I created this in Illustrator. I used a 4 square checker pattern, top row black/white; bottom row white/black, for the pants tile pattern.
I used just enough blue/white gradient and gray shadow to make the white jacket and hat stand out from the white background.
I kept my line work simple, varying the thickness to give some of the 'under areas' and shadow-y areas more weight, ala "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" by Stan Lee and John Buscema. (A MUST have!)
I worked to keep the design of the character balanced, not just wanting to create a character, but an iconic image. :)

Great work Andrew!!! it is amazing the things you can crate using your imagination and help from a computer. I still work just using traditional techniques but I hope I'll learn photoshop soon.
Thank you for passing by, I guess we can be in touch.

I like your blog. It rocks!
Hey Gabriela, digital is cool, but your traditional work is great! That abstract of yours I commented on seriously blew my mind. :)
Thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate it. :)
