Fundos de animação: crie uma cena de rua

Awesome work! I love the attention to details with the archways and shadows. Very colorful and vibrant too.

Hi Siobhan! Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate the positive feedback. I did spend countless hours on this project but so well worth it. So many more things to accomplish within it. I’m proud that I’ve gotten this far. As I’ve said before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, your approach with explanation has far surpassed anyone else. Your work is mesmerizing and simply amazing! The only questions I have at this time is 1) how do you keep your polygon lines so precise? It looks like they all close perfectly, and you have no spaces between colors. 2) Does my attempt to do the pealing paint look anywhere close? Can you please touch on that. Maybe I need to increase the strength of my cheaters. Haha. On a side note I just purchased the newest Wacom 27”, omg, it’s incredible. I’m in this for life! Thank you!

Hi Patti,
so sorry about the delay on replying here, I didn't see these follow up questions, hopefully I can answer them all here...
1. Polygon lasso tool - yes it's tricky to get them precise with no spaces, yours look really good though, I'm not seeing any gaps between the shapes. The best way to make sure there are no gaps is to keep shapes on separate layers so that they can overlap. This is the way I do it any way. You can also add a layer above 2 shapes and paint over any gaps, but that will be messy in the long run. So I would suggest simply making shapes on separate layers and then afterwards merging layers as you need to. Does this make sense??
2. The peeling paint on the wall is also tricky - there are 2 things you could do here to improve this part of the painting: one is to make the peach paint look slightly more distressed closer to the edge of the peel ... ie. change the color around the edge of the peeled away section. Then the second thing is to make the bricks underneath the paint more readable as "brick" rather than painting with brush strokes. It might take a bit more work but will be with it. At the moment I get the old worn concrete feel, but I feel that it's too indistinct against the paint. If that makes sense? If it's too much to have to paint brick work, maybe experiment with a textured brush that is very different to the one used for the paint section, and see if you can add grain and grit. Failing that..... have a look at the way you painted the ground, that kind of simple treatment could also work well on the wall and in fact because it's on the ground we will recognize the texture if we see it on that section of wall. Something to consider!
And lastly... the wacom 27" ... is that the Cintiq!? Oooh, i'm very envious! That's been on my wishlist for such a long time now! Enjoy, that's a dream!! Hope you make a lot of beautiful art. Keep me posted!
I'll check back here again in case you have any other questions :)
Talk soon

Wow! Thank you very much for the in-depth response, very informative and I will see what I can do on the peeling paint. It’s nice to know that the polygon tool is somewhat working in my favor. I too will concentrate on the advice given for the future. Again, your work is nothing short of amazing. I’m so eager to see what class you post. Yes, I did just purchase the latest 27” Wacom Cintiq Pro, extremely costly but incredible! I highly recommend it and couldn’t even imagine the work you would create. Again, I appreciate you!
Sincerely,
Patti

Appreciate you Patti!! Thanks for your support :) and yes, keep me potsed - see you in the next class for sure :)

Hi Patti! This background is awesome!! I love the colors and the composition and you've managed to create a really dreamy and atmospheric place - perfect backdrop for an animated story or scene to unfold. There is so much charm and interest in this piece. The washing lines add such a nice touch, bringing that subtle element of character and human activity into the scene. Lovely!! This is a major piece, a painting like this demands so much time and work, and I can truly see all the energy that went into this painting, the windows are wonderfully rendered, the doorways and the small details - all of this takes time and perseverance! I really hope you enjoyed the process, it's exciting to see someone's work that clearly has a wonderful creative and imaginative vision. Hope you keep your digital art going!! Let me know if you have any questions? Great job :)
