My Website- This is my tribute to caffeine junkies, coffee addicts, red bull chuggers, mountain dew doers, Amp addicts, Jolt juicers and tea tasters. It was made with a variety of media; both traditional and digital (tradigital). I started out with pencil and sharpie markers, to set deep base tones that will be seen after several layers are added. Next, I used illustration markers as a quick means of adding the first layer of color. Next, I used color pencils to create a layer of translucent, blended color. The color pencils also serve as a ground for the oil paint layer (which is next). I use oil paint because it is so versatile, it can be applied thin or thick and it is easy to mix a range of colors- which is important when you are mixing flesh tones. I finish the artwork with oil pastels and color pencils. Then I scan it, cut it out on photoshop and juxtapose my two characters over a digital photo. Please comment, rate and subscribe if you wish! I answer all of my comments! The song is Mexican Coffee by King of Hawaii (from Youtube Audioswap)

  • It was very well ...

    It was very well done. Plus (I teach middle school) they are interested in cartoons now....and I think that any student progresses more when they are interested in something.......You clearly have the ability to draw what you see....And if you think about it, thats a pretty POWERFUL skill to have. You could say/communicate so much once you have that skill (which you do).
