Description Here is a piece that is, now, a couple years old. I just got a new sketch book around Jan. 08 and couldn't decide what to draw as that all important "1st piece" so I asked a coworker during lunch and she said, "Belly Dancer" and I thought "What the hell." I'd never drawn on before and any chance to get to draw woman and get some practice in at making them look less horrible is good.
So I drew it an really liked the way it came out.
I tried Photoshoping some colors last year, but with the old technique I was using and the amount of little details I could get it done in over 9mths.
Until the other night when I opened it erased all the old colors and just dropped new ones under it, I finished it in one night. And with a lil help from some new PS brushes from my bro I was able to make a dramatic background.
Lemme know what you all think! Enjoy!

get your line art in Photo shop
make a copy of it...then in the lil window above it where it says "normal" you just click on that top layer to where it says "multiply"
and BANG the whites are invisible.
Make sure the image is an RGB!!!!
Then you make as many blank layer as you think you need for the colors. or however you do it.
