edit: oo it's #1 on tutorials drawing progress!! ;w;; + you can read the description to find out how i usually draw uwu press space bar or arrow keys i use firealpaca to draw so this might only work in firealpaca! idk, i still prefer you making your own unique way to draw! - step 1: think about what you're gonna draw in your mind. after you do that, draw the lineart. you can use black or any color, i just like to use the color of the character's lineart as basic oof i like to use the watercolor brush,, it looks softt - step 2: base color. i use the magic wand tool and select all the blank parts, then go to select and inverse it. - step 3: color up the base with the designs the character should have! - step 4: color the lineart! this step is optional if you don't want to color your lineart into the fancy ones, i just think this looks better - step 5: shading! one rule when shading: NEVER USE BLACK. black is terrible for shading...... i prefer just use the color of the lineart, but i used deep blue here. put the blending type to multiply it looks better. for the hair highlights i used light blue (i tried with white first but it didnt look rlly well here) - step 6: well i can't rlly explain how this works. put light/pastel blue on the side that should be shadows (srry my english is rlly bad) which is suppose to be the "cold" part - step 7: add effects! i love sparkles fdfghj - step 8: why not add a simple background? - step 9: add some final effects and you're finished! uwu font from thumbnail: https://fontmeme.com/fonts/amatic-sc-font/#previewtool this is my girl from a comic series im working on rn ;w;; and her name is demi <33 https://toyhou.se/2411015.demi
