Colouring on Illustrator

I didn't have my original drawing of Ray saved onto my USB (which i was sure i did) So I ended up doing a really quick line work to start colouring.
Which by that point I couldn't remember how on earth to do use the fill. So I have been using the pen tool fill for it all, i can safely say it sucks.

I really don't like Illustrator, it's way to complicated to do the simplest of things.

Other than these tutorial lessons things, there's no way I'm using illustrator.

Weekly Update

last week I felt as though I was mainly concentrating on my presentation.
So this week will be starting doing pre production for my E4 stinger, now that my idea seems to be approved of.

Other than that, I worked on my characters back story, I have a page of what happened to him and a paragraph of his personality.
Then i got carried away and i have a whole opening scene of what hi story would be. I think I want to continue it so I will keep writing it as a short story, but out of college so I don't work on that more than my E4 project.

Not sure what we are doing today, probably more work on our characters.
Will post another update afterwards.

Digital painting

Saw a really nice digital painting the other day, and seeing as we've been randomly talking about digital drawing I felt like I wanted to try doing one again.

Took a screenshot of how it's going so far,
I always do a really quick sketch first, even though I never stick to it.
It started off a bit weird, but I kinda got into it.

Use to love drawing like this, it's been a good 2 years since I last did it.

Alarm

Came across this randomly on Youtube.
I really love it.

Ray the Zombie- Model Head

 So as I mentioned I did start making my Zombie character with Newspaper, so here are some photos.

Just some WIP shots, thought I'd take some before I glued everything together.

All painted up.

I can't make the body for some reason, can't get the shape right

P.S blogger is a b*tch when it comes to trying to place photo's beside each other.

Ray the Zombie- Illustrator

My Zombie character :D

As everyone else is concentrating just on the line work, I manage to add the blood in..... it just isn't right without blood.

Also, I do rather dislike the pen tool, I just click things and hope for the best. 

Weekly Update

Nothing much again, last week was a mixture of character design and E4 stinger ideas. I have 3 ideas, 2 I like and one is just really random.
I've written a rough draft of my Proposal and Treatment, and not even sure how I'm going to put everything together on powerpoint, but as soon as I go on it and mess around I'm sure I'll get an idea.

Today is character design again, first time on illustrator as well.

Will post photos of what I do afterwards.

On another note I have also got a 3D head of my character, seeing as I got over excited about my idea and ended up making it out of Newspaper (and a LOT of PVA glue)
Also will post photos up, once I get home.
