Kenji -From Start to Finish-

This is the second of a six image series where i will be using colour psychology to help focus the content.

Green gives off a sense of harmony and refreshment. it gives us more rest and makes us feel more at piece. because of nature it's also seen as growth and fertility. you have to be careful with green though since they wrong shade will make you think of being sick or untrustworth.

i went for the relaxing theme with my character kenji.
 now these pieces part a lot bigger then i'm used to working... so to have a close shot on a 14x20 canvas was really hard for me.... but i had a lot of fun with it.... originally it was going to be half of his body but after the composition sketch in small scale i figured out it looked more appealing close up. you can still see all my pencil in this shot.... dunno why i took the pic before i erased it...
anyways...
this is a little under the midway point.... i took the shot in the worst possible lighting conditions then tried to skew it so it didn't look so odd.... yeah that didn't work but still at this point i had been working about an hour... maybe an hour and a half.... i think i was more confident with this one so i was a bit quicker... then after another hour or so of just buckling down and getting this done...
took this one in better lighting.... though i really should get a set up so i can photograph larger pieces.
i really enjoyed doing this and i'm actually pretty pumped to get started on the next one... plus it was fun drawing a character whom barely ever gets any attention....
Kenji, goes by Ken. Second child in a family of 4.... has an older brother, a younger brother and a younger half sister. His stone is Jadeite and he's one of my more carefree characters...
or is he? dun dun dunnnnnnn

alright so my remaining colours are red, orange, yellow and blue.... i may do more after but for now i need to get one of each colour done.

So it can be purchased as either a print or an iphone case at Red Bubble
