Duke Hotness strikes again as I play in Photoshop once more--this time to make some real art.
By the way, I do NOT have a drawing tablet. All of this was done with a trackpad on my Macbook laptop, using a drawing I did in pencil/permanent pen and uploaded. The rest of this was painting by hand. TRACKPAD.
It all started out with a drawing I did last night:
Which I hated, so I took it to Photoshop to redraw his hair. And his eyes. ARGH.
But then I started to color it. And redraw it. And paint and...
The awkward in-between phase...BAHAHAHA XD
And I kept going because it's freakin' addictive...
I actually worked from TWO paintings for this. I eyedropped the colors from the painting to get the right hues, but painted the actual colors on myself. I had to work on that HAIR, goodness...I LOVE HIS HAIR OMG. *RUFFLES*
and Duke's eyes, because they're pretty and I love the way they turned out:
Methinks I got a pretty close likeness to the original :D!! It's a lot harder than it looks. Duke's uniform looks different because it's from a different painting. So we come to what we have to far:
Time for bed, but I thought I'd share the work in progress ;)
