Project 3 Update

Ok so I realised I haven't really blogged any of my work for this project so far, so I will try and rectify this now by posting some of the bits and pieces I've been working on.



Here are some experiments I did on various techniques to get the sketchy hand drawn look I was after for sketchboy. In the first experiment I rendered out a simple walk cycle from 3DS Max, I then printed these frames out, traced them by hand and then scanned them back in. Although it was quite quick to do, I felt the finished piece looked quite flat and lacked detail.



Next I tried drawing over the frames in photoshop using the line tool, this was quite slow going, and I wasn't really all that happy with the results.



Lastly I tried drawing over the frames with the pencil tool, and used a Wacom to do so, This was much faster than using the mouse and produced a much better result.
