A few weeks ago, Reiniger posted some awesome drawn pictures of Empire characters. He agreed to e-mail them to me so that I could use them in my Photoshop class (I'm a high school teacher). I gave the assignment to David, a 12th grader in my class. He set out to "redraw" the images...eliminating the hand-drawn lines and replacing them with digital lines. After he created this template, he used Photoshop to color and render the image. In all, I think it took him 4-5 weeks of class time to get this done...or since whenever Reiniger posted the original images.
The original sketch:
The template:
David's colored version:
I am very pleased with these and David's attention to detail is remarkable for a guy his age.
I'm going to direct David to this thread, so please feel free to give him any comments you may have.
