Week 3 - Frank Frazetta + Value

This week we were exploring value ranges in class and were tasked with taking some Frank Frazetta lineart and filling in the values (to practice).

Here is my first practice. This image had a lot of potential, I chose to work in color as a result of this potential. I am used to working with value in color, however I made sure to check in B/W every now and then.



From the base linework, I set the background to a mid shade. I then worked in the darker values first (shadows) and separated the different elements. From there, I added some lighter values and made sure to focus on the characters with the lightest values. Color just helped merge the values together and add a little variation here and there.



Second practice resulted in similar outcomes. This time I tried to photobash certain elements of the character with varying degrees of success.






Here is another:



BONUS:



I took one of the silhouettes from last week and developed it a little more. I tried to keep it lose. Perhaps next week I will do a cleaner version with a more refined value range, outlining the elements (clothes etc).




Cleaned character up a bit:
