Sketch: Dude and Doc

I had not planned what to draw today. So I decided to use this time for practice.

Here is the reference

Few things I noticed today.

Having a digital canvas has advantages of being able to zoom in. This came in handy when coloring the hair and t-shirt.

While at normal scale (no zoom) I have to fill a tiny portion so as not to worry. But I lose precision. I am unable color without leaving tiny white/uncolored marks.

Zooming in gives me better control. But then there is more area to color.

I used biggest size to color, but due to this, I colored over the original black borders.

No problem.

After coloring the t-shirt, I switched to the smallest size and drew the borders again where I had earlier “painted”

Fun!

Obviously, other benefit (of digital art) is the ability to select and move stuff around.

Another thing I noticed is that even though I had reference image, the recreation turns out different than the original.

Looking at the original, the first one “seems” like a boy, while mine looks “grown up” (Dude)

Could be because mine has more hair 🤔
