| Here's a pencil sketch. I added the circle and text on the
computer. |
 |
|
On a new layer, made a new clean line version
with the Ink brush in a light sepia tone.
|
 |
|
Using the watercolor brush on wet rake and smooth
paper, I added in skin tones.
|
 |
|
To give darker values I decided to use blue insted of greyish
pink or orange.
Then I smoothed them out a bit with the pure water brush.
|
 |
|
Then I started on the shirt.
Layed in a few different values of green...
|
 |
|
then a few values of blue to make the shirt more snazzy.
|
 |
|
Then I took the pure water brush again and smoothed it all
out a bit.
|
 |
|
Added a few darker areas with the watercolor brush on a darker
blue and smoothed out just a tidge with the pure water brush.
|

|
|
Started laying in values for his jeans. They're blue! Go
fig.
|
 |
|
Added some darker values, smoothed/ blended a bit.
|

|
|
Did the zippers on his legs, started on his wings.
|
 |
|
Darker values on his wings; no smoothing with water yet.
|
 |
|
Finished his wings, started on shoes with brown and blue.
|
 |
|
Finished the shoes with the pure water brush and a touch
of lighter watercolor.
|
 |
|
Here I've begun to layer in values in this hair. I started
very light.
|
 |
|
Some darker values in there. Made sure to leave some areas
white so they'd be extra shiney.
|
 |
|
Pure water brush on the hair to blend it a bit.
|
 |
|
They eyes! The eyes! Pretty self explanatory.
|
 |
|
A few highlights on his glasses to make them stand out more.
|
 |
|
Back to that circle thing, but in Photoshop.
|
 |
|
Using the various rotation and palette arc tools I created
text that fitted to the oval.
|
 |
|
I then cut out the middle of the oval so it's now a ring.
|
 |
|
And filled the inside with a circular gradient.
|
 |
|
Then I used a fun filter, Distort - Wave.
And erased a bit of the middle behind his head.
|
 |
|
Using the Blending Options, I added an outer glow to the
text and oval to make it stand out a bit more.
|
 |
|
Then I added some highlighting effects to his hair and glasses.
|
 |

Added my signature and he's done.
