"Crank!" - A visual representation of hearing upsetting words.
One part shock. One part pain. One pinch anger.
Stage 1: Sketch
A simple sketch, photographed and sent to Photoshop
Stage 2: Lines/color-blocking
refined my lines and layed down the base color
Stage 3: Burn
Using the burn tool i began mapping out the shadows
Stage 4: Refinement
Using the Paintbrush I begin to refine the shapes and volumes
Stage 5: Final Touches
Continuing with the paintbrush, I introduce new color tones, and continue to smooth out and refine the shapes until I'm happy. A little bit of color correction also goes in the mix before adding the final details
Color layer without the lines
I did all the painting on one layer for a more painterly feel. This is what it looks like with the lines turned off.
