new illustration...

This is a new illustration I'm working on. It's based off an old illustration I did a few years ago. In one of my illustration classes, I had to illustrate a phobia. I ended up choosing Iatrophobia, the fear of doctors. I know I probably pushed this concept way too far but I wanted to do that anyway.  I've always wanted to redo what I did originally but I ended up not doing it because I wasn't ever satisfied with my thumbnail compositions. I finally decided to tackle it again because it would be good practice for me to use some perspective knowledge that I taught myself. 
I'm planning on painting it soon but this is the drawing of it. I started drawing it by hand but doing the perspective part was really annoying because I didn't have enough room to use my vanishing points since they are way off the page. I also have trouble drawing things that are small. I ended up creating the grid and set up the vanishing points in illustrator and connected the lines that way and brought the image back into photoshop where I started laying out the figures and interior room. 
I'll post more soon.

more updates

I've been looking at a lot of tutorials online while work was slow. After looking at this again I decided to keep painting it and I added more contrast and layered up the color some more.   I think it definitely made a difference although I'm not sure that you can see the difference since posting on here washes out the color. I decided to post it anyway. Enjoy.

new work in progress....

This is a new character design I'm working on. I freakin redid this like 4 times but I finally like how it looks. I'm also using some different photoshop techniques and using some more custom brushes. The finished version will be up shortly.
