Character Step by step: Create Pixar-style artwork Well Done 2010 Create a cartoony character with vivid colours, which is both charming and visually appealing to the viewer Daniel Schmid specialises in lighting, rendering, shading and texturing T his is a quick tutorial based on the creation of the image Well Done. The idea came from our concept artist at the company, Salvador Ramirez (http://www. reevolver.deviantart.com). The minute I saw the concept drawing I started to visualise it in 3D. Designing the girl Inspiration behind the scene Soon I had fellow workmate, Omar Sealtiel (http:// omarsealtiel.blogspot.com), interested in modelling the character so I could work on the textures, shading, lighting and rendering. My main focus was to experiment with lighting techniques I hadn’t previously tried. I wanted to achieve a Pixar look, and also to give the viewer a pleasant image full of bright colours and with a good composition. I dedicated a lot of time to the smallest details such as lighting tone, texture quality and overall mood so the image could ultimately exude a warm feeling. On a visit to the school where my sister 01 teaches, I notice how nice it is to see the kids at play and enjoying themselves. It makes me think to myself, “If this works for real life, it could make for a fun digital painting as well!” Once back home, I draw this little girl from memory. I use primary colours and funny 02 proportions to enhance the cuteness of the character. I also search for references that I correct later to give me a nice guide so that I can paint the textures as clearly as possible. The overall aim is to make her look interesting and mischievous. I end up with this beautiful girl with pigtails 03 who I feel is reminiscent of Pixar-like characters. All she needs is to be given a few articles that will tell us something about her and make her look more natural – hence the star on her forehead and those yellow rubber boots. Concept complete! 149
