New Art!

So my new piece is dedicated to my little sister, Katy who just had her 17th birthday! I have wanted to for the longest time do animes of family and friends I know, but never did mostly because I want to show off their characters and personality perfectly.

This was a 3 day piece. I started by sketching in pencil, then inked it. I scanned the picture into Photoshop (which I love using!!!) and edited, added other parts (like the volleyball, my signature, and her name). You'll notice that the original does not have her right hand finished. That is because I caught my mistake while inking the picture. I originally was going to have her with a basketball, but remembered that she now plays volleyball, so I had to draw her fingers in after scanning the pic in.

I enjoyed this project and I think I'll try to do more friends and family inspired work. Below you'll see the original ink & paper piece and the final Photoshop version.

Enjoy!
