Halos Nach Tariff's Artwork (last update: 26/03/09)
by Halos Nach Tariff » Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:06 pm
20/2/09 • Here is my preliminary sketch of the piece:

It's pretty rough, and Wall•e looks kinda sad...
22/2/09 • I've reworked Wall•e's eyes and done a little shading:

23/2/09 • I got stuck in a traffic jam this morning so I've done some more: I've added shading to Wall•e and EVE:

25/2/09 • Okay, I've done a little work on the background and tried to polish EVE up. I also added a quote at the bottom and did some work on Wall•e's and EVE's trails:

01/03/09 • Here is the next update, I've basically just filled in the bottom half of the background and worked a little on the engine jets and EVE's trail:

03/03/09 • Here is my final, completed piece:

As you can see I've finished the background off and I'm happy enough with it to say that it's finished, I may continue doing a little shading but I doubt it will make a noticeble difference. Thank you all for your kind words as I worked through this piece!
Comments and criticisms welcome!

And I know what you mean about EVE. I'm hoping you get that worked out soon, because even in your picture's unfinished state, it looks amazing. Good job - keep at it!

It turns out EVE is much harder to draw than Wall•e, as she is basically only made up of five shapes you have to get the proportions exactly right, and the lack of edges makes shading difficult. That's why she looks a little too wide, ah well, next time maybe I'll get it right.
Currently I'm trying to get EVE looking shinier and to do Wall•e's extinguisher trail. I'll post when I'm done.

In regards to your question about the 'ion flare' from the engines, try getting rid of the outline and just use shading. It may look more like glowing purple flames then. And the same goes for almost everything too. I was taught in school not to put an outline around objects as it makes things look flat. If you want a more 3D quality, scrap the outlines and really focus on your shading.
That said, you may want outlines in your drawings which is perfectly fine! I still use them in some of mine! It's just something to keep in mind.

For my next picture I'll try without the outline.

This is where I'm going to put my next piece as I start it, I have two pieces which I'm debating between; one is of Wall•e and EVE looking at the tree in the end credits with the lyrics to 'down o earth' written down the side, this will be a colour piece done in pencil crayons.
Either that or I'm thinking of doing a Ratatouille piece, a pencil sketch, of the scene when Colette shows Linguini how to tell bread is good. The scenes dialogue would be written in French on the picture.
I'm a little torn between these two ideas so I'd be glad to hear what you would like to see first.

As someone who's drawn EVE, I can totally relate to that! She really isnt as easy to draw as she looks. Everything is on her basic shape and the shading because she doesnt have much else. She's like drawing an egg, and drawing eggs can be very difficult.

I think you should do both! The Wall E one first so you can continue to work with the same characters for a bit. I always like working with on subject for awhile and then switching it up. And besides, I'd like to see you work with color.

As for what type of composition you should work on next, I'm with Hannahmation on this: I think that you should do both. I would also like to see you tackle the WALL-E one first, but it's ultimately up to you!
