My buddy ~DocShaner chose Popeye for this past week's Comic Twart [link] and i thought it would be fun to try him out in my new style. I grew up on Popeye cartoons (especially Popeye the Sailor meets Sinbad the Sailor) so i had a lot of fun with this.
Thanks for the encouragement Evan...AHEM!
Oh and my Popeye eats cans of seaweed, not spinach.
Your style is amazing. I'm in love with your work!! I wonder if there is a chance I could use your art as cover to some notebooks i'm hand-making (it's not a company, just love books). Greets from Argentina! Laura.
The trick to textures is using blending modes on the layers. Multiple layers of the same texture at different blending modes and opacity settings help a lot. Hope this helps!
Any tips for me? Or can u show me some way to add this nice papery feel to illustrations? thanks
i see the texture you used is brilliant! Any way to reproduce that?
Do you use a self made texture or did u download it from somewhere?
The sharpnes and grain is just perfect!..
