THAT PICTURE IS SO SMALL AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANY DETAILS. PLEASE CLICK HERE PLEASE PLEASE!!! IT'S A BETTER QUALITY!!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!
So I tried like.. A BILLION new things with this picture. And I'm IMMENSELY proud at how it came out!!!!!!!
tried to color and shade dreads
experimented with the 'luminosity' and 'multiply' features on SAI
studied the effects of one source light shining on an object in a dark room
tried to draw the lengthened shadow caused by that light
aerial perspective, and forshortening of the legs
finally figured out how to use the 'clipping group' feature which made EVERYTHING EASIER.
continued to develop a more realistic-looking face (and not anime)
WHOO!!! I totally can't believe I drew this!!! I mean look at him!!!!
Also my first REAL drawing of one of Anime's PGR characters, and I feel like I did Tanner and Roland justice :33
