In this tutorial we will create and quick sketch a character. Let's say it is an alien type monster. I will use my wacom tablet to paint this guy.

So let???s create a document and start our painting.

I will start from a very rough, rough sketch which will basically form the basic shape and posture of our character.

Oh yea. This time the gradation between the character itself and the background will be restricted.

So create these 2 layers:  for the background and another for the foreground character.

I???m beginning to paint basic shapes for my character. Firs I wanted my character to be a youngster super hero of some kind but then it turned to be an alien monster. It happens like this.

I???m using just basic 1-2 pixel brush size dynamics set to pen pressure, deciding how the character should look like.
