![[The Transformers Archive - an international fan site]](/common/skin/cardbackwide/tfarchive.png)
I like digital art, I love a good scrat away at a graphics tablo as much as the next man but in the back of my mind it something is missing. For me it just dosent quite feel as real as when a grab a brush and physically put paint to paper, I just love the feeling when I'm physically sculpting or drawing. So with that in mind and a spare day at college I made this. I plan to send it to the UK Transformers comic as I'm tired of small childrens scribbley Starscreams.
1. Find a picture of your desired Transformer and then grid it.
2. Get a canvas or a peice of paper masking taped to some board.
3. Grid said paper or canvas. There MUST be the same amount of squares as on the original gridded picture.
4. Paint the squares in block colour using a mix of the colours in the square on the original picture. For example- original pic- red and black your painting- very dark red.
The end result should be like a pixelated image.
5. Now we add the detail, this is done by painting small shapes in the coloured squares to look like the corresponding square on the original pic. Close up its jibberish but back away and you should see it.
6. Fill in the back ground squares with more funny shapes.
7. Stand back and appriciate your work.
