Color study on a rainy day.

It's a cold, rainy day and I've been living it up, installing new printer drivers and trying to get my scanner give me better results. This was my test drawing that I colored up after scanning.



I'm also messing around with textures and different colors.

Wow, it's raining hard. And windy. Good day to be indoors.

    So you draw free hand and scan?

    Yes. I like the look of pencil on paper then I color in Photoshop. Sometimes I do old school watercolor but mostly on the computer because I can tweak the levels and play more.

    The top hat is definitely Victorian. Though my kid has a top hat that he wears all the time to gaming tournaments. :-)

    Wow! I'm amazed that this isn't watercolour! I'm familiar with Photoshop but I don't think I could get such organic, natural-looking texture out of it. You really have an awesome technique!
