Great job. I like this character created by you. It would be great help for those who really want to create a character in photoshop.
Many thanks for sharing.

This is a great place to start, but the colors used are a little washed out. To instantly cause yourself to select better colors, lay down a flat neutral over the entire document before selecting your colors. You’ll be amazed at how much richer your finished pieces will become (and it also cuts down on eye strain!)

It’s weird seeing a character design being completed in Photoshop but it most definitely is capable of doing it well! You’ll help out a lot of people re: those that don’t have Illustrator!

No worries! I love reading your stuff on here!

When i do get the chance to illustrate (a rare treat at work!) I would normally use illustrator, and then move into Photoshop if affects need to be applied.

But i’ll be interested to see your Flash tutorial as that’s where I started illustrating (many years ago) – i didn’t know about anything else! (naive!)

Yeah more personal preference really as when I was starting out it’s all I had to work with. I do most of my general work in Illustrator to be honest.

I will also create a tutorial drawing in Flash soon as its vector illustration capabilities are now becoming pretty awesome. Thanks for your comment cmckelvey

Great tutorial!

But why Photoshop? Is it personal preference over Illustrator?
