Lady Gaga cartoon by Elias Chatzoudis

[smexxibunny1]

love IT OMFG

[LTCJ2006]

Wow! So when you do the coloration, do you have multiple layers? Oh and do you have the "multiply" the layer to add the color and shading?

[eliaschatzoudis]

@LTCJ2006 No The layers must me normal, no multiply:)

[LTCJ2006]

@eliaschatzoudis OH, okay thank you SO MUCH! I really admire your work and I wish I could draw like you some day :-). I have been looking at how other people color their picture and they all say that you need 3 different layers and each layer has to be "multiply". I am so glad you told me no. :-)

¿Que program usas para dibujar?.

[LuvsHerSoldier]

Is there a way to do inking like that in photoshop other than tracing the line art? I don't have illustrator...

[aggiesable]

Amazing Elias! You are very talented. Keep up the fantastic work.

[faisaldurr]

Hey man, i absolutely love your art and am a big fan.... can you tell me what brush or technique you use for shading skin etc?

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

awesome picture, i love everything about it, is it just me or does the last song sound like the 90's song "I Saw The Sign" but a tad different?

[LuvsHerSoldier]

@YrUlUKkiNAtM34 The last song is an instrumental version of Lady Gaga's "Alejandro"

[Pinkaila]

Just... WOW!! XD... amazing colouring skills O3O how long did it take altogether??

[eliaschatzoudis]

@Pinkaila thank you, about 10 hours(design, lines, coloration)

[Pinkaila]

@eliaschatzoudis Wow XD...

[eliaschatzoudis]

@Pinkaila About 8 hours..

[glocniggafuck]

needs a larger jew nose and needs to look alot more cuntish in terms of unwarrented self-impotance. You sjhould also add a more fashionista outfit for her which is totally original and nothing like what bjork, madonna, bowie or elton john ever did before.

[sassygirl2255883]

lady gaga wears contacts pppl sheesh her real eye color is brown...

[chany0789]

f***ing awesome!!!!!!!!!! wow it would take me forever to draw something like that. Very inspiring.

[eliaschatzoudis]

@chany0789 :)thank u

[MyDarkestFaerie]

your drawing was amazing and everything, but lady gaga has green eyes, not brown.

[eliaschatzoudis]

@MyDarkestFaerie I think that are brown-green :)

[XEuphoricXNightmareX]

@MyDarkestFaerie In the Telephone video she had Brown eyes though :)

[JustRecordAlready]

@MyDarkestFaerie she always wears contacts thats why they are sometimes green

[OOOLDSKOOOOOL]

wow !! 

[iSniffyLyrics]

Thats very cool! Your very talented. You should do a Katy Perry one!

[sstuart85]

Great work as usual! Just wondering, how do you create the line art that isn't black? because every image I do always looks so one dimensional...

[eliaschatzoudis]

@sstuart85 Now the lines I made with pen(Ink) by my hand. It's more funny for me this way. The lines of illustrator programm is a little bit "cold"

[thewalkingman]

do you use separate layers for different sections when you're coloring? Like, is there a different layer for her skin and another for her hair and so on?

[eliaschatzoudis]

@thewalkingman Yes exatcly. This helps me!

[thewalkingman]

@eliaschatzoudis Ahh, cool. That's what I do as well. I was just curious. I've never done line art in Illustrator, but I'm going to try it now after watching your video. Thanks!

[wildone106]

Incredible art man! What kind of tool are you using to create the linework in photoshop Im not very familiar with the pen tool or how to use, but it looks like you have an awesome method can you give any tips?! I hope U come out with a book or something man you'd make tons of money!

[wildone106]

@wildone106 Ok ignor my last comment about the lines I see u used illiustrator lol

[eliaschatzoudis]

@wildone106

The lines I've made with Illustrator program and with the pen tool. Just helps me the keyboard and the abridgements like, "command with alt" for better control of the pen.

[Rufus3698]

Love your art. Very interesting illustrator inking, but how long did it take for this piece?

Also, what's the soundtrack(s)? Thanks!

[eliaschatzoudis]

@Rufus3698

The music are "telephone, bad romance and alejandro" instrumental.

This piece takes me about 10 hours.

[cindzy1]

@tortolita07 Thank u :)

[boredem]

hey Elias amazing work ..I love your style .. I wanted to know how you get your brush to be a brush icon when you color instead of the normal circle brush

[eliaschatzoudis]

@boredem Hm maybe the right answer in your question is that... you will go:

menu>edit>preferences>display & cursors and you will check the standart with pen icon!! ok??????:D

[boredem]

@eliaschatzoudis Thank you ! :D
