THE BACKSTAGE STORY OF THIS WEEK'S ONE HOUR DRAWING CHALLENGE
🕑 Added 2018-09-11 06:10:43 +0000 UTC Here is the backstage story of my illustration for this week's ONE HOUR DRAWING CHALLENGE.In OHDC, I always would like to experiment “composition” because it's challenging. This time, I wanted to try something “action”.
Though it's ONE HOUR CHALLENGE, I do research beforehand about the subjects. This time, “butler/bloodshed”. Then I googled , “butler”, “butler uniform”, “butler at work” and, of course, “sexy butler”. This research is to get an inspiration for my drawing.
Interestingly I found so many images of Japanese manga, “Black Butler”. OMG, to the end, my mind was filled up with the images of “Black Butler”. Good grief.
OK, I decided to draw something like that; a bloodshed battling butler. AND I got a rough idea for the composition.
Well, let's commence. The beginning of one hour.
Firstly, I used DAZStudio 3DCG pose figure to get the glimpse of the composition. I wanted the butler in my drawing to hold a tray so that I got 3D models of a tray and a bottle of whiskys as reference.
The rough draft continues.
Referring the 3DCG image, I quickly drew the image. Keeping the 3DCG image just as a reference is a key. I won't recommend to rely it on too much. Keep it just as a reference.
Then added bloodshed. I used ready-made brushes to use the limited time efficiently.
Since I almost finished the composition, I added some texts. I really like the combination of illustration and text. I guess that's why I like manga very much.
This is the end of first rough draft. It was around 30 minutes.
As I mentioned, I do the research beforehand. Otherwise it must be really hard to finish drawing just in one hour.
Next, finishing the work!
The backstage story continues!

Nice.... I think I would love to read this butler version much more.. some of my friends really love the Japanese manga for Black Butler, especially after it got translated to English here, but somehow, I find your butler much more... appealing.
Thank you!!! :D
