Legendary Ninja
This week I’ve created this piece for illustrationfriday.com. The theme is “Legendary”.
The legendary shadow warrior, known as the Ninja, were a clan based society in which all children were trained in the art of the Ninja. Ninja were used more as spies than assassins, contrary to the popular mythology. Women were often employed to get into areas where men could not go.
I drew this in my sketchbook, just line art, then I scanned it into the computer and painted it in photoshop. I think I will do this kind of thing more often then trying to complete an actual hand painted piece, which takes much longer for me. If I like the image, then I will paint it, if not, then I won’t take the time to paint it, I have so much stuff going on, I have to pick my free time.
