Katamari <3

It's time for another edition of my art process!!!!

Let's start off with the super crappy sketch, shall we? I drew this on the train one day (because I'm sad) but it looked kind of decent so I decided that one day I'd color it in. It must have laid in my notebook for at least 2-3 months before I found it again. And o man! Note the yellow paper. Why is my paper always so YELLOW.


And so it begins. I wanted to do something different with the coloring so I decided not to outline this drawing before I started coloring. I used the preserve transparency tool that I heard people talk about online (and I had no idea what it was) and it was actually really easy and convenient for the purpose of coloring. whee! Try it if you ever have the chance...

But as you'll see, I changed a lot of elements in this... The king is no longer there and all this sushi related crap started appearing. That's b/c I thought that the Prince in the sketch was actually wearing a chef's hat so I thought to myself, "wouldn't it be cool if he were rolling up sushi?!?".... Then my mind wandered and I came up with the below. Poor King... he got lost in my thoughts...

I forgot to screenshot this, so please bear with the partially colored pic. Only the prince is hard core colored though!


I thought this pic was looking pretty bland at this point so I did a lot of editing and split second decisions to make this final version below.


I was happy with this pic at the end of the day. It's not the smartest picture in the world and it doesn't say anything, but Katamari Damacy is cool anyway. ^__^
