Just a drawing of a little fishy guy. Kosher, of course.
When I was adding color to him my first instinct was to make him green, but that seemed like too much of a cliche. So I played
with the color sliders in Photoshop and settled on a less common blue. I added a little bit of red to his face, belly and fins to give him some life.
I based his eye on that of some kind of lizard I found online. Not sure if the scale effect is working, but it's the best I can do.
I was just about to upload him when I realized I'd forgotten to add
his underwear that were in the sketchbook doodle I did of him. D'oh! So I
had to go back and quickly add his tightie-whities. For the record, here's the naked version that almost was.
Drawn in Photoshop on the graphic tablet.
Here's the original notebook doodle. I know it looks like pencil here, but I swear it's drawn in ink.
And here's the more polished digital sketch.
He is awesome! I love his underpants :) The colors your used work so well. The red really does liven the little guy up. JOtting that one down in my handy dandy notebook :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, I learned that that "red trick" a long time ago. It always adds some life and visual interest to a character, especially if they're all one color like this one is.
