This tutorial shows you how to create the character of "Gambit" from movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" - an illustration tutorial using Photoshop and only 2 standard brushes. When doing character illustration it's important to not only meet the characters description and have a concept how the character moves or behaves in different positions. It is also important for illustration to put this character into a teasing perspective that makes a book cover, magazine or even a comic stand out.
