Artist's Comments

From the thumb-nail or at quick glance, this looks like a photograph of a Mountain Dew can, right? Look closer.

This was actually a project I used to get to know my new Wacom drawing tablet. I traced (outlined) a picture I had of a can, colored it all, and shaded it all according to that original photo. In the end, it is an almost real-looking copy of the original picture. But the cool thing is, every little piece of it was a stroke of the stylus onto my Wacom.

Pretty neat I think. :)

Haha, thanks. Yes, the tracing of everything was easily the toughest part of doing something like this. The coloring and shading is all fun. You can see just the plain tracing here:

That took me about 3-4 hours on night to do. A lot of patience. But as you can see, it was not perfect, and the end product is pretty good.

Thanks for the comment though. :)
