Redraw of sketch so it wasn't pixelated 4. COLORSSS ngl thought this was Jay at first until i looked up who had the swords. And then i cringed at myself and wondered what i had done to my childhood... 5. blocking out shading 6. RENDERING TURNED OUT SO GOOD MMMM- 7. background - decided to do a fire background cause yknow... hes the fire element guy... 8. lightingggg originally i was gonna have the liughting come from the top but kept light coming from the bottom not on purpose so just rolled with it 9/1. FINAL EFFECTS ==========================================SO hi yalll i learned alot from finishing up this piece 1) THE SKETCH HELPS ALOT if you have a solid sketch you cant go wrong O.O 2) IF IT LOOKS BAD AT FIRST trust the process, keep rendering and adding details, and then cover it all up with lighting :3 3) STAPLE YOURSELF TO YOU DESK when you get that urge to be like "nah imma just wait to render that last piece till tomorrow NUH UH GET TO IT HOME FRY!!! If you dont do it now, you'll lose interest. 4) FIRE SUCKS TO DRAW organic flames that look realistic (side eye) O.o VERY DIFFICULT 5) UTILIZE ONLINE TOOLS the fire sparks at the end are from a free brush on the CSP store (so useful they have a store where you can just download other peoples pens I USE IT ALOT) Fire Spark Brush by RoseSense TYSM HELPED ALOTTTT <3 6) DON'T HEAVILY RENDER STUFF THAT AINT GONNA BE HEAVILY FOCUSED ON if you look at GGX's works she renderes the face and the hair ALOT cause thats where you're gaze will go to immediately and then she gives the clothing and everything else the APPEARANCE of being rendered THE ARTIST'S JEDI MIND TRICK so powerful lol B] thats basically it! i learned sm from studying and using this sketch SO THANK YOU GGX even from beyond the Scratch grave you are still influencing the community <3 TIME FOR HASHTAGS BABYYYY (i do commissions btw check my What Im Working On) ;D
