Media: Digital Art, Photoshop CC 2015

Time: ~2.5 hours

My first time using my tablet seriously in two years, and of course I draw Sonic!

I finally gave in to marathoning One Punch Man during my winter break (December 2015). I drew this piece shortly after finishing the first season.

While Genos and Tatsumaki are close seconds, Sonic takes the number one spot in regards to my favorite OPM characters. I naturally love the cliched brooding, long-haired male (Kanda Yuu, anyone?). Sonic is just entertaining, though. You think he's going to be some mega villain, but he proves to less of a threat than a measly mosquito to Saitama.

Back to the art analysis:

The set color scheme that I used for this piece seemed so natural when I was working on it in Photoshop (probably because of the black background?). Once I stepped out of Photoshop and looked at this piece again, I was like, "Whoa, way too much red!" Editing didn’t help that much since the natural base is one solid color.
