Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 04, 2011

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. To Ladyfingers88, it is not a photograph. To do the sky I used watercolor pencils, markers and blender markers. I then scanned it at my studio in Seattle and uploaded it to Kansas City where my digital colorist at Universal Uclick, Brian Whitmer, gave it even more life by marrying the black and white line work and bringing everything together with his digital art expertise — a great collaboration. He’s one of the best in the business.
