Sum dum goy

getting into this and grooving on it... finally nailed the composition of it after trial and error. I think it's called negative space something I've done very few of in my time but yeah I like that stuff where you can create a multi layered drawing sometimes. Everything is always so straight forward. I say live a little... make it fun.

Will bust ass on this all day I think, finish it and I'm falling in love with these tablet sketch programs.

Might seriously consider putting together my Raven and Bishop comics on this and get them going... ironic too since I seriously started using the internet as a kid to read comics online. Full circle I guess...

Edit...

ok, this will essentially be it. I don't generally roto but I had no choice since I typically don't draw little ernie reyes jr or any of these people so in this case I had to copy his famous pudgy face from the movie... I have to admit I was surprised when he showed up in the movie when I first saw it, like, wow, say what? what's he doing in this, makes sense but I didn't see it coming. Obviously he was getting a leg up into a career in film and showing off what he could do, and most likely it was vital to him getting other roles from the exposure in TLD...

You'll see, the hard part is very much over, now comes the part I do actually like, the coloring and shadowing and adding depth and texture. Could likely all be done by week's end if I stop being a lazy bum, we'll see...

Definitely when you do stuff like this you gain more experience doing the tough stuff like hands and noses. Not easy but you learn the shortcuts to making it work. If I can give advice on those treat them like clay or even mittens first then worry about fingers. As far as noses go, get the bird shape down like todd mcfarlane suggested in his tutorial. I was struggling with the nose then just decided to bird shape it first and it fell into place fine after that so of course todd wasn't lying about it... Bird shape means don't worry about the bridge of the nose at all, figure out the beak (tip) and wings (nostrils) aspect then the rest will be easier.. Very true...
