Who said people who spent too much time watching movies and reading comic books were useless?
Iron man, done this right after watching Iron Man two. Bought a copy of IFX that day, and read a particular article on clouds which I found very useful for this piece.
I was experimenting on the drawing elements of Metal and Clouds. The clouds were done first in this piece, thanks to the guide from the magazine and my other reference books. Metal however was a different story, no matter how much I read and reread my reference materials I couldn't get it right the first few times. Even now I think I haven't fully grasped painting metal. I can say however, I've learned at least two of its aspects.
One is that metal's color varies depending on the environment. For example the reflection on the gold plating, aside from having a white sheen, the sky's color adds to it making it a tad bit blue/grey instead of pure white.
Two, the color of metal increases in saturation as it begins to get darker, and decreases in saturation as it becomes lighter.(Correct me if I'm wrong here.)
Well I'll keep this one short. Thanks for reading.
