Drink Responsibly

A pin-up piece I did for the Pin-Ups february contest. You can check out their page here: [link]

I can't believe how fast I'm getting with Photoshop. I did all of this yesterday after I posted all of those Desktops I did so long ago.

I drew every bit of this with the mouse. No Wacom, no pencil scan, nothing. I guess I should say that the label is a scan, however, but the rest is all me. Just quick drawing with the mouse in Photoshop and then color. It's a parody or even homage to Mel Ramos, who would put strange products and objects in with nude pin-ups of nekkid ladies. I don't think it was done for any sort of commercial use or the like, he just did it to be weird, and it was usually really cool and funny.

I normally use less intense skin tones, but I thought I'd try to pattern after him a little and use more yellow and orange in my fleshtones, but I couldn't stand it throughout and toned down parts with blues, pinks, and greens.
