Just had fun painting this guy since I have been watching so much college basketball recently. The background is of Mackey Arena at Purdue University – my alma mater – used Alien Skin’s Snap Art 4 with a Pastel preset on this. Decided to give him a light beard and mustache by using David Belliveau’s beard brush. The eye iris’s were created using Kristina Sherk’s striations brush (not sure when I got it) and Grut’s OI Chip Gimble brush for the speckles (watch for his free brush of the week-some great brushes at this site). The chalk brushes used are in most of my recent drawings for the skin and uniform. Just followed my regular workflow of doing a rough drawing, then a refined drawing, before adding color below. Next details, shadows and highlights were added…….Digital Lady Syd
