I´ve produced a speed sketch about a massive creature. Even this simple paint i maintain some artprogress, always thinking to turn a smple paint into a study and try to absorb as much as possible from this.
1 -I´ve started with simples masses of grey tones, to fit the idea end the space on canvas.
2- Using more of the grey tones to set up a light and how the background will split the character.
3- Adding some colors over the grey tones, this case, redish, orange , greenish and blue tones for the skin.
4- For thsi final part, i spend some tiem refine some focused areas like head and torso, but, sometimes you need more light to fit the character well, like a new source of light, i put some fire from the inside infected body and an a green orb, as you can see, the green orb glow got a good feeling on metal parts, like the left arrm and the clave.
