Firstly, sorry for the lateness with the next few entries, I have been doing overtime at work and when I finally did get the time to sit down and enter stuff, I forgot my password! Anyhoo...
Well I was just browsing the net to see if I could break down other illustrators backgrounds of interiors or buildings to understand perspective again. And in the process came up with this thumbnail and decided to go with it...
This is the Cleaned up line work with a fineliner pen. I left some pencil lines in just to muck around with them for effect when colouring.
THE OUTCOME
I only spent about 3 hours to complete the colouring of this in photoshop. For my first attempt at colouring something and trying to use textures, I would give myself a 6 out of 10...haha, but otherwise I think its pretty crap. I looked at a few tutorials on how to use textures etc, which helped a great deal, but I still have a lot of white patches throughout the drawing which is from the inability to select any spots where I had left some lead pencil shading...so the pencil didn't work with me the way I wanted it too. I've seen some paintings where the pencil lines add to the shading. I think it had to do with some of the colouring I did on the original layer as I forgot to create a new one all the time.
I have not done alot of digital painting or sketching even and so that was the reason I decided to complete it to this point as I thought it would be a good time to start practicing...haha. I was very frustrated at the beginning when trying to choose colours, and everything looked so flat! But once I realised I should break things down to layers i.e. real colours, shadows, lighting etc, this made things run alot more smoothly. When I added the wood texture to the floors this really lifted my spirits...I think though i may have used it too much. looking at it now too, I hve no idea why i chose to paint the two rooms walls different colours...blah! Looks gross! If I get bored sometime, I might change it.
