In Good Company , Artwork..

I was in the mood to go back to my usual cartoons yesterday , and so I came up with the black and white drawing you see below. There's no story behind the topic , just felt like drawing something cheerful and 'cute'.. even though it was around 4 am at the time I drew it and i was NOT feeling cheerful , nor cute. lol

Anyways.. this is the progress of the whole thing :

Step1 : The original hand drawn img.



Step2 : adding the colors using adobe photoshop.



Step3 : adding some brush shadows and lights to give it a slight 3d look instead of leaving it flat , took me around an hour to get this done.



Step4 : now this took me a long time to get done , cause there are little details in small spaces which can be rather hard to handle , this was to increase the 3d effect. Done using adobe photoshop's pen tool..and took me around 2 hours to get done.

This here is the Linework ,to show the details :



And this is what it looks like in color , and on top of the previous brush highlights :



Final outcome :

This is the final artwork , after I combined all the above steps and then added background colors , text , some mask effects. Click on the img to view the proper full version.



The whole thing took me a little over 6 hours to complete , but it was fun and worth the time.

hope ya'll like it. :)
