My 1st Drawing in Photoshop

Finally I’m done with my first drawing in photoshop. This is my first attempt and I choose “Doraemon” because it looks like it’s easy to draw. The first thing that I did was to draw his head by creating a round shape filled with blue color and a 2 pixels black stroke for its layer property. It took me a long time choosing the color that fits well. I exert a lot of effort on it because the real beauty of your work is seen in its colors. Next thing that I did is to draw his body, which is a painful one because you need to treat your mouse as a pencil. Damn, I can’t remember how many times I use the eraser tool. I have used the pen tool most of the time. They say that pen tool is the most useful of all. You can do many things with it so now I’m trying to enhance my skills on it. When I’m done with his entire body, I color it with blue similar to the fill of his head and a red color for his nose. I add some Japanese writings behind him, a metal scratches image with overlay as its layer blending and texts with a 2-3 pixels black stroke. It is composed of 52 layers including the background. I finished my drawing for almost two hours.

TIPS(rofl):
Patience… a lot of patience
Imagination
Pretend that you’re an artist (lol)
Choose the color that fits
Love your mouse… handle it with care (haha)
Don’t hate the pen tool… it is the boss (>.<)
