Yesterday, I showed everyone the inked version of the metal detecting logo that I created for recent client. Here is a link to his site! Vertex Airsoft So I went for a different approach this time and created a animation to show you how a create this type of logo in stages.
The first step is to perpare the ink drawing for color. Next I color my image using just standard base colors like blue, green, white, gray....you get the idea!!
The second step is to add the shadows to the image. The shadows color are determined by the base color that I used to color the image. For example: on the shirt, the base color is green, so the shadows on the shirt will be a darker green. *How dark the green should be really depends on the artist's taste
After placing all of the shadows, its time for the highligts. Highlights are place on the cartoon where I think sunlight would hit the figure if he was real. Typically I use the color white for the highlights, but the exception is on the shirt. The highlights on the shirt are actually a brighter green. I felt the white over powered the green making the cartoon look funny.
Lastly, to finish off the logo, I created a simple patch of grass underneath him. The more I looked at it, the more I new something was missing. That's when I said " Duhhh Fred...he's just standing in mid air " and so the grass patch was create to give him stability!
I hope you enjoyed the animation, if you have question, or comments, feel free to post them love to here what you have to say. Also if you need a custom logo of your own don't hesitate to ask!
