Toning lesson...

Here you have some toning practice with photoshop. Anatomy never was my favorite discipline so many mistakes are surely visible but this is not the case. This drawing of a woman with a strange pyramidal helmet (something like in Silen Hill but different shape) can show how toning really begins and ends. The bottom of the page is just raw sketch. The body without legs is covered with basic strokes to make shadows, but the helmet itself has some part of post- sketching on it. The most important thing is not to start toning if we are not sure if the basic sketch is really good. It is much more work when we want to make something beautiful from a crap lineart. I adopted this method of sketching on photoshop from Min's sketchbook on conceptart.org Oh and one hand is missing. :P
