Nine Characters :)

Here are some cute characters that I created the other day.

I should make tiny paperclay dolls out of these little people :)

How I created them:

Step one: I drew the design on paper with a pen and I scanned it at high resolution. (Above)

 

Step two: Using Photoshop, I applied another image on the drawing (this image/layer is a picture of a very old page from a book) 
 
 

 

Step three: I colored the figures on a third (transparent) layer, also using Photoshop, in the multiply mode to get the watercolor look.

If you're familiar with creating digital art, these three-step explanation will make sense. Otherwise this is something that you could learn by exploring Photoshop tutorials out there on the internet. That's how I learned to do this thingy.

Happy Monday!

Elsita :)

Adorable! I can see their personalities and stories evolving as you created them!

Very very fabulous. Love that watercolor look: I'll have to check out the "multiply" function in Photoshop!

I love your creativity Elsita! If you keep inspiring me like this, you might just help me unlock the creativity inside me!! :) ;) The little people are great and thanks for the Photoshop tips.
