June 23, 2011 : Cel-Shading… Old School

So I was able to devote some time to complete a drawing I was working on last week. It’s been a while since I’ve gone past a  rough sketch – including inking (digitally), coloring, and dropping in a background. I’m pretty happy with the end result:

The posing is simplistic – the drawing was conceived with the setting in mind (a dark alley). I intend future drawings to possess more action. While I like how everything turned out, much of the character’s detail goes unnoticed. This was required to get the right perspective and framing for the alley.

The size of the original drawing with just the character was actually very large (2500 x 3500 pixels). I ended up having to shrink it down to a tenth of the size. Here is a larger version of the character all shaded and everything – note that this is still less than half of the original drawing’s size.
