I used this drawing process to create an early draft of the final character designs that would be featured in the art book. The protagonist, Vale, seemed like a good place to start and I was able to put several of the methods I'd learnt into practice for this piece.
Putting the character in a simple greyscale made it easier to visualize shadows, form and shape, whilst still keeping the various sections of the character distinct. The addition of a subtle gradient across the character, keeps the viewer focused on his upper half, something I'm quite pleased with.
Hopefully, when more character art is complete, I will be able to apply colour to this image, and use more lighting based techniques to flesh it out further.
