Right now I'm working on the brain and for some reason the brain is driving me crazy. Tips on how I should handle the brain?

Epic fail, everyone knows black people's brains are grey.

I'm thinking of just making outside nothing but black outlines but I dunno. A gradient would look cool. Does anyone have any good reference pics of cartoon brains?

Well the local library is having a thing on critical thinking and I figured, why not have a cheery animu black guy have a brain pop out of his head and a comic bubble say "critical thinking!" from the brain. But I'm having trouble with how I want the brain to look.

Google ain't picking jack up that's good triumph

Better. I still think a purple tone would look good in it. Also it needs some kind of outline between the brain and the face. Try to make the line so that it looks like the skull has dimension.

Testing.

Illustrator combined with Photoshop is my favorite program ever probably. Thanks Jinfash for coming up with that brain template. I drew the brain and the outlines in illustrator and pained the lighting on the brain with the airbrush in photoshop.

Rockin'. Should finish this tomorrow I guess. I just notice a few things I have to fix like the right ear.

demi · « **Reply #42 on:** April 16, 2009, 06:31:44 PM »

yeah change the font himuro (unless they insisted on using that)

Barry Egan · « **Reply #45 on:** April 16, 2009, 07:52:07 PM »

I like it. The gap in the black outline to the right of his chin is kind of distracting though.

Hmmm.. sadly Demi is right. Since it involves work i.e. livelihood I'll try and help you out.
1) His head is facing straight on, while his body is to a side. The fact of the matter is does he even need a body?
2) Eyes are a bit too big, if anything you should exaggerate the brain and make that cartoonish ie bulging out his skull.
3) If you decide not to have a body tilt his head to create interest.
4) Lines underneath the eyes need to be more subtle
5) Font\s (this in itself is a mistake himu) are hideous. Get rid of the speech bubble and make it a heading.

Is it a poster, a graphic etc?

Himu · « **Reply #47 on:** April 16, 2009, 08:12:21 PM »

As you know it's subjective so do what you feel is right.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #50 on:** April 16, 2009, 08:17:13 PM »

Well I think he hasn't shown it to the client yet so it's still in his hands.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #51 on:** April 16, 2009, 08:33:37 PM »

Okay I read this thread so this is voluntary. If you're going to make it animu where some of the creases of his brain are you should have lightening or electricity to indicate awesome brain power.

It will also stop it looking like a penis

Real Talk: Admiration from 'people' is nice but criticism from people with a little bit of knowledge will help you become a better graphic artist\designer\programmer\librarian etc. When a compatriot compliments your work you know you're on the way.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #53 on:** April 16, 2009, 10:53:23 PM »

I was speaking generally about criticism.

Himu · « **Reply #54 on:** April 16, 2009, 10:57:52 PM »

I like criticism. What exactly is wrong with the font?

Also, I went with a body because otherwise the bottom would have negative space. I guess I could put a tagline on the bottom

One thing I dislike about the face is the complete absence of hair.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #55 on:** April 16, 2009, 11:03:35 PM »

CRITICAL

THINKING

The font is far too 'zany' and reminds me of the 90's. If you give him thicker eyebrows it should help somewhat regarding the lack of other hair.

demi · « **Reply #56 on:** April 16, 2009, 11:17:21 PM »

Make his eyes smaller too. He looks like a coked out Beezy, and if you put his scalp back on, he would be a fucking conehead Beezy

Himu · « **Reply #57 on:** April 16, 2009, 11:22:15 PM »

Unfortunately, i placed the head in photoshop so I could work on the brain. So it's one object now. Then again, I have a spare from an older .ai

How about making electricity come out of his head like you suggested as well?
