Merciless Morgan lives!

And me thoughts me saw him dead with me own eye.


To explain, my family and I did a Murder Mystery the day after Thanksgiving and my brother Eric, Merciless Morgan, was the unfortunate soul to be murdered. We took a photo of him which ended up being a perfect subject for my first ever completed digital painting - Wahoo! I still don't know what I'm doing but it was a fun process. I tried to give it a caricature type of look and so I distorted his face and proportions quite a bit. I've included some of the steps of the process below. The first sketch I did was with a normal paintbrush which ended up leaving no variation in line but since I was painting over it, it didn't matter. I have recently found some brushes that simulate a very realistic pencil so I'll be using those in the future. Anyways, I hope those that attended get a kick out of it.
