Once the character is roughly sketched and its colors and light slightly blocked, it’s time to begin to define the shapes. I mainly did it this time using hard edged brushes for the large areas of colour, soft but sharpened ones for the details, blending all with soft brushes and lots of smudging. For those parts where definition is highly needed, like the camera edges and the shirt neck is always helpful to use the lasso tools for “masking” the area we want to define, as shown in “3”.
Again, I had to correct several perspective mistakes while working on the atrezzo elements such as the umbrella and hand baggages, specially his right leg, slightly too short regarding the plane he’s supposed to stand on. Finally, my character was close to be finished, but then is when I began to want something around to contextualized him, to make him more credible in an imaginary world, and therefore I sketched some elements around him like a platform with people and the basic structure of a station glass ceiling based on my original perspective lines.
