Sofia Hendrik Tutorial

Gears of War - Judgment’s Sofia Hendrik, I sketched her up with nothing more than a pencil drawing in mind and got carried away. Thought I’d make a quick picture to show you my process on colouring her. So start by inking your pencil diagram and scanning into Photoshop. Next step is to colour every part of her in a grey scale before using a Polygonal Lasso tool to highlight areas and bring a colour gradient to them. Once all the colours are in, I go over any of the coloured areas and choose whether to darken/ lighten them up as I’m looking to get the mid-tone base. I’ll then begin to use the magic wand to grab an area and copy a layer to add shading to it. I’ll use the feather tool to get a nice soft curve to the shading, the higher the number; the more it’s blurred, low numbers for sharp shadows. For the light effects I’ll grab the colour of the light and add the same colour to the outer glow effect and lighten the original colour to make it super bright, this sometime requires a little blur after. After hours and hours and hours of shading and feathering, I have my end result... ta daah!
Hope you like...
