Journey of a Game Designer

So I continued with the drawing for my mother and coloured it. Now it is a flat, meaning there is no depth of view in the moment. That will happen in the next step, when I start shading the picture. I still might do some small changes in the basic colors and the poses, as I did this time. Now Before I definitely have to clean the outlines a bit, since some of them are still pretty rough. See you next time!

Everybody knows the problem: Somebody important to you has his or her birthday and there you stand, without a clue what to gift. Well, today was the birthday of my mother. This year I wanted to draw something for her, something beautiful. But the time kind of ran away from me and now the day has come and I am starting with working on her gift... today. A bit late, I know, but luckily my mother is a very understanding person. So I thought I would share the progress of working on it with you! Today I worked on the layout of the drawing using silhouettes. All characters are from Studio Ghibli movies, since my mother and I love watching those movies together. Next I will start colouring it, but first only as a flat (meaning no big light effects etc.)

Okay, I admit it: I had so much fun working in Photoshop today, that I continued anyway, even though I had other things to do for university. Don´t tell my professors. Anyway, for a fact, my favorite franchise is Fire Emblem. And because of that I probably spend to much time thinking about it. Some time ago I found this community: https://fecompendium.tumblr.com/ called Fire Emblem Compendium. They do pretty cool drawing challenges and I decided to tackle one of the older ones called Random Character Challenge . I got Elphin and I didn`t knew anything about him. Because his game never released outside of Japan. But he seems to be a good guy, I like his design, so I like drawing him. I am not done with my drawing of him yet, but here is a picture of the progress I made today. More is coming soon! My Elph...
