R.I.P, Ray! by Jestersoup
Ray Manzarek, the organist from the Doors, died this week. Since his music partly inspired me to play piano as a kid - and I just drew a few rock logos - I thought I'd do a tribute. I referenced a sticker (and kind of messed up the lettering), but a retro look demands a retro cartoon style for his face, so I'm aware it looks like he hopped straight out of Scooby-Doo. >_< I actually made the face on a separate screen and traced it onto this one to make sure it'd fit. #ClassicRock

Visitor, you can upload one screen to the other by hitting the camera icon at the bottom of the screen. In this case I just brought up my freehand drawing on Colors from another file and put it here. I sometimes figure drawing something on a separate screen can help me position it better in the final one. Thanks, everyone. : )
