Draw it again contest: Cetrina II


I decided to enter a contest on Deviant art. The goal of the contest was to re-paint something you have painted before to see the progress in style and technique. I chose an illustration from 2007. I feel my style has evolved quite a bit, I like the more hand drawn feeling my illustrations have now, but I have to say that I still love that illustration from 2007.

Original 2007
Remake 2012

As usual, here is the process:

1. Sketch on Photoshop CS5

2. Overal values in b/w

3. Rendering in b/w

4. Color and final


The contest is now on the jury stage, wish me luch, 50 semifinalists and 10 finalist will win premium memberships in DA.
