Glowkid

UPDATE: so this is my very first attempt at using Photoshop. I really liked this picture and wanted to amp it up, since the kid is suppose to be glowing i wanted to try and make him like like he is... once again I failed.. but I did some cool things with the picture. I lvoe the swirlies coming out of the back of the bike and I made the rocks look like rocks Lol. anyway it was lots of fun adn I'll be coloring in photoshop again VERY soon.


This is a peice done for www.artjumble.blogspot.com its like a weekly drawing jam thingy. super cool.

Funny concept. Those shadow shapes read to me like guns...which makes this illustration really funny, when that's played off the expression on his face.

Pretty cool image man. Are those the shadows of shotguns pointing at that kid? Sweet!

Lydia Sanchez said...

Cool draw :)

HAHA I agree how those shadows are so easily mistaken for rifle and shotgun barrels. I meant for those jsut to be rocks on the ground to help show the direction of where the light is eminating from.. i should of gave the rocks a diffirent tone and a highlight to better represent that. these things are good to know, you learn 100% more from your mistakes then from your acheivments.

That's what I thought when I first saw this too. Maybe tht's what the next picture should be: this kid in a war zone with guns shooting all around him. And he should have the same blissful glee that he has here. I for one would love to see that.

Anyway, this picture looks cool too. It looks like aliens are about abduct him or something. Well done.
