Rain, rain... it went away!


Click on the image for the bigger version. DO IT!

Here are some snaps of the process:


The shitty original sketch. I came pretty close to chucking it.


Fixing up the sketch. You can see the the body structure here. That really helped in getting the proportions right.


Cleaned up line-work.


Some flat colour.


An alternative colouring I did using the burn and dodge tools. I didn't really like the artificial look, so I went for more painterly colouring.


Finished colour, before colour-adjusting with the background.

Hey, It would be great to know the software u R using.

I was amazed to know you are just 14, is that correct???

Thumbs up!

Most of my images are made using Photoshop CS and I draw using a Wacom Intuos 2 drawing tablet. Sometimes I use Corel Painter in conjunction with Photoshop, but not always.

I'm not really 14. Sorry if my MySpace page is misleading, but I just put that there as a joke. I'm actually 20 years old. Not that impressive now, eh? :)

Thanks for your support!
