Basic rough sketches experimenting with tentacles on aliens, fishes and spiders. I did this so I can see which on works best and how I can manipulate the tentacles to look. my final Idea however, would be the alien guy that has tentacles coming out from his back.
This is my alien Caterpillar classwork I did using Photoshop. Firstly I made a rough sketch of the character using the brush tool tuning down the thickness to add the pencil effect. Secondly I set the first layer to multiply so i can go over it without interrupting the rough outline. I increased the thickness of the pen and began to make the drawing stand out. Setting that layer to multiply I started to lay the basic flat colors on the character. before I got to the fourth layer I changed the RGB of the third layer to grey scale so that on the fourth layer I can add shadows. Finally I work well in to the paint as best as I can to get more realism.
