Lighting and Recreating Robo



Junk Robo is a go-go!
This week's assignment was to create a 3 point lighting arrangement and recreate the subject.
For this I placed a favorite junk-assembled robot on top of various sketchbooks to stabilize it on the slanted light table.  The light table provided a strong rim lighting all around the figure, while the light form the room provided ambient light, and I used a friend's phone flashlight for the spotlight.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the result, blocking out the shapes and sampling the colors directly from the photo was easy enough as I worked them in the same document. The lighting is fuzzier in my recreation but I feel it's more dramatic and emphasizes the 'giant robot stomping through the city' look I had tried to recreate with the under lighting.
