Mint Chip SOC2 Angel_Willowing

This was done for my Summer of Color 2 (SOC2) Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream Inspirations Challenge.

It took me two and a half weeks to do this. It is hand drawn with pencils. Then inked. Then scanned, then brought into Photoshop and digitally colored with a mouse and then added layer upon layer ( I think I counted 27) plus I lumped on into a group, and then added blending highlighters like inner glows and outer glows and drop shadows and global light and more.

After doing that, I took all my extra savings and bought a Bamboo, Wacom Tablet. After my Art show this weekend, I am cracking that baby open and going to play with it.

I am intrigued to see how different that next one will be like!

    I've been playing with some online programs for digital creation, or at least editing, but i am new to it. Some of what you said above is a bit greek to me... but the results are beautiful! all the shadows give it such depth. and the women you create always look so strong. i love it!
