Surfer Boy


The second one I finished using the burn/dodge tools. It took me longer than the School Girl one because I had so many lines in the hair. I messed with the color balance for a while because blonde is a really hard color to make, and have it look real. That's why there aren't alot of animes with blonde characters. I had to make the skin really tan to look good with blonde hair. That's why I called him a Surfer Boy, because he looked like he'd fit in ^.^
The sketched version looked sad, or depending on how you looked at him, tired, which wasn't my intention, so I changed it in the colored version. Now he kinda looks anxious or nervious or something.
I couldn't figure out what to have him wear. He was gonna wear a tie and look like he was with the School Girl, but I nixed that idea. So I flipped through clothing catalogues until I found that jacket.
