here's the pic: http://members!.lycos!.nl/tmvgabel/Colors-!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: on the top of the head there are rectangular pieces, you can see the tops of them!. If the viewer was looking up at the image you would see the bottom of them!. You would see the under side of his chin and nose!. You have drawn it as if you were looking at it from a little above him!. When drawing something towering, think of how it would look if you were standing under it looking up!. Your prospective point would be on the top of your page!. I wouldn't change it!. leave it a this perspective, it would be difficult to correct!. Its very good as it is! Try another-one one with you point on top of the page all vertical line would go to this point!. The creature would be bigger at the bottom and would appear to get smaller at the top!. Think of a tall building when you are looking up!. Hope this helps!. DeborahWww@QuestionHome@Com If the viewer is supposed to be looking up at the Colossus, then you should make a vanishing point for where the head of the Colossus should be, and draw a triangle from the vanishing point to the bottom of the paper!. (The bottom of the paper can be the bottom of the triangle!.) This will help you make the lower half of the Colossus look bigger than the upper half, and shows him looking down on the city!. If the viewer is supposed to see the Colossus from a far, then I'm sure you know to just draw the creature then draw small shapes under it to show it's standing over the city!. Anyway, shading is important to!. If we're looking up at the Colossus, then his head should be dark, and light should glare down on us!. You lighten your shading as the Colossus's body comes closer to us, the viewer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com God I LOVE that game! That is a fantastic picture!. It would be difficult to create the illusion that the creature is towering over the viewer as most people will see it at eye level!. It looks like it IS towering!. It's great!. You could create perspective by adding a figure but that might ruin it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com first off its "achieve" the only thing i can think of is adding those light beams you get when you take a real pic of something!.!.!. u know!.!. the little circles with a light thru it!. photoshop has that filter!. i think its called lens blur!. other than that!.!.!. can you make colossus bigger!? maybe block out some of the sunlight with his massiveness!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Have someone stand over you so you can get the effect of the forershortening of the body and draw what you see not what you think it looks likeWww@QuestionHome@Com |
