Puss in Boots!

It's been a few days of illustrating this little Puss in a scene when Puss went to the King and the Princess and told them that his master was drowning.

This is my personal project. Created for practicing and experimenting with pencil colors.
I haven't used pencil colors since I was in school!

Anyway, I've found that using pencil colors is actually help me play with colors easier and also kind of increase the illustration's saturations.. if that make sense :p

There's one thing I noticed is that when I look at this illustration. It first take my eye to the King and the Princess instead of Puss, because the contrast is higher in that area. Need to be more careful next time!

Anyway, here it is!

The Class was AWESOME and I can't thank them enough for it.

Anyway, after the lessons, SVS has offer a contest, in which we have to paint an illustration drawn by Jake Parker, and I wasn't even hesitate to join the fun!

Here's my step-by-step painting.


Since I'm gonna go for 'traditional painting', I have to trace the drawing on my paper first!

After painting water all over the paper, paint a few color for the background.

Then, after the paint is dried, start painting on details..

and more details...

...and more...

...and more...

...and done!
