Care Bear Stare

You may have noticed the theme of 80's cartoon-based doodles appearing on my blog lately. I am not 100% sure what has inspired this, but I thought I would continue this trend with my latest take on the 80's with a Care Bear themed doodle.

I hope to have some more digital art done soon and so I will get that uploaded, as well as another Dan Hunt.

Thanks for stopping by.

From time to time, people have asked me how I go about transferring my sketches into digital art.

I try to explain it, but I don't think I ever make that much sense and so I have scraped together a very basic visual guide to how it's done. There are so many different ways to approach this though, this way is just the way I feel most comfortable.

Step 1: I start my placing my sketch in Adobe illustrator.

Step 2: I then create the outline to the character and then duplicate it, offsetting this by about 2mm to give me a nice thick edge.

Step 3: After we have our edge, I go about drawing in the main detail of the character.

Step 4: Once I am happy with my lines, I then dissect the image and add the colour.

Step 5: The final stage is to add a few shadows and highlights. I try not to go overkill on this, but like to add a little here and there to give it some depth.

Ta da... We are finished.

He-man

To follow on from my Thundercats doodle I thought I would have a go at doing a He-Man one.

What is the Ninja Turtles were rubbish Ninjas?

I've always wondered what would have happened if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had discovered that they weren't actually any good as ninjas... What use would they have been for society then? From time-to-time I'll post some sketches with possible ideas. Today's idea is a Foot Stool.
