New Acquaintances

     This is the picture I started before I detoured onto the Luke Cage pictures.

     I did this picture at the library about two years ago.  I was doing research on something at the time, but I can’t remember now.  It’s another one I’ve had sitting around, and decided to try and digitize.

     Here’s the older man on the far left.

     And here’s the young man standing beside him.  Obviously, I decided to change some things, most blatant, his hair and hand.  I’ll get to that.

     Now, here’s the stout gentlemen on the far right.  I ended up having to draw him twice, as Sketchbook Pro crashed just as I finished the picture, and had only one more layer to merge.

     This is the last guy in the picture.  Again, some changes where made, and again, the hand is missing.  Like before, I’ll get to that.

     And here’s the lady before I finally get to the explanation about the hands.

     So, the hands.  I decided to do them separately.  I knew if I added the hands on the individual models, then it’d be hell trying to line them up.  So, I decided to do them on their own, and make the necessary adjustments after the fact.

     With all the models done, I could start on the back drop now.  All of this was done in Paint.net.  The difference here is that the pool is better done, and the tree is left out.

     And here’s the piece done, with all the parts put into place.  I did this with Photoshop as always, and did the final clean up in Sketchbook Pro.
