Subtitles of the Movie

Now its time to add the final details which entail the wrinkles and the eye so that the pterodactyl looks more like the sketch. As you see I've gone ahead and added the other leg using the same technique that we used in the last movie to add the rear wing. I just created a new layer and put it underneath the body. So what I'm gonna do is turn off the sky and I'm gonna go to the body layer and reduce the opacity so I can see the sketch. I'm gonna go to the top of this stack here, click on clouds and add a new layer. And we are gonna call this details and we're gonna zoom in and with a nice dark color, we're going to grab the pencils, I chose the pencil category here and a 2B pencil. We're gonna start to paint in the wrinkles in the sketch and it really doesn't matter if the opacity is kind of harsh, I have it at a hundred percent, we can always reduce that later on. Just gonna color the eyeball in here, gonna get that little hotspot, gonna fill in the nose and add this line here. If you ever mess up don't forget you can always go to the erasures and chose a soft erasure to make all your mistakes go away. If you have a Wacom tablet you can always flip the pen upside down. I'm holding the space bar now, so I can move. I'm gonna just improvise actually and add some more stuff like some abdominal muscles, hopefully a pterodactyls had those. Hopefully they worked out in a gym so, gonna go ahead and just add a lot of detail to this, wrinkles are everywhere and some of the muscles and the way that the leg would actually go into the torso area. And these wrinkles going into the tail, I'm just gonna make some up as I go along. And a little bit of the muscle there and all these wrinkles on the toes. I just want to show the separation between those toes there. Holding down the spacebar again so I can scroll up, just want to go ahead and draw a nice line, I messed up a little bit so I'm gonna undo, and I'm just gonna draw a line, for this area and some wrinkles as we go off into the fingers there. And just add some lines here and I could add a line here as well but I'm gonna see how that looks, see whether that's gone too far, sometimes you can add lines that don't really belong so we'll find out in a second once we turn the opacity back up. Now I'm gonna zoom back out, you'll notice by the way if you have the zoom tool selected you have a little plus sign in there, but if you hold down the option or the alt key, and click you'll be able to zoom out and that's a little too far so I'm gonna double click on this guy. And double click on the hand tool to go back to full size, let's go to the body.
