Learning to work in a new way (Week 4)

Little did I know that there are other ways of producing concept art then traditional/ digital drawing. This week in class my lecturer taught us a very interesting way to produce concept images in a unique way quickly and efficiently using just a sheet of paper, a webcam and some simple textures. We simply scrunched the paper until we felt like we could vaguely see a figure or head of a creature, then we took a photo of the scrunched up sheet of paper at the best possible angle we could using the webcam. Using layer masks we painted the textures on to make the character feel like it had an element of texture influencing it until it the sheet of paper no longer appeared like a sheet of paper. Finally we added finishing touches such as eyes and colour to really make the image pop. Here is an image of the piece I created using this technique in an hour:

Overall I am very pleased with this particular technique and would enjoy to learn other ways of creating art for my games in a unique and efficient manner
