Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Gamer Calls in Sick

Yay! Xbox Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare went on sale today. Here’s a super – quick cartoon… and for anyone who’s interested, a WORKSHOP of how I drew it.

Step 1: The sketch
Launched Corel Painter 11 and made a new document about 8″ x 8″ and 200 dpi. On a white canvas I sketched the basic forms.

Step 2: Grey Layer
I create another layer >MULTIPLY, and fill it with a warm grey.

Step 3: Base Color
Another new layer set to >OVERLAY. I grab an oil brush I use alot and begin broad strokes of color. I don’t worry too much about the details just yet. I want to simply get some color in the sketch and get a feel for the composition.

Step 3a: More Color
I’ll show you some self-explanatory snapshots of adding more color. For the UPS guy I made a new layer, and sometimes switch to a pastel brush that has a little texture, but otherwise it’s still straightforward coloring.

Step 4: Pencil Reduction
Next I select the canvas layer and start erasing the pencil sketch. I let it show through in some areas, and wipe it out completely in other areas. I remove the sketched doorway since I’ll use the pen tool to draw straighter lines than can be done by hand.

Step 5: Doorway
New layer >NORMAL. Grab the pen tool and draw the frame. Following the frame, I draw the door and any other straight lines.

Step 6: Detail

Simple as that. I dial down the big brushes and detail the image. Not rocket science… This image took a grand total of about 30 minutes.  Enjoy!
