this was an experiment with saturation, and also my first piece that's been done purely in photoshop, without a sketch. all the shading on him (in the hair, skin, eye...) is done with different levels of saturation of the same hue. that's why he's so bright. the highlights = less saturation; the shadows = more saturation. i'm very happy with him!

Really nice! I know it's hard to draw without a sketch and you did it! I really like that he is so colourful, and the tattoo(?) of the blue dots. well done!

:-) J. lawrence replies: "yes, it's a tattoo thingy. everyone else puts them on their characters' faces, so i decided to jump on the bandwagon with this one. thx for the comment!"

xD; I can't draw at all in Photoshop, so credits goes out to you for that. And it's a profile! 1 I -love- profile drawings! They can be so very interesting! This picture is indeed very bright, as you said, which is also interesting. I especially like the skin colour and the way it doesn't quite match with the hair, but doesn't exactly clash, either. Despite the colours themselves being quite unusual used in this fashion, the way they've been combined just clicks. I mean, with that kind of skin colour, you expect the hair to be something special too, or else it wouldn't work out. However, I wouldn't have used yellow in the background. Not with the red and the blue. If there'd only been one of those colours, then perhaps, but as it is now it's a bit too different. On a different note, I really like his nose. <3 It's so nice when noses are well drawn and with character (especially when there's so much anime around these days when the characters hardly have any noses... at all o_O). ^-^ Thanks for sharing the picture and keep it up!
