Description This is a character design I came up with years ago. I found an old sketch of this dude and decided to do an updated drawing. In the original he was just standing there, so this time I tried for a more dramatic pose and included some flowing energy.

This was done on an 11 x 17 illustration board. I used a soft lead 3B pencil to render the image, giving it the look of being inked.

Thank you! In Photoshop we turn the line art into a separate layer, then lock the layer. Then we just color on top of the line art, and since it's locked, only the lines are colored. I hope that makes sense, it's kind of hard to explain.

Thanks! I hate inking! LOL! The soft lead pencil suits my style much better. Once I scan it, then darken the lines just a bit... instant ink! Yay!
