Realistic Pokemon Pokeball Concept By Jonathanjo

Happy weekend everyone. It's been a while. I wanna talk about my childhood story. Everyone has their own cartoon interest. For example.. Ultraman, power rangers erm.. Digimon and so on. For me, the best cartoon that I love the most is Pokémon. Why? It is because.. I learned so much friendship value in this cartoon. And I have to admit that I still watch Pokémon series.. haha

So back to the topic, I really 'shazamed' with the artwork that Jonathanjo produced. It was like, Pokémon really do exist in this world. These are some artwork that he did. :)








Interesting. Isn't ? He has done a really good job in manipulating poke-ball with Pokémon. I think he should continue this awesome concept. For more, artwork update and shop you can visit the links below :

 3)    MAKE REALISTIC FOLDS EFFECT.

To make realistic folds effect, Duplicate all layers by selecting all shapes that you created by Ctrl+D ( copy ) and Cntrl+F ( Duplicate). Do not group all the shape. Click shape #1 that you have duplicate and apply shadows.  To apply shadow click Gradient Icon on the right side toolbar and follow all options below. Then change the blending option in Transparency to Multiply.
