Thank goodness to photo editing!

In one of my illustrations for the upcoming The Story of ABBA 2.0, I made a terrible mistake.  When I was halfway through colorizing this illustration, I realized that I hadn't completed the drawing!  Benny's left shoulder and arm were missing!  I would've just added them to the actual physical drawing, only I was halfway through colorizing it, and trust me, colorizing is a very long process!  Instead, I decided to use my photo editing skills.  This is the final result:

Basically all I did was copy Benny's right arm, flip it, rotate it slightly, and put it where the other arm was supposed to be.   And voila, my illustration is complete!  :D

  2. I made that same mistake in that drawing, I was drawing them in 1979 on tour I realized that Bjorn's arm was too fat :S I was drawing in mechanical pencil so it was erasable, but I didn't feel like erasing:)I was going to have him hold a microphone and the extra line looked like a cord so I had that as part as the microphone. SMART MOVE WASN'T?

    1. That's a good idea! :D I'll think about it! I picked up color pencils quite recently, so I figure if I wanted to I could do pictures on a weekly basis and put them up like that. :)
