I really liked a sketch of Ken and Joe on a bike that was done for one of the How To Draw Manga: Tatsunoko Heroes books. So I decided to do it up in my style.
Here's the teaser drawing and one with a few of the shadows already in place. I'm about half done with colors. Will post a link to the finished product when I'm done.
I love the angles of it Katsesama and your attention to detail, you capture the images of them very well. i can't wait to see the final version.
Joe looks great on his motorbike! The Condor pose! Ohhh 
I reckon there should be a Gatchaman picture exhibition.
Great pic Katsesama. Can't wait to see it finished!

Love it Katse. Looking forward to it being completed.
Oh god, Katse, I love your drawings...this is so droolworthy...
They look good!
Why do I get the feeling they've just taken Jun's bike without asking and are warning Jinpei to keep his mouth shut?
ooh! this is great cant wait to see where you go with it!
Ooooo...A Katsesama work in progress...Awesome!

Though, I will admit, your feeling is probably right and its them trying to get away on Jun's bike without paying for their drinks at Snack J.

They call it..."The great escape." Part 2.
Would they build 3 tunnels call Tom, Dick and Harry leading from Snack J tot he bike, then ride off.

I think Ken rode a motorbike in quite a few episodes.
Can't think of any offhand where Joe rode one?
Lovely picture, Katsesame
Ken rides Jun's bike quite often, too...or at least it looks like hers...
I know he rides it in the Jigokiller ep...
I can't remember seeing Joe on one either...except in Gatch 2...there is a scene with all of them on motorcycles...
Great pic, Katse! I can't wait to see it when it's done!

I like this one! It's even better than the so called 'official' art of Ken and Joe with the motorcycle! You did a great job, Katsesama! 
Of course, when I see the motorcycle I'm always thinking Jun should be 'riding'.... 
Of course, when I see the motorcycle I'm always thinking Jun should be 'riding'....
I think Ken has a bike himself, but I could be wrong.
I made this one yellow, though, because I feel like the one Ken rides is yellow, too, whether it's Jun's or not...

Well, I guess they all have motorbikes in Gatch II. I still feel like it's Jun's terrirtoy, though.

Oh very nice
OOOOOHHHH! That is gorgeous, Katse!!!! WOW!! I have to ask a question...you use gray first for shadows...and then do you do another layer with lower opacity on top? I think I remember you saying there is a diff. layer for each color...
and when you do sketches...do you use pen? Pencil is driving me crazy with all of the pixel dust...
anyway...thanks for showing this in stages...it's beautiful!

Just one thing though... should Ken's right shoulder be aqua?
This pic is absolutely gorgeous and ITA with everyone else about how awesome it has been to see the stages.
Wow! I thought the earlier stages looked good, but this is amazing.
WOAH, very, very, very, very good. And that's a understatement.
Amazing, Katse!!! I just love it! Thanks for sharing and especially for sharing each stage! I love watching the creative process.
Katsesama this is fantastic!!!!
You do the colours very well, and the drawings are so like them its incredible .

I hear you! Sometimes I feel that way about fics. I certainly did the 'power through' on my challenge fic this weekend!
Sorry to be so picky... it just stood out for me... 
Looks even more fabulous now, though!

Seeing that pic gives me the impression that they are homosexuals, should it do that?

Wow, everyone is just going down the dark path right now.
Hino is writing romance and innuendos in the Night at the J thread and Damieon is looking up what yaoi is.
I will continue to keep my hands clean.
Cloud suddenly realizes if I know what yaoi is then I guess my hands are not THAT clean.
Cloud wanders off Muttering in Lady Macbeth voice "Out, Out, darn spot." Must wash my hands and brain to get the smut out.

But isn't it much more fun being dirty?

Originally posted by damieon Where is that site at? What is the link?I'll let in something you may find scary Damieon being a guy...the site is mainly female dominated and so are the stories...
There's 3 or 4 stories there he might find appealing.
We haven't heard back from him since he went to investigate the term 'yaoi'....
That's not so surprising! Actually, one of my all-time favourite stories, by Eva, is at that site, and it's not yaoi, but it's hidden in the forum and is, sadly, unfinished...
lol I was at a friends computer last night, and I can't get on another one untill I get back to school and it is only during third hour, about this time lol.
This yaio is it something I should not look up at school?
I'd advise not looking at it at school...it involves smut...
Search the word, yaoi, in google, and without actually opening any of the links it brings up, you should still be able to tell what it means.
But then, there was no internet when I was in school, so I'm not up on what is and is not allowed on school computers.
BWAHAHAHAHHAH!!
Ok, now that you know what it is, I'll give you the URL (if you dare....)
Bird Go
And definitely don't go to this site while you're at school! I don't want to be blamed for corrupting today's youth...

Pencil is driving me crazy with all of the pixel dust... anyway...thanks for showing this in stages...it's beautiful!I clean the pencil off with a layer of white. See, here's before & after. Also remember I work at poster sizes so when I resize them to post, they're maybe 1/6 of the size I was working at. These are about 3/4 of actual size before and after the cleanup.
Here's the finished product at 100% so you can see -- there's still pixel dust in the image. When I resize down, though, it disappears.
You can see the same thing in my tut.
Thanks, baybee! So you draw really big...that must be one of my problems, then...my drawings are sooo messy when I scan them in...it takes forever to try to fix...and then I lose some of the lines...just takes practice I guess.
I'm going to try a new sketch soon, and keep these things in mind...your tutorial is so good, too!

WOW, Katse! Fantastic tutorial (and piccie!)! ITA with TJ... Seeing your tutorial really makes me wish I could draw!
Me too. I honestly don't think I can draw any better now than I could when I was twelve. I never did get the hang of depicting distance and perspective -everything I draw is pretty much two-dimensional. I am so impressed by those of you who do it well.

Seeing your tutorial really makes me wish I could draw!Not just this tutorial but seeing what Katse, Tim and Springie are able to do in Photoshop make me wish I could draw. It makes me want to go out and purchase the program just so I can see what I am capable of. Then I keep thinking I need to draw something before I even start to think about scanning it in and manipulating it.
