Colouring anime manga in Photoshop and Opencanvas- xmas mag

For the cover of the christmas issue of my school magazine.

As always, opencanvas 4.5 plus
wacom intuos 3 tablet
adobe photoshop cs

took 2 and a half hours total
1 hour to draw, the rest to colour and adjust.

I actually did 2 versions in different colours but I personally prefer the blue. You can view them and the rest of my work at xcryptionx.deviantart.com

Wow. This is amazing. I just bought a tablet and I've never drawn anything on OC before, but because of you, I'm taking the leap. I'm stoked. Your work looks beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.

really cool. I may not be able to draw like that on the computer(limited graphics)but i can draw it on paper. though it might be a little off by 85%-99.9% but oh well.

The name of the song is called Santuray
