How to draw Matt Patt from Game Theory

Here is a quick tutorial on how to draw Matt Pat from Game Theory. This is a continuation of my previous post so with out further delay here is the tutorial.

I will be using photoshop for the quick sketch and illustrator for the line art and colours.

Fist I start off with doing a quick sketch in light blue. Light blue is just about visible but will not get on the way when I ink the piece (using dark colours can make it more difficult when moving on to the final line art as I find it tends to look similar to black ink.

Next I create the line art. In illustrator I use the blob brush tool (cmd + B) and just draw the outlines on the quick sketch. The quick sketch is then removed as I no longer need it. 

With the line art complete I then proceed to adding the colours. There are several ways of doing this in illustrator but I use the blob brush tool.

Now it is just the shadows.

Finally I add the background and we are done.

Once again I must encourage you to check out the game theory channel. If you are a fan of video games you will love some of the information and theories.

Game Theory fan art

I watch a lot of videos on youtube. Currently one of my favourite channels is the Game Theory channel hosted by Mat Pat. Anyway being the geek I am I wanted to show my appreciation for the show by creating some art.

For all those interested in the show here is one of the videos. Enjoy.

Hands study

Fully rendered manga hands. Took me about 2 or 3 hours to do all 8.

Sketchbook work

More quick sketchbook work. Figures and hands seem to be improving. Not much more to say, just got to keep going. 

Pose study

Quick posemaniac pose. Some difficult foreshortening. Also trying to get into the habit of drawing hands (still weak at drawing hands) 

Quick sketches

So I am on holiday at the moment so here are some very quick sketches. Currently working on a big project but more on that when I get back home.

Testing out some new toys

So the other day I descovered the blob paint brush and the live paint tool in adobe illustrator. Well I found I really like those tools and they have sped me up no end. Here is the result of a quick pose I drew.

The finish is really nice but I still need a bit more extra practice. I should have the weekend free so I will play around more then.
