Description Struggling to catch up on my workload at the moment, so here's an oldie from 2005.
Designed this character [link] then some months later decided to try painting the same character in a more 'realistic' and pinup kinda way and this was the result. Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop.

Based on my fab friend who bore more than a passing resemblance to the original cartoon character sketch and helped out with posing for this piece!

Thanks so much... its very helpful for me..I am just starting with photoshop and its very hard to do things what I want yet..
I struggle with adjustment how big (kB, MB) picture must be to do passing places...
I know its stupid problems but i am learning only from advice and manuals from internet...
So I am so glad when its somebody who answer me ...

wich are brushes that you used to color?

Loopydave In reply to brianmiroglio [2009-08-18 01:32:07 +0000 UTC]

I pretty much use standard photoshop brushes - a big soft one for gradient tones, and a hard edge one for hard edges. I occasionally use a custom brush made up of a series of dots with the hair, but mostly just use the ones available, coz I like to keep things simple.
