Toon for the day - "Angry mama"

thats awesome dude! - what software you using?
Thanks man Dale, I really cosmonaughts aswell, especially the little red russian dude, he looks a bit freaked.
I used plain ol' photoshop, using layers and my nifty little pen tablet thingy. Though I do sometimes draw the Illustration straight into photoshop, with this one I used a good old fashioned fine liner and then scaned it. Sometimes you just can't beat the prehistoric methodes for creativity.
...that first line was ment to read "I REALLY DIG the cosmonaughts.."
know wot u mean - sometimes i dont wanna touch the pencil sketch cos its usually got something that gets lost in the software. i know! i'll frame the shit
HEY! we need a wednesday beast!!!
I've done a bit of research on how all the hot illustrators out there work and the general consensus it to do all the sketching and twiddling on paper. Only when you are happy with the solution do you scan it in and redraw it in vector. From there you can add shadows, highlights and textures. And knobbly knees…
and wobbly knobs!
Pencil sketches have definitely got a life of their own that you often loose when trying to replicate digitally, or even if you're refining to ink. Strange but true.
Nice Liam.
nice liam, kinda reminds me of that one messy cartoon of that guy that tells his dog to sit, not shit. will try and find here somewhere.
