After many attempts the composition ended up as a close up of the apes face up staring at the viewer, as his face and suit reveal that he has gone through many difficult times before returning to Earth! I try to compose the image according to the concept of illustration, after several attempts and sketches I decided that the most important thing was to display a foreground image of the ape looking straight at the camera. In this tutorial we will explore and develop the concept, as well as focus on the use of light to give more intensity to the drawing and the advantage of using of texture brush effects to finish of the work. In this tutorial I will focus on the second illustration, the ape returning to earth. At first the main idea was to make two pictures, one with the ape at the time of the test and another when he returned years later, to see the comparisons between these two great moments. With that in mind I started to design a composition. But the ape returns with clear evidence of having lived an odyssey to get home, as well as a strong change in attitude, as if the journey had made the ape become cold and more intelligent. After reading about this I came up with idea of a story about a lost mission at that time, where the pilot would have been a young ape lost for years, mysteriously returning to earth. and USSR were experimenting with the effects of space travel on living organisms, and how they could test what humans would experience by using mammals such as dogs and monkeys. The concept of the work arose from reading about the cold war and the space race, where scientists from both the U.S. This tutorial is about the steps I followed to create the concept, design and illustration of my work titled The Lost Mission. Juan Carlos (Juanco) Alegre shares the process he used to create his image The Lost Mission, demonstrating texturing techniques along the way.
