Wow, I can really see you improving with each piece you do The design on the beard is really cool and the whole picture has fantastic style. I like the tattoo as well, really suits a surfer. My only suggestions would be if you wanted to create depth, darken the bushes and sky as they get further away. Great transperent water effects ^^

I totally dig the Board.
would dig it to see more of the chick on the board, dude..
do you have a guffy toe ( are you a sufer ?)
this one looks like my partner as is, and he is going to freak out when I show it to him...., but his board is trashed, he is to cheap to spring for another...
this is a great Piece of work ,

Thank you very much for the comments.
After finishing the board, I've been itching to do some mermaid drawings, so look for those in the near future!
I have actually never been surfing, but I wanted to practice drawing guys and well, a surfer seemed like a logical choice, plus it gave me teh chance to do some design stuff with his surfboard and boardshorts.
Thanks again!

ok I think I see a boo boo look at his elbow?
surf board kicks ass!
tat is nice I wouldn't mind rubbing oil on him rrrrrr... I mean ya he's a good looking man
opps the tree that in the middle another boo boo
I do think the yellow streaks are a tad to much and he should seek another hair dresser for putting those yellow tons in his hair
try maybe grabbing the color tones from this image? [link]
or go here [link]
the sand is a tad generic if you are using illustrator CS you know they have a texture tab
and you can make your own texture.
any hoot cool design gunna fav it
:hugs: toodles

Thanks for all the comments. I actually really like his hair. I figured it would be more blonde than usual since he's a surfer, plus I just liked the contrast. I think I finxed the mistake on the palm tree, I wasn't sure what you were referring to, but i had cropped it wrong, so the diamond thingie stopped early.
As for the sand, I couldn't get the pattern thing to work for me, and I was too lazy to read about how to do it, so I just made up my own pattern and used that. Bad me! lol.
Thanks for my boopy, I loves him!

listen I am lazy too but when you get some free time read will ya? it wouldn't hurt
if you go to my site and click on tutorials once there I have now added a second page to that click on that once there...
I have I think 15 new tuts for illustrator
and yes I noticed you fixed the palm tree but you didn't fix his elbow
maybe rounding off his elbow would fix it? if you don't wanna its cool just thought I would point it out
any hoot think happy thoughts and
have a happy FRIDAY!!
