Description Sometimes it's really difficult to determine whether something should go in traditional or digital art.

Ethan's getting some stories again, so there might be more drawings of him forthcoming. (He needs a haircut...) He's a big boy now, just turned 26. You usually see him at a keyboard, though, not a proper piano.

Digital without pencil: [link]

Pencil (HB/2B/4B), Adobe Photoshop CS5, Wacom Intuous4 tablet, 4-5 hours...

Yo! Who's Ethan? Looks like Tommy Joe to me. Anyway, Great job. Love the lighting and shadow on this. What medium did you use?

He's a personal character that I wrote for for years.

And the medium is listed right there in the A/N.

Aw, I love the moody lighting! And I agree with what Alex said above, it does look like colour pencils.
He looks so focused. Wonder what he's playing.^^

Like I'd ever have the patience to do something like this with colour pencils. Colour pencils are the bane of my existence. ...One of many banes.

I'm gonna say he's playing this: [link] (Yes, that's all a playlist of the kind of music he plays. And I love this particular song so much.)

Also, sneak preview of current project: [link]

Oh, I like this song. :3
Yeah, I never got the hang of coloured pencils.

I feel so special when I get to look at sneakpeeks.

You have to fulfill two criteria to get sneakpeeks: 1) Be a friend. 2) Comment on deviantArt. ...Actually, the latter one isn't even necessary, as long as I communicate with you online, like MSN/AIM. XD

Alternatively, you can just stalk out this folder for unposted art and works in progress. [link] (Like silence!Canton and ace!Eleven.) (And this one for 3D: tinypic.com/useralbum.php?ua=asYxbvhdowU3opAm8aIHig%3D%3D )

Hey, I still feel special.
Do I have your msn btw? I add people, but they usually don't appear as online, so I wonder if the invites don't get through, or maybe I'm doing it wrong. XD

I could stalk that, but it's funnier to talk to you and have you handpick what you want me to see.^^

You can feel special I count you as a friend?

My MSN's krharbek@online.no. I'm pretty much always online. What's yours, I can add you?

Fair enough. ^^

Yes, I feel so frikken special you even take the time to come visit us once in a while. *cuddles*

Cause you're all awesome, so it's fun to hang out at your place. Of course, I'm now in the middle of a very busy time at school, so suddenly I don't have all that much spare time, for socialising OR drawing.

I added you, sooo, just accept me?

That's awful, in a backwards-way. Hope your schoolwork goes smoothly!

He looks great; so focused on the playing. Love his expression {: And the lighting is

The picture looks best as a merge of the pencil and digital ones. It looks almost like you've colored it with color-pencils.

harbek In reply to Frikar [2011-10-26 18:30:36 +0000 UTC]

The lighting was fuuun. Particularly on his arms, for some reason.

The pic without pencil lines is mostly to show how sloppy I was with keeping inside lines and things like that. Cause the pencil work does so much of the job for you.
