I have done this picture for the Spanish version of a European events guide called Partysan. I had to maintain the upper part and the right bottom corner rather empty for the logo and the titles… and the subject was free.

I started by drawing sketches of the girl and the cat that I imported in 3DS max. I added the mesh of the scooter and I played with the camera. It was really comfortable to choose a good perspective. When I was happy with the settings I drawn the final sketch on paper. I prepared the painted background with really heavy strokes and I painted a first version of the palm trees, of the scooter, of the characters over it

I scanned the painting. Then with Photoshop I refined everything and I worked on all the details, the gloss on the lips, the eyes of the girl, the stripes on her helmet, all the stickers, the spotted layer over the rainbow, the “ghetto blaster sound” and its shadow, the sun, some extra white stains…
