Hi there!
This time I did a pin up based off of the Dexter novels. Yes, they were novels before the show started. *Sigh*
Anyways. This isn't Dexter.. obviously. This is one of his victims.. before he chops them up into little pieces. :D
So, I started with a sketch. Which I did on my tablet, cause I need the practice, and it's so much fun.
After a bit more sketchy layers, I got to the clean line art of the girl. I really just wanted to outline the girl, and keep the background pretty loose.
Then the flat colour of the girl. I didn't do a flat colour of the background.
Then I did the background with like a smokey, dirty look. And the table just by eye. No measuring or anything.
Shaded the skin, try to make her look like she's probably been sitting there for awhile.. despite her position.
I think I did a little better with the hair this time around. I'm still playing around with it. Red hair is much easier to do though.
I went in a few directions after this stage... I'm just gonna show them all.
First I wanted to show the pictures that Dexter tapes up before the victim's. The pictures are of the ones they killed. It's like part of his ritual. Also! Blood. :D
After that, I put the plastic wrap around the girl, because that's what Dexter does to keep them in place.
I started not liking the pictures up on the wall. They just looked out of place. No matter what I did to them... So I took them off. And added blood to the background. :)
Then I added in some little dotted highlights. I thought it kind of looked pretty.
Okay, so after all that. I took the plastic wrap off, cause it looked kind of wrong. And the highlights are gone too, cause she's suppose to be dead. Dead things aren't suppose to be all shiny.
And that is my Dexter pin up girl. :)
