Camilo Rojo (Mr.Red) - Art School Journey

Hello everyone!

My name is Camilo Rojon (My pen name is Mr.Red) I am a self-taught artist from Colombia. I truly enjoy everything related to storytelling, manga, and comics. My goal is to become a professional mangaka, share all the amazing stories I have in my mind and be able to live from my work as an artist.

I started my Art School journey a few months ago, but this is my first time sharing it here on the forums. I will start with this short introduction and some art pieces I did before I started this program (it would be awesome to compare them with the portfolio at the end of the program).

I will gradually share my process from now on, so let’s enjoy the journey together.

TERM 01 - PHOTOSHOP FOR DIGITAL PRODUCTION 1

Alright, now I will get into the matter. I am sharing on this post my homeworks of Photoshop for Digital Production 1. To clarify, I used Clip Studio Paint, so I found some tools of CSP need a bit of polishing compared to the latest versions of Photoshop, but I am kinda happy with the result tho. I would highly appreciate any kind of feedback as well!

Pen Control - I think I am okay with this, since I have been practising Digital Art for a while now. However, I learned a lot about the pen editing options offered by CSP.

Image Adjustments - Here I still feel a bit uncomfortable with the last images. I find some differences with the reference image and the result I arrived to. Any suggestions?

Combining Images - Here I found that the hardest thing to do is to make the perspectives of the different images to fit well together. I still feel somenthing is slightly off with the house on the left. Maybe both its proportions and perspective are slightly off.

Apples - I am happy with the result of this homework.

Liquify Face - I must say the Liquify tool for CSP is still far from being as complete as the Photoshop tool, but I am happy with the result and I practised a lot my ability to be as subtle as possible with the tool.

Young to old - Since CSP doesn't work the same way, I had to place both images in the same file, but I happy with the result.

I will be glad to hear any feedback and suggestions you can offer

EXTRA - CEL SHADING

Here is my cel shading practice from Marc's video I did not long ago. It was pretty fun, I think I will keep refining it to make it one of my main art styles. Any feedback is more than welcome

Thank you! I thought about the color palette before rendering, so it definitely helped to keep it balanced

I just love blue/purple shades, they look natural to me. Thanks!
