Photoshop and drawingtablet

Move, please...

Alternative titles would have been: 'Mister Sharky-buns and the Gutsy Diver', 'Give us a kiss then', or 'Swimming with the fishes'. Yes, I'm weird that way. ^^

Ever had that feeling, when you have an idea for a picture in your head, and for some reason you just HAVE to draw it, or it'll eat your soul? To me, this was one of those pictures. It was sitting there, in a dark corner of my mind, going: 'Draw me, mortal!' in a scary booming voice.

So here it is. Had to be done. Who is in whose way? I don't know. Why is the shark an anthro, instead of a regular shark? Beats me...

As for the technique, I took the opportunity to practice some painterly techniques here. At first I wanted to draw it completely lineless, but since I'm still not used to painting that way, I ended up using some vague line art anyway. The whole thing is still very rough, because, frankly I lack the stamina to finish projects like these. I probably could have carried on for a while, but I wasn't sure if it would lead anywhere. Am I even on the right track here? Am I using correct techniques? I really want to learn how to paint digitally.
Also, I know the underwater atmospheric effects don't look too hot. I seem to have forgotten how to draw them right. I need to study up, it seems. Anyway, enjoy the strange workings of my mind! :D
