(dont worry i asked her and have her permission before i post her picture :))<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mirthwerx.com\/2012\/10\/19\/art-side-of-things-sushi-world-customer-designs\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1214\" title=\"bluerough\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/mirthwerx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/bluerough.jpg\" height=\"450\" width=\"386\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mirthwerx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/bluerough.jpg 386w, http:\/\/www.mirthwerx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/bluerough-257x300.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Once we are happy with our model, is time to put it on the drawing paper; I usually would take some creative licence to\u00a0exaggerate from the photo to\u00a0achieve\u00a0the cartoon look. \u00a0After all, Sushi World&#8217;s art style is very colorful, playful not super realistic. \u00a0So after few mints i got my rough drawing down. (see below)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mirthwerx.com\/sushiworld\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1215\" title=\"rough\" alt=\"\"

happy with the drawing, then onto the inking stage (yes, ink, I do came from comic industry background, is the old hobbit I can&#8217;t shake off :P) \u00a0I inked it with 1.0 black ink pen first, then ink the outline with 3.0 pen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mirthwerx.com\/sushiworld\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1216\"

pencil is that B\/W scanner and copier wont pick up blues. \u00a0 So, now the picture is scanned and imported into Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mirthwerx.com\/sushiworld\/\"

background and you will be left with only the bold black lines, there are many different ways to achieve that effect; for me I like to use the option under the &#8220;Channels&#8221; tab\u00a0method. \u00a0After you get rid of the white background,\u00a0\u00a0save it as the line layer, then create another layer below it and start coloring. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a
