to vector art.
Bejeebus, I feel like crying, you're so awesome haha. Do you have/know any tutorials on how to use the tools in Adobe Illustrator? I got it a while ago, but I've never understood how to work a lot of it.
Anyway, thanks for the very detailed stages! I love David Tennant heh, and you made him look great. I especially like how you did the jeans! It would've been nice to have seen more blue toned shades in the top (as we saw it compared to the reference) but the shadows are extremely accurate anyway! I think you did a fantastic job on the neck.
-- "I put Smarties tubes... empty Smarties tubes on my cat's feet, and make him walk around like a robot."
I am thinking of adding more tutorials - like how to make brushes, how to do this and that with the tools... but I am just learning at the moment, only had illustrator for 3 weeks now.
With regards to the top - it's more of an artistic lisense here, I know it's a bit of an excuse, but I was doing the vector for myself for wallpaper, so it's all my preference. If you want to know how to add blue tones, then I would replace the lightest dark shade of grey for a more blue toned colour and that would integrate the blue tones in it
Thanks for the compliment on the neck... necks scare me in general, I am always worried that I do them wrong!
