/It's gonna blur! It's gonna blur!! It's gonna blurRRR!!!/ | |
This is my second /original/ personification ("gijinka") character | |
that I have posted any artwork on: | |
Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD | |
digital bridge camera; here he is being a real uncooperating | |
piece of work when taking photographs under this sort of | |
low-light condition. I could clearly imagine the kid's | |
nervous squeal in my head when drawing this. | |
Visible on-screen settings are, from right to left, top to bottom: | |
manual mode, multi-spot metering mode, custom white balance, | |
10 megapixel resolution, normal JPEG quality, ISO 400 sensitivity, | |
1/15 sec shutter speed, f/3.5 aperture. | |
This guy used to be my family's camera; but as everyone else | |
eventually moved on to better cameras, he ended up being entrusted | |
to me. It used to be hopeless to take any usable photo | |
with this camera when the "Blur warning" icon appeared on the OSD | |
(i.e. calculated shutter speed is lower than 1/50 sec at | |
1x zoom level). Equipped with the owner's manual and techniques | |
from various digital photography handbooks; I eventually managed | |
to unlock his full potential with manual mode, and have taken | |
pictures that could outshine ones shot vis-a-vis by another amateur | |
wielding an actual DSLR. | |
In drawing this, I am not well-versed with wrinkles on the clothing | |
to be honest; had to redo it several times. The characters' | |
animesque looks are totally intentional on the other hand. | |
This is my first time using tilted perspective, which made | |
the scene look more dynamic; and I will openly admit that this is | |
the first time I have properly drawn nose pads on characters' | |
glasses too. (How embarrassing) | |
I will call this kid "Cameron Fujiyama" in case I need to refer | |
to him later; also beware that his look might be deceiving: | |
at 14 years old, he is actually very old for a digital camera. | |
