in art •  6 years ago 

Hi steemers!
Today i share with you the last design I did. Its a lovely animal , appreciated by many users here too. A Blue whale.
I wanted to do a 2d and a 3d version after. I did the drawing first.

Illustration

For the illustration i did several sketches first of different poses and movements of the whale, looking at references images in google. I see the shape, and size also, trying to capture the essence and spirit of the animal.
Later, i pick the most intereting designs and put them together in one composition.
In a new layer I did the inking and later the coloring.

3d sculpt

after having the final design, I choose one of the designs of the whale, and I started the 3d version of the drawing.
For that I use zbrush, a 3d software that allows you to sculpt digitally.

making off

Here you can see the process of creating the sculpture. I started with a simple sphere, and like clay, I gave it shape to obtain the final form of the animal.
Each video is a different part of the process, from the main blocking to the final details and painting.




render

Here you can see the final render of the 3d sculpture.
I use different lights before taking the digital photo. I use one main light, one rim light and one bounce light.
I did take several renders for each light and composing them together later on photoshop.
After, I Played with layer modes to give it the best look. Mostly the light layers were on screen mode, while the shadow layers were on multiply .
Here you can see the gif below with the layering process..

And this is the final image after merge all the layers. I also played with color balance and light effects in photoshop, to give it a better and brighter look and unify the image a bit more.
