Naruto Characters: Sasuke Uchiha (part 3)

 

Naruto characters - This is time to learn how to draw and color another famous character from the Naruto series Uchiha Sasuke!

 

 

His interactions with his fellow teammates, especially Naruto Uzumaki, make him focus less on revenge at the start of the series. During an encounter with his brother in Part I, Sasuke is easily beaten, which leads him to leave the village to seek more power from the criminal Orochimaru

 

Naruto characters: Sasuke - Lay down the flat colors

 

First thing to do to start coloring our drawing is deciding what colors are we going to use for the different areas. In this case I will color the drawing in a very simple but effective way using only flat colors (no blurring or blending) and flat shadows. So for every hue used there will be only a darker version of it working as our main shadow.

 

Finally we'll add the highlights at the very end of our process.

 

Here you can se the color I have selected for the process from up to bottom we have the skin color, the cloth color, the hairs, the metal plate and inside of the kimono.

 

Let's get started.

In photoshop remember to create a separate level for each area with a different base color then go on and fill the relative area with the relative color. So far very simple!

 

You should be able to get something like this at the end. Use also a separate level for the background and color it with a flat color that harmonizes well with the color used for the main drawing.

Naruto characters: Sasuke - Adding the shadow

 

To add the shadows there is a simple trick. Select the main color of a certain area say the hairs then darken that color at your will at least of about 30 - 50 %. To add it precisely use the LAZO TOOL and select the area you want to add the shadow in and draw precisely using a stylus or your mouse. Than simply fill it in with the darker color.

In this case the light source is located in the upper left of the scene so all the shadows will be located approximately in the bottom right of the scene and the character.

 

Using this guide add the shadows to the character using your imagination and taste.
