Description I havent drawn a TMNT in almost 20 years. The last one I remember doing was Leonardo when I was back in high school (late 80's). I dug it out of the closet for you all to laugh at... you can check it out here--> [link]

Anyway, I thought Michelangelo would be cool since I myself am almost a nunchaku master... I've had bruised elbows most of my life to prove it

This piece was done with non-photo blue pencils, scanned, then inked in Illustrator. When I got some time this week I'll try throwing down some color...

Thanks! Esas líneas son limpias, ya que sólo son vectores.

Glad you like it, Mike is my fav as well. Not sure when I'll get to another TMNT, but you never know.

Thanks. Working in Adobe Illustrator keep my lines crisp everytime. His pose is typical tmnt, not much room to move in sewers

nice use of illustrator. I'd really like to know your technique- I use illustrator quite a bit... but this is pretty darn good.

FrankRapoza In reply to jamce [2007-09-11 07:05:12 +0000 UTC]

It really isnt that hard. I use a Wacom, but I dont use any brushes, I use them now and then for different effects, but not for this one. I've been using Illustrator since version 88 (which was v2 I think) and the pen tool is now like an extension of my hand...

Sad, but true...

very cool. I hopped on at 9 or 10- I can't remember. I think 10- before that I was using freehand. ...ah Freehand... we had some good times.

This is such a great dynamic pose! I totally dig the line quality especially around the knuckles and the ankles. I can't wait to see this one in color.

Thanks Pat. Again, I was just trying some new techniques... you'll be the first to see it colored I'm sure
