Here is a quick illustration study I made starting from a sketch book drawing. I created the character by first making a pencil sketch, I then scanned the sketch and digitally added smooth line art and color. I really like how the light and shadow brings the character to life. I also enjoyed adding the small idiosyncrasies such as his eye color, freckles, skin tones, and other small details. I imagine he has a deep voice, I will name him John Henry.
