Rise and shine with a winning art this #Winsday 🎨 It's been a few grueling weeks before I was able to finish shading. This made me extremely busy. The approach I did is the concept of uniformity in giving volume to the characters by adjusting a little bit of shading style for each character but still maintaining their original looks to make them recognizable. The best part is that the muscles I love most have volume now. 🤭 I personally find Ironman the most difficult not only in shading but in the overall drawing process since he's the one with the most details. This is also my first time drawing a detailed iron suit. The more details the drawing has, the harder it is to color. Since I'm a 2D artist, I applied 2D coloring style to Ironman even if he is 3D most of the time while ensuring that the shading will give a volume that matches his iron suit. This approach will also be a good match with the other characters that are 2D Japanese anime style. I figured that the metallic look I want to achieve with ironman will depend on the highlights and gradients that will give his suit the right gloss, which will give the right look for his suit. For Vegeta, I based my shading on Dragonball Super since it has a modern look and it has a smooth texture which will match Ironman's texture. I chose the blue sando for his outfit because it's the outfit I like most. He looks badass when he shows off some biceps. Lastly, Zoro is personally my favorite since I'm his fan. I enjoyed drawing him the most. His art style has the most 2D look with his pure cel shading style. I modified it a bit for uniformity. I did some blending to him like what I did to Ironman and Vegeta's shading. The coloring style I did for Vegeta and Zoro is the concept of creating a drawing version of action figures. This matches Ironman's texture while still making them look recognizable since I stick to the original art style for their faces. The only easy part here is the rocky floor becaue the software I am using has a built-in rock brush. This art may have been a tedious work but it's all worth the effort because it's very satisfying to see the ideas that turned into a reality with this result. I only have the background left to do. My target is to finish this art commission this week. I will share the final result. 🤩
