Amazing, Aron, absolutely amazing.

Now, uh, I'd hate to make an issue out of this again, but did you mean for Al to have five fingers in this picture as opposed to the four fingers you definitively decided upon for the last picture?

That's great, Aron, and I know it's gonna be even better when it's coloured!

There are a couple of free programs out there. Obviously they aren't as good as Photoshop or some of the others, but you can't beat the price and they are very functional once you figure out how to use them.

I know it's not much but thats the first dive in to the pool. I should have waited until tomorrow after some sleep but I was dying to do anything. My hand had a tremble by the time I got to the accordion so I am quite disappointed in the keys and bellows. I will have to touch those up in Photoshop before I lock the layer and dig in to coloring.

I am pleased with one fact though--- I have the color palette left over from the first image. The costume, accordion, skin and hair--- will be a matter of fitting it to this piece. I dont have to hunt anything and Im super happy about that. I settled on a color scheme for his Jedi Garb and I want to leave it that way.

that is so awesome!

Thanks everyone!

Some of those programs are a good start. I learned a good chunk of stuff in some classes at school.

The rest I pick up over time. If I see something I like, I ask, and more often than not, the person who did it, is willing to explain how to do it.

Well I broke the period of "Blah, no drawing!" I had going there for a while and started what I hope will be part of a series now. Remember this?

I'm starting another picture and this time, it's Rubén!

It will have the bold colors. I might add some highlighting to the hair (no, not those highlights) to give it some depth.

Keyboard-- and bright background.

Problem is when I started... I started at an angle on the paper and didn't have it in me to erase and start over. It will be a challenge to see how I do this.

...and man, it's hard to do everything in ONE style.
