I did this sketch a while back and finally got around to making it. This time I decided to try a totally different method of coloring, and shading. Instead of using black I went with brown for the line art. I really like the way it came out. I also did the shading is different steps in order to give it a more gradual effect than the hard cartoon shaded cell style I've been doing. I think that the shading came out nicely as well. The background was really a challenge, but I love a challenge. Funny things is I spent much more time on the characters than the background. I'm really pleased with the way this piece turned out. I hope you all enjoy it.
