[Fanart] I'll give you the ride of your life (final color version)

As you can see, I made some modifications between the penciled draft and the final colorized illustration. For instance, after finishing the draft, I started seeking a jacket design from actual ones and noticed that I was wrong about which ( Read more... )

I started drawing the rough with pencil, scanned it and started retouching/reworking it using photoshop.
As I was painting colors and the scenery, it made me aware of misproportions and wrong details. I'm bad at assessing proportions when I sketch. It's by adding colors, which make an illustration look more real to my eyes, that I usually get a sense of proportions.
Also, though the rough is without reference, when I start adding colors, I also start researching about the actual things to make my illustration more realistic. Like for this illustration, I had to research what a motorcycle looks like (watched around 10 movies and documentaries about bikers and looked at gazillions pictures of motorcycles), the different fashions for bikers, the aspect of Japanese urban sceneries.

What did you study? I'm just an amateur, toying with photoshop. I've only started using the program to digitally draw for less than 2 years, and for over a year, I never knew what a layer was. LOL. I used to have the Gimp and Corel when I wanted to draw or retouch, but I was very limited by my ignorance on how to use theirs functions.
