WHO WANTS TO SEE MY "THINGY"

Here is my finished picture of the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing.

I had to get rid of the BRUSH effects on this page because it slowed my computer down to much.

So I went it with the PENCIL and A GRAY FILL and STROKE to make the shading effects.

I did the dark Gray on one layer and the lighter gray on the layer UNDER the dark one. This really gives the impression of smooth shading.

I also created little light grey lines around the shading areas to make it look like I used a real brush and the hairs created some random Happy Accidents. :)

Once I created the black background I saw that the Thing didn't pop out as much as he did against the white background. To correct this I created a small white line around most of his rocky outline. This helps pop him out of the page and away from his background.

I then added white dots to make it look like rocky debris was falling off from him as he moved and the rocks grinded together. That little extra attention to detail really pays off.
