Draw Danny Phantom

You heard it correctly.. time to become a ghost!

• Step 1 What we first need to do is open a new document and on a new layer start drawing.
  Draw a round shape for Danny's head, a triangle for his body, and stripes for his arms and "tail". Finally some blocks as hands;

  

• Step 2 Since the previous thing was just a scetch, now start the real drawing!
  Draw some hands and arms on the place of the blocks and lines;

  

• Step 3 Add a body to the whole picture and begin drawing his head;

  

• Step 4 Then with a little smaller pencil, start drawing his face. Let's make him look cool!

  

• Step 5 Now that we've scetched Danny, "roughly" color him. And when I say roughly, I mean roughly ;)

  

• Step 6 No cartoon without lines! This time use the pen-tool to trace the lines you've just scetched. That way you get perfect straight lines instead of scetchy ones.
  Be aware that you *may* have to recolor something, but that's no problem right? This time, again, use a smaller brush for the face;

  

• Step 7 As you may have noticed earlier, I had hidden the scetch-lines. You can hide them as well, or throw them away, although I don't support that option, because you may need them later if you make a mistake.
  Anyhow, now let's start with the eyes and teeth;

  

• Step 8 If you did the coloring correctly, you should have different layers with different colors. If you haven't done that yet, redo it ;)
  Finished? Ok, *now* let's highlight! Everytime you highlight an area, make a layer above the layer you want to highlight and press CTRL+G to group it.
  Start brushing with a white brush over the hands and hair, then maybe even use a Gaussian Blur to top it off...

  

• Step 9 Do the same for the black area's, only now lower the opacity as well;

  

• Step 10 No highlighting-campaign complete without doing the face, so what are you waiting for? :D

  

• Step 11 What's that you say? Danny can't hear us? Maybe that's because we forgot to give him an ear;

  

• Step 12 Yeah, black eyebrows sure make him look much tougher and cooler!

  

• Step 13 Now use the pen-tool to draw a funny "tail"-shape at the beginning of Danny's waist;

  

• Step 14 Add an outer glow, or brush it behind the tail... your choice;

  

• Step 15 And then you're finally done. Congratulations! And have fun putting Danny is different positions! If you have some, email them to me ;)
