the stationery face

Today i managed to finish my subject - Digital Media's assignment, Neo: "make a face with 5 stationery, using photoshop" and now is already 7am
below is the report and process on how i made the face

THE FACE


and the face above is being made from these materials:

base: eraser face
1.) first, i use the eraser as the base of the face, i rotated the eraser up-side down because the eraser was dirty and it wouldn't look nice


eyes - sharpener
2.) the next process comes when i add in the eyes using the resized version of the sharpener
and this functions something like a guideline to make sure all of the facial traits are in place and correct proportional-wise


ear - scissor's handle
3.) i then cropped the handle of the scissor to use as the face's ear, putting it same height as the eyes
his left ear is mirrored because i want both ear to have the same size
and the ear is being put under the base of the face because overlapping it doesn't look good


hair, eyebrow and lips: pencil
4.) after having the basic face done, i add in the hair pencil by pencil after i cropped it out, the side of the hair is being placed under the layer of the eraser and the ear, so that the hair won't cover the ear and have a tidy look
i use the pencil to make a spiky hair look
and after putting up the pencils, i use the "eraser tool" to rub the unnessary hair to have a human hair line
then, i add in the eyebrow and lips, same as above, i use the eraser tool to touch up the shape of it


the ear ring: paper clip
5.) the fifth item will be only for decoration purpose as the requirement is 5 items to make a face
the paperclip is being used to symbolised the ear-ring
the paperclip is being cropped and placed under the layer of left-ear
artwork is supposed to look nice, therefore i chose to use 4 items for the face and 1 to enhance the looks

pls comment.

Art Tutorial: Body Proportion

i have posted this tutorial page in a forum i went often, but currently it is down, and i dedcided to post this in somewhere else too :)
this tutorial mainly talks about proportion and body scale
hope u enjoy, do drop by and post up some comment or ask questions :)


PICTURE1


The arm’s scale is being fixed, the joint A is the shoulder joint; the joint B is the elbow joint; while the area C is not a joint, but the center of the palm
The distance where A to B is equals to B to C


PICTURE2

If the wrist is twisted, then u have to swing the wrist, breaking the B to C section into 2


PICTURE3

When drawing the hands, it is better to draw the hands from 3 parts, the palm, thumb, then the four fingers. First, draw the palm. Second, add the thumb in place. Third, draw out the four fingers all together, and carefully note their length. Fourth, curl the fingers to the pose u want.


PICTURE4

Same as above, draw the palm first, then the thumb. Thirdly draw the four fingers together as if it is a boxing glove, cut the boxing glove into four piece to make the four fingers. Fourth, very good, u are learning quick.


PICTURE5

The picture note with orange colour is the neck joint. The red ones is the muscles. Don’t neglect this


PICTURE6

The orange part is the bone structure when a girl is stretching backwards. The red colour is the ribs.


PICTURE7

From left, the first one is the leg’s joints: from butt, then knee, then to the ankle; the left one is normally when people standing straight
The center one is the people resting their weight in either one of their legs
The one at the right is posing with “coolness” like how those model does, pretty cool


PICTURE8

I used the model at the right and drew this picture, the model stretch to side very dynamicly.


that's all for now, coming next: "how to draw legs XD"
