All done with Don here. He took me about a week from start to finish and though he also started out as a pencil sketch he is 100% digital now. Funny thing is he looks nothing like his original sketch, in fact I was very disappointed with how the drawing came out. Despite how bad the original was I decided to try and salvage it by scanning it into my computer and manipulate it until the sketch was acceptable using Photoshop. Anyway I hope you all like him as much as I do.
