1. I began designing my raster character by beginning a basic outline of a photo of myself that I had
edited previously with different clothing to make the process easier on myself later on.
I then began adding basic details to my upper and lower body such as shoes and adding more detail
to the jacket to make it more interesting.
2. I coloured these items using a colour pallet that I setup myself and used 9 basic colours and adjusted
the tones accordingly.
I began work on the leg using a reference image and bringing it into illustrator and tracing around it.
I adjusted the perspective of the image slightly so that it fit in and didn’t look skewed or odd.
3. I did the same thing with the prosthetic arm as I did with the leg and added shadows and shading as
well as highlights in areas that needed them.
Once I had finished colouring all of the areas, I began to make small pieces of detail such as the
medal as well as the various areas of shadows and highlights. I also began to neaten some areas up
or remake anything that I wasn’t happy with.
4. Overall I’m very happy with my final design
and I feel that it worked rather well.
