On top of keeping our dog out of trouble, I've been so busy with other projects that I'm late posting this week's 'Illustration Friday' challenge which is the word "Spent." I ended up going with my first thought which was to depict a scene of how a boy spent his saturday, in this case, reading his stash of old comic books. I guess you could say that this illustration is somewhat autobiographical, since that is how I spent many a Saturday as a kid, not to mention days when I was sick and stayed home from school.
The image was created digitally using Corel Painter's water color brushes and a leaky pen brush that I modified somewhat. Below is the original digital pencil sketch that I started with and used as my guide for the finished piece. Beneath that is an intermediate stage where you can still see the pencil sketch showing through.
That looks like a great way for a young boy to spend the day! Just reading the comics with his best buddy at his side. So sweet. love the way you show the step too!
