Digital Painting Exercise: The Figure

Try recreating the two example figures below. Follow the steps as described, using the advantages of working in layers in Corel Painter. To begin you may download the image and use the partial tracing technique from last week's exercise OR redraw the image from observation.

Post screen shots of each step (three steps for each, as shown) on your blog. Describe what you did and make sure to show the Corel Painter desktop so I can see how your palettes, layers and tools are set up.





This week's 'digital sketchbook' exercise: use one or the other techniques described above on a figure of your own choice. Post the Photo you used as a starting point even if you choose to do a fantasy character. The photo will provide your reference for lighting and pose.
