My entry for the July contest

[baskijat]

Hi everyone,

As I wrote in the contest thread, I'm posting some sketches, details and reference photographs that I used for my artwork. If you have any comments or questions please don't hesitate to post If you want to see the finished artwork go to the contest thread.


This is the initial value sketch that I used to establish the composition:




These are some of the references that I used. All the photographs were shot by me.




And here are some sketches and details of the artwork:


Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for sharing the way you work baskijat.

It would be very interesting every month winners (and not necessarily winners) show us how they work.
Just to learn some tricks and keep on dreaming on win the 40 DVD's, to keep on learning...

My entry for this month was done very quick and didn?t get any image on the process (as I use to do).
Maybe on august's contest.

Thanks again, and good luck with your illustration!

trapallan and DennisVR, thanx for the repiles, and I sincerely hope that you were able to benefit from my work. It is a brief how-to though, if I have time I'll send a more detailed tutorial of the process. Thanks again and the best of luck in this and future contests .
