White House Upgrades If......

Hi Everyone,

Yes, it's true, I was inspired last week by Donald Trump.  Ha - anyone that knows me personally would laugh at that, because I'm not really a fan of his TV shows or his politics.  But, he's been in the news a lot, talking about running for the Presidency (or maybe just trying to get attention to boost his show's ratings).

So I started thinking about what if he were elected President.  He's so extravagant and over the top about everything in his life - what would he do if he were President of the United States?  And then it occurred to me; I think he'd probably take down that ratty old White House and replace it with a grand, amazing and ultra modern Trump Presidential Tower.

So, like many of the works I do now, I start with a pencil sketch.  Sometimes I ink it, like a comic as I've done here.  Then I scan the piece, bring it into Photoshop, make the necessary adjustments to the file (brightness, contrast, canvas size, resolution, etc...), and finally I start working in the color.  I work in layers, so I can work front to back - or vice versa.

Mr. Trump - thanks for the inspiration.

"Man, this old place needs some serious upgrades"

Hope you enjoy your week everyone.  See you next time.

Tom
