It’s really easy finding views of people from the back, but surprisingly difficult finding views from the front. Another one of those things I picked up from all my hours of watching Bob Ross paint on TV.Īs I said earlier, I spent forever looking for images of people outdoors that I could cut and add to this illustration. Plus, it’s always a good rule of thumb to start with items furthest back in the distance and work your way forward into the foreground. This step takes little time but adds a layer of completion that allows me to better visualize where I want to take this illustration. I always start off in Photoshop by adding a background which, in this case, includes the sky and vegetation.

I use Kerkythea because it is free but it is by no means a requirement for this workflow. Any rendering program will work for this step. The Kerkythea rendering provides the basic shading information for me to begin building off of in Photoshop. However, this is more than enough information to allow me to get the illustration that I am envisioning. The Sketchup model is lacking in detail and textures not properly mapped which meant I had to spend a little extra time in PS to offset this lack of development.Ībove, you can see the Sketchup model is not very well developed.

In this case, I put a higher priority on getting the right view on the people so that the perspective was correct which meant I had to sacrifice the correct lighting.īelow are some of the screenshots of images as I worked in Photoshop. Even with all of that time spent, you will still notice that the sun direction is off on almost all of the people. The outdoor theater perspective alone took a ton of Googling before I could find enough source images of crowds to cut from. These illustrations were extremely heavy in post processing.

While I like the full page spreads of these perspective shots, I may end up combining them to a single spread to allow more room for process work. As I mentioned earlier, I wanted this project to focus on process work and there are still some diagrams that need to be added. The number of pages for this project are really starting to add up and I don’t want to add any more than where I’m at now. I was able to develop a couple of illustrations this weekend to help illustrate some of the exterior spatial qualities of the theater design.
