Ok, well, I decided that today would be a great day to pump out yet another practice illustration to get the juices flowing before the beginning of the semester (counting the days). So, here it is, “Ultimate Weight Gain Challenge Finalist.” I know, a rather long winded name. The name really doesn’t mean anything, I simply thought it was fitting with the original sketch so viola! I’m getting more and more comfortable to this technique, or rather the process that I’ve been playing around with. This illustration worked out much faster than I anticipated, sure I decided to go for three color variation opposed to my usual of four, but none the less this subject was a bit more daunting than the robot. My next step is to create more detailed sketches before illustrating. Thus, more thumbs, more rough sketches, and final sketch. Below is the full illustration and the original sketch. I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Used: sketchbook, blue led pencil, illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, brain.
