Blending Technique and Value drawing

Blending Technique: Using colour picking and opacity to blend colours and the latter instead use smudge tool to blend colours. I preferred the smudge tool and it was quick and easy and didn't require accurate colour pick all the time

Value Paintings :

I didn't understand the brief, I thought the task was to sculpt an image out of a few select grays then smudge the lines like the Head Plane task. I found it so difficult not to draw any lines and just build with grays

Skinning and Animation Practice

 For this assignment we had to take a 3D model of a women, and re-texture her in an outfit of her choice and then add a biped bone rig to be able to animate her.

The skinning modifier took a while to understand, but its quite easy. I found the difficult bit was not selecting any accidental verts, even with the lasso tool. So it took a while of going over to make sure, but got there eventually.
Two Videos below, one showing the stretch on the skin.
The other shows adding supplied motion capture files, very fun, quick and easy.

Colour Speed painting

Really struggled with this, due to my control of the brush by hand and blending in the colours; I know a few ways to blend but I couldn't blend the way the original artist did.

Ugly small whale boy

Small thumbnail to see from a distance. Really concentrated on his tones in the hour, didn't have time to finish the blending. I found the task quite useful, being rush really makes you prioritise. I think the teeth where to bright and messy.

Useful short cuts I used along the way:

B for Brush
E for eraser
][ - Brush size
ALT- Click Eye to Hide all other layers
Select colour range works well with this
You can then adjust the selected colour with Image > Adjustments > Brightness

I used Gaussian blurs and a motion blur to blend some main shadows quickly, but need more blending to help fade in.
