Metrini,

You can do any of the OFDWs that you wish ~ however, most of the energy will be concentrated on the most recent OFDW, which at the moment is OFDW 007. But I will happily look at any work posted to any of the OFDWs. :slight_smile:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

I thought I would go back and do this one since I skipped it. Pencil on paper once moreā€¦would have done it in charcoal, but I left that up in my studio. Had problems with the hand, and the more I fiddled with it, the worse it gotā€¦finally gave up. sigh Iā€™m still experimenting with scanner methods as wellā€¦

Here I uped the contrast as high as it will goā€¦interresting effect.

This one I just uppedā€¦kind of close, but still losing some stuff.

mybutterflyiris,

Hey there, :slight_smile: one recommendation I might have for tweaking a scanned image is to try this 2 step process:

  1. Desaturate the image (Ctrl + Shift + U, or Image > Adjustments > Desaturate)
  2. Set the Levels to Auto (Ctrl + L > Click ā€œAutoā€, or Image > Adjustments > Levels > Click ā€œAutoā€)

This almost always helps my images. The desaturation bit is important ~ youā€™ll get worse results if there is color information (for drawings), at least, so Iā€™ve found.

You can also manually adjust the 3 sliders in the Levels window, the left slider (triangle) is for darks, the middle slider is for middtones, and the right slider for lights. Try experimenting with this and hopefully it will help. :slight_smile:

I like the bottom version quite a lot ~ in terms of the drawing itself, I mean. Do you think you will draw the rest of the figure as well? :slight_smile:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Phew! Been out of town for 2 weeks, came back to find out that my entire harddisk/mobo/windows was corrupted due to a worm. Talk about bad-luck! :eek: No worries, got a go at Painter 9 (real neat!) and have been visiting Steven Stahlbergā€™s website and also Rebeccakā€™s OFWD tutorial.

Still figuring out how to build forms using grayscale values and applying colours to it. :thumbsup:

I know Iā€™m ridiculously late with this but I was too busy with work at the time and I really wanted to do this one. I loved the photos, especially this oneā€¦ full of character and light and colours :slight_smile:

Here are my WIP pics.

Amerasu,

Beautiful work! Great to have you back in the OFDWs ~ I think at some point, if you would like to post a tutorial here on the Anatomy Forum, and call it TUTORIAL - Digital Anatomy Painting - by Amerasu, that would be great! You could include as many or as few step by steps for various paintings ~ I think this would really benefit the community as a whole, if you are interested. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Thanks very much Rebecca. I really enjoyed doing this one.

Iā€™ll put a painting tutorial together for the next OFDW I do :slight_smile:
