A Sailor worth his salt - Kunkka

Its been a long time since I last painted, so I thought I should do a quick run, just so my skills don't get rusty. This was done with cell shading technique. Very quick brushwork using soft edge brush, lasso and pen tools. It was a learning experience as I really got a good hang of the pen tool…. such a powerful tool in the digital artist's arsenal. The background was really just scribble work. I just etched random lines with the pen tool and copied and flipped the design horizontally. Spent hardly 30 mins on the background. Total work hours put on this was 8 hours, which considering this is my 5th digital piece, was quite an improvement. Hope ya'll liked it.
