PHEW!! This. Took. FOREVER. See, this originally started out as a photoshop experiment, but then I started to like it and WOOP WOP BAM, before you know it, we have this! Although, me being busy with Highschool and stuff, it took me a week or two to get this done, so please, respect :)

Now then. How this was made? Yes.

This first started out as a sketch ON PAPER which turned into an inked line drawing. I took a picture, uploaded it onto my computer, and let the games begin. So this is kind of half traditional and half digital. Honestly, I NEVER would have been able to do the anatomy on photoshop - I'm not skilled enough in drawing with the mousepad, yet. However, if I only used colored pencils for the coloring, first of all no one would care, and second the effects on photoshop are amazing.
Forgive me for the weird notch in his ear. I made the *smart* decision to GOD, WHY IS MY FACEBOOK BLOWING UP?!?!??!!!?!
gimme a sec..... ...... ........ sorry about that. *ahem*. Anywaysss. I made the smart decision to use the magnetic lasso for the V in his ear. I regret that now. AND my layers are SOOO messed up! I've got Colors in Outline and Outlines in Eye Colors and BLAH. It was chaos.

But here I am and I prevailed!! YAY :)

Just one more thing I wanted to mention: Does anyone know if there is an easier blend tool than the cotton blender? That gave me a bit of difficulty. But I thought the stripes turned out pretty decent.

CREDS.

I am the same as you. I have a Wacom Tablet that I use and I still can't draw very well with it. I usually draw my stuff on paper then scan and ink it in Photoshop. My brain does not like drawing in PS. I use a very different technique then you so I can't help you out. I don't know much about blenders :(

And I like his ear. I think the notch is good
