Time for something different. There is a member of the Halo community that recently did a grid drawings of the Halo 3 Master Chief. And after seeing his drawing I realized I hadn't done a grid drawing in years. And I figured I would share with my fellow Fin Fans to show I am not limited to just Photoshop.
So, after seeing his picture I wanted to do one of Chief as well. So I thought, why not do the new Chief from Halo 4. I figured it would be a bit of a challenge because there aren't a lot of pictures of him just yet. So I took a screen shot from the E3 demo (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) (a much bigger version of that one) and cropped it down so it wasn't so big. I used Photoshop to make it gray scale and sized it down to roughly a 4x6 picture for printing. But I am only using the gray scale picture to get the rough shape of the armor down. Once I have the line art done I will be using oil pastels to color it. I did a Darth Maul drawing (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) (I no long have the original drawing.) like this for a friend several years back.
So I then glued the gray scale picutre onto a piece of grid paper and drew my grid over it. I then scaled it up to a poster board with 1.5 inch squares. So the actual size of my drawing is 19.5 inches wide and 27 inches high.
Here is my progress so far:
Here is a picture (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)of the grid with the original picture for size comparison.
This is a close up (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) on the rough sketch of Chief. I did this just to make sure everything was in the right place before adding detail.
And this is my progress (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) so far with the details of the armor.
I will update this as I make progress on it.
