Bearuh asked me how I did the grass and a few others asked about the background. The trees are drawn free hand, separate from the main illo. Then they are painted in PhotoShop with masking and the paint bucket, texture and shading is added with brushes set on multiply, highlights are added with brushes set on lighten, and more shading is added with soft brushes set on multiply. The grass is a PhotoShop brush that I used with several colors, opacity, and sizes. Then I added more texture. You need to be careful using brushes that paint a whole image (like grass blades) so that it doesn't look cheesy.
You pulled it off quite nicely - I would have thought they were drawn freehand as well! I'd have just used acrylics and cleaned up in Photoshop - and taken three times as long doing it. Thanks for sharing!
grass brushes, eh? ahhh...only in sunny california...time to quit that day job my friend...i'm so not kidding. but YOU'RE not gonna listen to MOI! <| :Y
I made my first attempt at coloring in Photoshop HERE. It took me 4 and a half hours and it ended up looking like I colored it with marker (my usual medium). I made one more attempt a week or so ago and abandoned it halfway through. So, I am back to plain old markers and a little bit of Photoshop enhancement. I have no patience. You, my friend, have the patience of JEEEOOOORRRRBBBB!

This is so neat and a refreshing take on 'boo'.
I love this!!!!!! The show of hands is fantastic, and the lighting on their faces is superb!
