back to digital

tonight after work i pulled out a canvas to start another painting. but after about 30 minutes watching the Clippers-Mavericks game and ending up with nothing but chicken scratch on the canvas, i sat down at my desk and started sketching in photoshop.

aaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaand, this is what i got.

i was trying to capture the essence of being out on a court by yourself trying SO HARD to dunk.










also, i was trying to challenge myself with environment, perspective, composition, etc.

i think its ok. i actually struggled a bit with the colors, which is generally an aspect that sorta just 'happens' for me. now that im looking at it again, the character is RIGHT in the middle of the drawing, which strikes me as...weird? i mean, considering i was trying to more adventurous with composition.

anyway, thanks. enjoy
