Hi All
I suggest you a little Challenge
This is an image of a crazzy french painter "Cali"
She has a Personnal Site : CaliRezo
Clic on "the little stones" up side page for see her crazzy paintings

I have her permission for you to "colorize" with all functions of Zbrush her charming "sketch auto-portrait" in Zbrush "Speed Painting" !
Just respect the format of 500*500 pixels or "pixols" (or less) but not more !
You can make all that you want but not manipulation as "bumping" the "Cali model" on a 3D objects !
It's an exercice of "Colorization" & "painting"
Painting with Zadd yes, Zbrush can paint in "thickness"
All Alpha, textures, material can be use
Multi-layers authorized
It's for show if Zbrush can make the same (or better ? than prog like photoshop or painter
You can see numerous examples (more 100 )
for have some ideas if you clic on "Arena" in her site!

For the normal users just right Clic Button/Save the image and use it in ZB
For the demo users just load this cali.zip (load Tools)
You can redraw it on the canvas with normal Brush + Texture + Alpha 0 + Stroke drag
Rect with rgb Only 100%
Have fun Colorizing "speed painting"!

Ps you can also take your time
Pss We are now quasi 10 000 Zbrushers, let see how many try this funny thing

My try in 3 minutes


The try of Juandel (I don't know the Time)

[robotalk]

Super de- duper-ly charming !!!
good work both of you !!!

[juandel]

that one took about 15 minutes and included a run of Svengalis fabulous Scanscript, Pilou

here is another try after first preparing a few selections in photoshop to be imported as alpha to make stencils (something went wrong so outlines are too fat :rolleyes - so it took about 1 hr

edit: to leave out photoshop it wouldnt have been too difficult to manually create the stencils inside z - but it would have taken loger than with magic wand in ps

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hehe Juandel transgress the rules and talk me that he was desolated
He has reading too speed the rules
Next time, it's will be all made in Zbrush
But you right a magic wand in Zb Should be terrific
Have happy colorizing & painting!

Hi Kokoro
When I say "Crazzy" (a neologism because crazzy with 2 "z" don't exist it's for me gorgegeus, somptuous, wondeful, fantastic, beautiful, astonished...
I hope you make a try
Have fun Colorization & painting!
Pilou

Hi King Vincent

Théo

[kokoro]

i made "speedy" painting (2 and half hour, and this is my fastest painting ever ... ) and all zbrush, paint brush and a little smudge ... and result ? zbrush has great painting tools, they compete with photoshop, just feel different ... thanks for the fun !

[Frenchy Pilou]

My 3 minutes of Cali speed painting

[Fouad B.]

just one question :

"painting" in 3 mn... what for ?

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Fouad
It's just a "speed painting session"
Classic mode of work in the world of graphism (peinture, Bd, graph, tag
Fun before all things !
Spontaneity before precision !
And with this method you can make many try in a small time !
But you can also take your time

You have not seen this at Cgtalk ?
There is an enormous thread about this !
"Speed painting"
(sorry for not take the link, but for crazzy reason I have not more access at this time to the nebulous of Cgtalk
Take a look at
CaféSalé Forum Big section of Speed painting inside
Have happy surfing!

Hi Frenchy,

This is a fun exercise.

Here's my contribution.

30minutes. Only the 'Single layer brush' was used. No Photshop.

Being a user of Painter and Photoshop, this is just as good.

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Cwhal
Very cool !
If that please you can make another, there is no problem
Have funny painting!
Pilou
Ps Can you post it (the above painting) at
Café Salé the forum where Cali has started her thread or do you want that I make this for you ?
If you make it, It's Forum/Dessin/Arena/ptit croquis de minuit

ptit croquis de minuit = little sketch of midnight
