The Mighty Ballpoint Pen



Here is a little illustration I did with ballpoint pen and then brought it into Photoshop to add color and texture. whew! Most of the color is under the Pen Line layer and some of the softer highlights were added on a layer above the Inks. The chic is from some ad I found online.. for hair color or something. I cartoonified her and added some computer magic! Those are all real terms.
On an unrelated note: I have a podcast with some friends where we talk about metal music (one of my favorites) and we talk a lot of randomness. It's definitely more fun than serious. For any of you that's seen my work in Metal Rules Magazine, it's the same bunch of guys. Go to www.metalrulesradio.com and listen. If you like it, you could leave an itunes review... and make us all blush.
Thanks!
